Dominion General Discussion / Re: Semi-Interesting Dominion Moments Thread

Keep Game. Opponent plays something with Way of the Camel to exile a gold, bringing the Gold count to a tie, then buys the last province, which ought to be a win by +3, except I'm lucky enough to be holding a Fool's Gold. The only time I ever remember the under the line ability of Fool's Gold coming in handy.

Dominion FAQ / Re: Undo rules in rated games

« on: October 09, 2020, 12:10:36 am »

I've said this before, but I don't understand people's extreme aversion to opponents denying an undo. The very fact that the undo system exists is a nice-to-have extra that allows you to sometimes deal with misclicks. I think if the system were better-done, then undo would be automatic / not require approval if no information was revealed, and never allowed if information were revealed.

I would not approve of that. There is a setting for auto-allowing some undos, and that's good. But sometimes I want to allow information-revealed undos, if my opponent believably assures me that e.g. they would have drawn anyway, but wanted to play the Village before the Smithy, or something.

I also think revealed info undos should be normalized for situations like ending a turn by clicking on the wrong card to buy. If the request comes in fast enough I’ll tend to give those.

I click the Way by accident all the time, which often gives trivial info i didn't want.

my opponent opened Swindler, and only managed to play it three times due to bad shuffle luck.

moreover, all three of those times, it hit an estate.

moreover, on two of those three occasions, I had a sheepdog in hand.

Stockpile is a good Minion starter. Makes Minion affordable early and then gets itself out of the way.

Dominion General Discussion / bounty hunter is really good, right?

« on: March 20, 2020, 03:54:09 pm »

it cleans up provinces, it gives huge money spikes when you most need it, even when it doesnt give money spikes it's non-terminal, you can sacrifice a middling action card for money in the end game, you can even get that action card back if you like, etc.

I think Cathedral is a hair overrated. It's game-breakingly good, but discard attacks are a huge counter, so much so that you should probably avoid it on a board with them. Still might be the best project, though, and certainly the most game-warping.

Capitalism is underrated by many ranks.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: COMBO: hunting party/patron

« on: September 16, 2019, 12:15:15 am »

This isn't really a combo; there isn't much of anything that makes hunting party differ from eg menagerie or any other reveal card here, and hunting party makes it difficult to actually find all your patrons

combo threads are generally for things that completely change the game when present: hermit / market square, lurker / hunting grounds, etc

(hunting party is much better than menagerie here because you reveal the patrons that you don't draw as well as the ones in your hand; point taken that the word "combo" is controversial)

Lurker + Tragic Hero + Mountain Village

Play Tragic Hero for draw, trashing it. Gain it from Trash with lurker. Draw it with Mountain Village, play it again. Wind up playing the same few Tragic Heroes many times per turn.

Game #30558163

(this interaction is very specific to that game, where there was an incentive (Obelisk) to hoard Lurkers + extra actions (Recruiter) to start your turn off.)

Dominion General Discussion / COMBO: hunting party/patron

« on: September 09, 2019, 11:54:22 pm »

so there's a mild thread for things that should be called combos but that intimidates people,
then there's a mildened version of that, which is the same thread except you're not allowed to make the argument ("that particular set of cards appears too rarely to be put in a thread.") So those are the two threads. And initially (as you can see if you are into thread archeaology) I was going to place Hunting Party + Patron in the mild but not extra-mild thread, since I mean that's just two cards, can't get more probable than that except if it's just one card, which really can't go in a thread about putting cards together.

BUT

this synergy is so good that it deserves to be called a combo, and now there is no combos thread so therefore one must start a thread just for this pair. If you see these two cards on the board together you should probably be dropping every other idea you had for the board and spamming it. You only need a couple of Patrons but you want lots of Hunting Parties. You'll be generating 8-12 coin tokens per turn in no time.

Game Reports / treasure chest

« on: August 07, 2019, 12:04:29 pm »

game number 29405675 on tokyo

key cards: mountebank, swashbuckler, forum-dungeon-silos, church, moneylender, mission, no +2 actions, nomad camp is only +buy (besides forum)

we have roughly symmetric strategies at first, mountebanking and trashing and sifting, but hekate picks up a swashbuckler early. at the moment i thought this was a mistake because there's no room for multiple terminals -- till i realize all-too-late that i can't contest the treasure chest at all. now in the middle of a sifting-cleaning-slog, hekate's gaining a gold per turn. it's an easy win for hekate once we get our decks cleaned up and i have to buy treasures manually the old-school way.
