I think one of those should be "trashing".
Unless you were trying to make a sort of "First Rule of Fight Club" type joke.
Trashing should be on there. Junking is listed twice.

I'll see your Throne Room and raise you a King's Court.  Hey uguyz, YOU SAID JUNKING TWICE BUT NOT TRASHING WTF

Not sure if this is the best meme for the joke.

It's funny because you can't tell from a literal reading of the card's text whether this is what the card is supposed to do or not.

You'll have to use (gasp!) common sense! :o

Failing that, the rulebook makes it pretty clear.

The card text says "putting it on top of your deck", which implies you only ever gain a single card.  It gives context that leads you to the correct interpretation.

Wait, wasn't this your joke???

"You may gain a Poor House for each card discarded, putting it on top of your deck".  This still works. "You may buy a gallon of ice cream each Saturday afternoon, gorging yourself on it that evening."

EDIT: Granted, it's an awful, clunky, and unlikely sentence.  But plausible enough to salvage the joke.

Does Familiar have a Raven?

No.  Just Magpie and IGG, AFAIK.  (And now Jon Snow.)

Jon Snow
Action
Cost: $3

+1 Card
+1 Action
Trash a card from the Supply costing $6 or less.

(Reasoning: Any card with a crow in its art automatically three-piles the game every time.)

Historian
Action-Reserve
Cost: $5

Place this on your Tavern mat.  While it is there, take a History token each time you shuffle your deck.

You may call this during your Action phase.  If you do so, you may spend a History token at any time that turn.  When you do, choose one: +1 card, +1 action, +$1, +1 buy.

(EDIT: Ha ha, just kidding.  Those who learn history are doomed to watch other people repeat it.)

This expansion is all about three-pile endings as it is.  Why not?  Just run out the flipping Estates, Border Villages, and Magpies.

Whoa! I had not thought of this. Awesome.

I wonder if this will ever be a thing. I'm guessing not, because if you don't connect tactician to TR/KC, then it's a terrible place for the token.

Get two of each.  If they connect once, then they'll always connect.

Ogre Slaying Knife
Reaction
Cost: $4

Whenever another player plays Giant, you may reveal this card.  If you do, +9 VP and the attack does not affect you.

--------------------------------------

When you gain this card, place yourself on your Tavern mat until after your third turn after this one.  If there are any girls there, you want to do them.



The Darkness
Reserve
Cost: $2

When you gain this card, place it on your Tavern mat.  Whenever you play an Attack card and this card is on your Tavern mat, you may choose to have the attack not affect any number of players.  Each chosen player reveals their hand.  You can talk to each other now.

Investment 5$ Action

Choose 1:

Take 2 coin tokens. Pay any number of coin tokens and gain as many Investment tokens as you paid.

Return all your Investment tokens to the supply. For every ten tokens you returned, gain a Steady Income and put it on top of your deck.

Steady Income 0$* Action-Duration
+1 card
+1 action
Now and at the start of each of your turns: Take a coin token.

This is not in the supply

So if you invest 5 tokens and another 5 tokens, you get nothing.  I don't get economics.

Merge - Action $8

Trash an action card from your hand (or reveal a hand with no action cards in it).  If you did, this card now has the text of that card appended to the end of it, and gains all types of that card.

That's almost canon already.  The game is going in that direction.  Only you have to let your Estates do it.

So start the Really Bad Event Idea thread.

I don't actually like RBEIs.  I just like being pedantic sometimes.  Par for the course...

I think now that every Action can be Event-ified, the RBCI floodgates are sort of open.  Most of them won't be that funny, though.  Explore, Moneylend.

How about Chancel?  Or... Count (v.), or Forge(v.)?  Expand should probably be renamed to Expansion, so we can make Expand an Event.


Actually, cancel this entire comment.  Events aren't cards, and do not belong in RBCI.

Yep, probably worth $4.  Sure, Remodel gives you an extra $ in value if you want it, but it's terminal and you don't get to save it for later.  Should be a good one.

1769
Hmmm. Sort of convoluted, not sure I like.  Will buy anyway.  Maybe it'll grown on me.

So... wait, it's always worth $4 then, right? That's ridiculously OP for $2, is this meant to be a joke?

Wait until you hear about Chapel...

Oxford Literally, aka Legally Blonde 3.  After having become President or whatever the hell whatsherface did, she goes back to school to do English and stuff.  She is literally the smartest person ever now, omigod.

The problem with all these examples is that in most real-life cases the context should make the meaning clear.
The very reason that the JFK & Stalin comic is biased towards the Oxford comma is because we know who JFK & Stalin are, which makes it a self-defeating argument.
With or without the Oxford comma the meaning is clear: the strippers are obviously a separate entity to JFK & Stalin.

If you are worrying about whether the presence or omission of an Oxford comma changes the meaning of a sentence, rewrite the damn sentence!

There are plenty of generic examples (where genuine confusion can arise even with context) that have ambiguity with the comma, ambiguity without the comma, or ambiguity either way.  And yes, in most of those cases, there is a way to rewrite the sentence.  That's certainly the best solution.

My pet peeve is just the people who uphold the Oxford comma as the be-all-end-all when it really isn't the case!

The real solution is parentheses and commas.  We invited (JFK, Stalin, Strippers) to the party.  The "Oxford comma" is in there without the and.  Programmers assure us that this makes more sense, but you could write a script to parse " and" as a comma.

Double-tangent, but I think Oxford Coma should be a hipster romantic comedy spinoff on While You Were Sleeping.

I'm assuming that you have to have to reveal Moat when the hag is played, and in that case you're protected during your turn.  If a Moat enters your hand sometime later in your upcoming turn, then sorry - it's too late.

Lighthouse is in play when you buy something if and only if it was already in play when the Hag was played, so no issue there, I don't think.

I have no Lighthouse in play.  You play Swamp Hag.  On my turn, I play Lighthouse.  Now Lighthouse is in play when I am buying something, but I will still gain a Curse because it wasn't in play when the Hag was played.

Oh, right.  I should've read the actual card.  Thanks.  X-P

Throne-Hireling... From how previous Durations work, I assume both cards stay in play indefinitely, and you get the two cards each time.  And Procession-Hireling is even crazier, if there's a $7 action on the board that you can gain... and you don't even have to set the Procession aside forever, because it's not stuck to the Hireling.
