Dominion General Discussion / Re: What is the worst card in Dominion?

« on: November 16, 2014, 02:08:43 am »

Thief in 2P has even less use than Scout. Scout at least does anything nice for your deck instead of clearing out your opponents coppers. (Although both are, most of the time, inferior to Silver) Even Transmute, one of the slowest cards in the entire game, has it's uses, especially with more Alchemy cards on the board. Thief isn't even a good buy in base only games >99% of the time. Sometimes against Chapeled decks it's okay, but even that are rare cases.

In games with more players, Thief becomes better and Scout will replace Thief. I also think Counting House is... pretty bad at 5, but there are situations it can shine at least.

And I think Adventurer is okay. Not "I will but it many times over gold"-okay, but in a deck with much junk it's pretty nice. Providing you can get up to 6 with much junk anyway.

Dominion General Discussion / Treasure Map annoyance

« on: November 15, 2014, 08:30:35 am »

Dunno if this is actually the right place for this.

So, I own just Intrigue and Seaside to play for fun IRL, but one of my friends always tends to go for Treasure Maps (on 2-player games, I actually think it's viable on 4p when you want to just try your luck.), and seems to either make the right choice in this, or he's just being lucky. I feel that when Haven, Tactician or Warehouse (maybe Caravan, but it conflicts at 4) is on the board, going TM should be the right choice usually, but even without these I can't seem to win these games.

Which way to counter the maps best? (With these sets) Should something like Wharf/Big Money, Torturer/Big Money be enough or is it only viable to not go for Treasure Maps when there are curse-givers (Sea Hag, Swindler, Embargo, Ambassador) or a really strong and quick engine is on the board? Or is it just tough luck?

It's not even just a single case of losing, it's always a loss for me. Should I just go for the Maps?

Introductions / Uh, yeah, hi

Hello guys,

Name's Amac, I'm a dutchman who plays dominion for... like, a year? But I feel I'm still pretty sucky at the game. So I'm sticking around to learn something... hopefully.
