Dominion General Discussion / Re: Neat and potentially useful card interactions

« on: March 24, 2022, 12:35:34 am »

I haven't tried this yet, but is student + scheme any good?

Play student, trash copper, topdeck student, play scheme, draw student, trash copper, topdeck student, end turn, topdeck scheme. Repeat for a few turns.

Guess it's hard to buy anything though.

Voyage puts cards in your discard pile. It's useful for say, Emissary, Courier, or Swashbuckler.

This pile is very strong with the +Action token or Capitalism, but Tent seems incredibly niche otherwise. I'd buy it in Duke games and a few slogs, but hardly ever else. And if it never gets bought, the other cards won't either.

Besides, it's not a good idea to buy Tent just to rotate the pile. First off, doing so gives your opponent access to those cards. Second, the other cards in the pile often anti-synergize with Tent.

Honestly, I'm wondering if this pile is a dud.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Lets discuss: Barbarian

« on: March 13, 2022, 11:54:56 pm »

I've played many games where it made sense to play 3+ Cardinals, or Saboteurs, or Rogues per turn. I assume Barbarian is no different.

Note that Barbarian can be used to come back from a large province deficit (common if you take too long building your engine). Swindler can't do that.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Allies Preview 4: Recursion

« on: March 04, 2022, 02:53:12 am »

This may seem like a nitpick, but for a software engineer like me, this stuff is reuse and not recursion.  A software recursion is where a function calls itself as part of its own execution.  The equivalent in Dominion would be a card that is something like "+1 card; you may spend a favor to play this card again; discard a card".  Note that the card plays itself as part of resolving itself.  Putting it onto your deck during clean-up (which occurs after the card has been resolved) is very different.

Don't worry guys preview #5 introduces the y combinator

Merchant Camp seems good in some rushes, like gardens or duke. I played a Merchant Camp + Gardens + Workshop and it was nice.

Go for a megaturn, expand your payload, or use it immediately for a turn 3/4 gold.

Do you think you'll ever take a small set and expand it for a 2E?

Enables some funky night-centric strategies. Obviously you can gain Provinces with Departure, but it's generally worse than HoP, as you can't easily double-province that way.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: How green should your deck be before buying Copper starts making sense?

« on: December 27, 2021, 05:16:31 pm »

As a rough rule, if you're looking to buy cards that cost more than $5, buying copper is terrible. So it's fine in cheap alt-vp games, but terrible for emptying provinces.

Rules Questions / Re: Coffers Rules Change

Is patron better worded as "if it's not your buy phase..."? That way it works more often.

BTW presumably debt needs a rule change too?

I love that pubby was a UB, Dylan claimed UB, and pubby didn't want to tell us that.

Once the swowl exile became popular it didn't make sense to. I wanted scum to target me and then reveal my role the next day.

I can say with 100% certainty that I got roleblocked last night. I targeted glooble and he died.

If a scum RB exists, this gives credibility to EFHW's role. If faust says I targeted no one, this gives credibility to faust.

Scum team is WCD/Dylan/Mathdude.

Vote: Dylan

I think the clear discrepancy between faust and Swowl should be our focus. I think we have enough night actions to help confirm others for D4.

For setup/balance, with the "simple" roles we have, I'm going to assume 3 scum among 13.

If faust is town, Swowl is lying scum and we should vote him out (alternatively voting faust puts us at lylo, I believe).
If faust is lying scum, Swowl is 3rd party survivor and still basically puts us at lylo, regardless of which we vote out, if Swowl sides with scum.

Hence...
Vote: Swowl

I'm baffled you're not taking into consideration the very role you claimed. The one that gives a useful benefit when bad witches are exiled, and does nothing when 3rd parties die.

I'm just curious if you'd actually vote for him.

Swowl’s claim of survivor matches with my result of “not town”

I think I’d prefer to exile Dylan or EFHW over Swowl

Vote for dylan then

It's your turn pubby! Will you claim or no?

Why is this optional?

Since when am I not allowed to have free will

I can post the previous munchkin mayor game to save everyone time

pubby - Mayor of Munchkin city

You are the nameless Mayor of the Munchkin City. You have the power to throw parades and bestow accolades on people who kill meddlesome witches or perform other public services. Each time town successfully exiles scum, you may select a player who was on that wagon and convey on them the following honors:

Honorary Captain of the City Guard - a 1-shot vig
Honorary Coroner of Munchkinland - once, they may select a dead player. They will be told how that player died.
Honorary Drum Master of the Munchkin Marching Band - once, they may submit a list of three players. One will be mond-confirmed to be town.

You are a GOOD DWARF

The mayor bestowing the coroner role conflicts with dylan's claim of being the coroner.

Dylan's claim is dubious because he said he's a detective, not an actual coroner role. Joth used the coroner role in the last game, so why not now? Mathdude's claim is dubious because the setup is supposed to be simple, but also because he didn't call dylan out immediately for his claim.

I'm considering them both scum.
