Edict (LastFootnote's idea)
Setup: Each player may take <1>. If they do, they put all starting cards into their hand, and put 5 cards onto their deck.
Interesting idea. I'm sure we all know how frustrating it is to get the wrong opening hands on the wrong board. I'm not sure if reducing your initial buy power by $1 will always be worth the opening hands you want, but perhaps.
Seems like the most logical opening hands you could force are:
$1-$5 (If you had $4-$3 and wanted a $5 cost)
$3-$3 (If you had $5-$2 and wanted two $3 cost)
I just wonder if there's some wording that would allow your combined, initial, buy power to remain at $7. Like having the debt only hit you after your 2nd turn, etc. Maybe that's not a direction you want to go with this though.
I tried taking debts after T2, but that was too easy to forget. This version is simpler and still gives a choice to have $7.
