There is no Menagerie subforum yet! Maybe there won't be one, dunno, but, this would go there if there was one.
Menagerie previews start Monday, and as usual I have a teaser. I like trying different things with the teasers, and well this time the teaser is little bits of text from 10 cards or card-shaped things. See what you can make of them.
"5 or fewer"
"$1 less per"
"a different thing"
"an unused Action"
"either now or"
"hand three times"
"instead, and vice-versa"
"instead of paying"
"province, a duchy"
"they discard their"
I'm 98% sure that all of these are right. The last one was a tip from Jeff Kornberg.
Setup: In games with 5 or fewer players, add dummy players until there are 6 players in the game, and add Messenger to the kingdom.
Menagerie costs $1 less per copy of Dominion: Menagerie you own.
When you gain this, you may instead (for no additional cost) buy a different thing that is card-shaped of equal or lesser printed cost.
+1 Card, +1 Action. If you have an unused Action, discard your hand.
At the start of each of your turns for the rest of the game, +10 cards. Either now or at the start of your next turn, the player to your left gains all the victory cards in the supply.
Compute by hand three times seven. If the answer is prime, gain all the curses from the supply.
When you buy a copper, you may gain a curse instead, and vice-versa.
When you buy this, you may pay $4 for it instead of paying $5 for it.
Compared to province, a duchy is worth 3 fewer points. (This has no effect on gameplay; it is merely a statement taking up valuable space on a card-shaped thing)
they discard their detonator and drop eight bombs on the continent of their choosing, killing everybody on it. Flip them over so you know they're dead.
