I think either is fine; the original name was just a filler. Ideally a name should stick to the "making stuff" (workshop,ironworks,armory) theme and the cost reduction theme (bridge, highway, although princess doesn't really fit). I think something along the lines of factory (or manufactory) would probably be best.

Does the fact that they all have an even number of letters in their names have something to do with the answer? I know that's not the answer because it's too simple, and there are probably almost 100 other cards that meet the criteria!
(Envoy could have been an honorable mention because the middle letter has vertical symmetry.)
First spoiler:                  Yes                 
Last spoiler Well, that is true, but Militia and Goons also satisfy that and there is exactly one more Honorable Mention.

I'd tell another chemistry joke here, but all the good ones argon.  Oh wait:

What's a pirate's favorite amino acid?  Arrrrginine!

More pirate jokes:
What's a pirate's favorite element?       Gold
What's a pirate's favorite crime?       Piracy

Goko Dominion Online / Getting into the beta
« on: September 06, 2012, 10:57:18 am »
I've been trying to get access to the beta, and I signed up on the dominionstrategy front page about a month after it came out; I got no response. Then I tried signing up on Goko about 2 weeks ago, and all I have is the e-mail acknowledging that I went on the Goko website.

For other people who are in the beta, what was the latest someone signed up and was able to access the beta, and is the beta closed to new users now? Hopefully there are other people who have the same issue that I do.

Dominion Isotropic / Re: Dark Ages on Iso a Possibility?
« on: August 19, 2012, 04:14:25 pm »
Goko would not be losing money if Dark Ages was on Iso because they're not making any money from it so long as they remain in beta.
Disagree!

Added Jedit's logic back in.

Donald, is it possible you could add some insight into why you disagree? [Please don't use an analogy (for the sake of blue dogs everywhere).] On a slighlty related note, right now it seems like Goko is trying to suppress everyone and try to pressure them into buying an unpolished product, and honestly it's kind of a big turnoff. I feel as if more people would be excited about Dark Ages on Goko if we were given a taste of it on isotropic.

Pear
$5 - Action
The player to your left chooses one for you to receive:
+$4, +1 Buy
+2 Cards, +1 Action
+2 VPs

I was thinking of submitting an idea very similar to this but I just couldn't figure out how to make it work; it always seemed Contraband-ish in that it would be very hard to use.

WW: Can you explain what you mean that this is "strictly worse" than lab?  It seems to me that would only be true if +$4/+1 buy and +2 VPs were both worse than lab 100% of the time, which doesn't seem to me to be the case.
Well, this is assuming that the person to your left never wants to help you, but the person to your left can always pick the lab option. (Just like how a card that says, "Pick One: +2 Cards +1 Action, or discard a card" is strictly better than lab, even though discarding a card is almost always inferior to a lab.)

Hmmm, as a general comment about the cards, many of the other-player interactions look forced (e.g. Apple)

I think the highest scoring turns will be in Goons games (Ex: 433 points in one turn: http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120125-202536-9b6e3f08.html)

Inn works for the 3-letter card as well.
Also Chapel allows you to trash exactly 2 cards

This is a game I had on my old account. It was a colony game, and I was down 22 points with only 1 colony left.

And then on the last turn:

Quote
   --- Syzygy's turn 19 ---
   (Syzygy reshuffles.)
   Syzygy draws 2 cards and gets +1 buy from the Wharf.
(some actions)
   Syzygy plays a Baron.
   ... getting +1 buy.
   ... discarding an Estate.
   ... getting +$4.[/size]
   Syzygy plays an Outpost.
   Syzygy plays 2 Coppers, 2 Golds, and 4 Silvers.
   Syzygy buys a Province.
   Syzygy buys a Duchy.
   Syzygy buys a Duchy.
   Syzygy buys an Estate.
   (Syzygy draws: 2 Coppers and a Gold.)
   

   --- Syzygy's extra turn (from Outpost) ---
   Syzygy draws 2 cards and gets +1 buy from the Wharf.
   Syzygy draws 2 cards and gets +1 buy from the Wharf.
   Syzygy draws 2 cards and gets +1 buy from the Wharf.
   Syzygy draws 2 cards and gets +1 buy from the Wharf.
   (Syzygy reshuffles.)
   Syzygy draws 2 cards and gets +1 buy from the Wharf.
(some actions)
   Syzygy plays 6 Coppers and 2 Golds.
   Syzygy buys a Colony.
   (Syzygy draws: a Duchy, a Colony, a Silver, a Tribute, and an Estate.)

All Colonies are gone.
Syzygy wins!

So 13VP + 10VP from outpost turn gives me the [very lucky] win... Best comeback I have ever done

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Reaction cards mechanics
« on: November 06, 2011, 01:16:36 pm »
How about cards that give you some kind of benefit after absorbing some attacks?

Aschenputtel ($3) - Action-Reaction

While this card is in play, all cards cost $1 less, but not less than $0.

You may trash this card and remove 3 tokens from the Princess Mat. If you do, +1 action, Gain a Prize or a Gold, putting it in your hand.
------------------------
When another player plays an attack card, you may set this card aside from your hand. If you do, gain a token on the Princess Mat, and return this card to your hand at the start of the next turn.

For those who don't know, Aschenputtel is Cinderella in German
