EDIT:  Lowered it to $2 because honestly, yeah.  Maybe $3 instead of $4 is ok, but might as well make it interesting on a 5/2?

I feel like this should have been done by now, but I wasn't able to find it.  Also, I tacked on some more mechanics just to make it more fair for some stupid reason:

Ruined Inheritance
Event
Cost: $2*

You may overpay for this.  For each $1 overpaid, you may move the top card of the Ruins pile to the bottom.

Set aside the top card of the Ruins pile and place your Inheritance token on it.

Thats not the worst idea ever. It still make estates slightly better occasionally.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Annoying and potentially harmful card anti-synergies

Bridge Troll + Sage doesn't work when you want Sage to find $3 cards.

I'm terrible at noticing these sorts of cost-reduction anti-synergies. My recent one:

Peddler + Ritual
Me (early in the game): Oh sweet, I can gain a bunch of Peddlers cheaply and then trash them for 8VP + Curse
Me (later in the game): Oh. Right.

this works as long as you don't play actions before ritual

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Are promos worth it?

« on: April 23, 2019, 04:14:56 pm »

It's my birthday today and someone gave me $50. I don't have any of the promos yet, and all of them together cost $43 in the bgg store (The 8 kingdom cards for $5 each and Summon for $3). So it's kind of obvious what I have to get.

shipping included?

Great Depression

At the beginning of each turn, you may discard a card. If you don't, take your -1$ token

That doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Surveyor should be cheaper. In a platinum game it would be to strong for the other players

Lots of cards, like all Silver and Gold gainers, are weaker in Platinum games. That’s not a problem.

It says treasure. Platinum is included

Masochism
Reaction
----
When you play an attack, you may reveal this. If you do, another player played the attack, and you are another player until you finish playing it.

What does it mean (original intent) when it says "You are another player"? Do you switch hands, decks, and discards with them? Do you actually shapeshift into them and/or replace your knowledge and memories with their knowledge and memories? All of the above? Something else? If the second option, what happens if you are playing an AI?

I think it means you didn't play the attack

Dominion Articles / Re: Fool

« on: April 02, 2019, 07:41:18 am »

Due to the power of Lost in the Woods, it's important to pick up as many Fools as possible. Not only does this protect you from other players taking the Lost in the Woods effect, it also gives you plenty of fodder to feed to Lost in the Woods. A Fool's a Fool, but you could discard that Fool to to Lost in the Woods and get The Sea's Gift to get +1 Card. You could draw anything! It could even be another Fool. This was strong enough that Donald X ended up pairing Fool with Lucky Coin to slow down the game.

If it is another fool that you draw with sea's gift, won't it just be useless then?

I think your discard pile is already a card house, so you just take the money.

So is each card its own level? In that case it's strictly better than Philosopher's Stone.

isn't that why it's bad?

Philosopher's Jenga
Treasure
Cost: $3P

Put your deck into your discard pile, then use to the cards in your discard pile to build a card house. +$2 for each storey that this house has right before it topples. Return the cards to your discard pile afterwards.

Is using tape cheating?

I think so

Well, there goes my strategy.

Actually, if you use tape, it won't topple, so you get no .

Carcassonne

Action
+2 Action.
Draw a Carcassonne tile, put it as per Carcassonne rules.
When you complete a Castle: +$2 for each tile it has; +2VP for each pennants it has.
When you complete a Road: you may gain a non-victory card costing $1 per its length.
When you complete a Monastery: you may trash up to 2 cards from your hand, and gain 1VP for each card trashed this way.

(The meepos can be used to track what you gained this turn)
-----
Setup: open a base game of Carcassonne; put its starting tile on the table; shuffle the remaining tiles.

$2

Because while the Governor feel very Puerto Rico, the Walled Village doesn't feel Carcassonne enough.

meeples not meepos

Death or Glory
Event, $0

After this turn, put all cards from your deck and discard pile into your hand, trash your hand, gain every non-Victory card in the supply, shuffle your hand into your deck, then draw 5 cards.

The likeliness of having those landmarks is slim. also, there might be wall, and then this would kill you.

I'm filing this idea under "Really bad card ideas" because I feel like it's intriguing but not worth the trouble of making it work. Sorry if not original:

Oceanfront Property - Victory -$9
Worth 1VP for each Oceanfront Property in the supply at the end of the game.

Woah, it's a better Colony for $9?? How broken! I'll take 4!

It's not a better Colony for 9, it is a Colony for 9.

Morbid Lurking Librarian With Some Explaining To Do

Choose one: gain a hand from the Trash; or draw until you have seven hands in hand (not including a hand that's holding the hand of hands), skipping anything that is not a body part; set those aside, discarding them afterwards. You may wipe the blood off anything you set aside.

There needs to be a card or event that gives hands
