Maelstrom could have been twice per turn, which wouldn’t meaningfully change its utility as a trasher but would limit any pins.
Or just add an "if you did" clause.

Trash 3 Fortresses.  :) 

(I suppose this would require your opponent to not have the foresight to have a Fortress themselves.)

Maestrom enables a semi-pin in which you can limit your opponent to owning just 4 cards.  Have them draw up their deck using Council Room and then buy Maestrom a bunch of times.

2/5 opening with Inheritance and Desperation - bought Inheritance on Turn 2! Even more useful, Ratcatcher happened to be in the kingdom, making the Curse very easy to deal with

My best was Baker/Borrow/Inheritance/Tournament. Opened Inherit/Province and managed to get a T3 Followers before they resigned.

Okay, this looks really cool but I’m not quite following. How did you open $7/$8?

My guess:

Turn one: A hand with 5 Coppers. Use the coffer and Borrow to get $7, buy Inheritance

Turn two: A hand with 2 Coppers and two Estates (or 1 Copper and 3 Estates, depending on shuffle luck). If the Inherited card is something like Experiment, you could draw all 7 Coppers. Then use Borrow again, and now you have $8

That won't work because you still need a Tournament to get Followers.  If you inherit Tournament instead, then playing the Estates as Tournaments gets you $3 plus four coppers, and Borrow will get you to $8. 

ETA: Although, that still doesn't seem to work -- your Estates miss the shuffle and so after T2 your deck is just 3 coppers, and you draw only 4 for your next hand, so is it possible to get Estate + Province in hand simultaneously?

Investment trashes Lich, earns VP, and gets back the Investment you trashed last turn.

How about just adding a new end condition: if someone amasses 1000 VP tokens, the game is over?

Even more nuts than Collection + Stampede: Collection + Cavalry + Academy + Way of the Butterfly. 

Yes, this actually happened.

Cobbler allows you to see your next hand before choosing the card -- that's a pretty notable advantage.

Caravan Guard -> Way of the Mouse -> Ambassador threatens your opponent with gaining the card against their will.  Would that be enough to prevent anyone from playing an attack card?  And then you can eventually Ambassador the Curse back.

Ah.  Not Necromancer, though; only one of those can play a Voyage in the trash. 

I also now realize that there are probably tricks one can do if you trash a Voyage or return it via Way of the Horse and regain it.  So it's probably unbounded then...

Not counting your opponent skipping a turn via Lich, what is the theoretical maximum number of turns one can take in a row? 

I count 47 --

regular turn
Island Folk
Outpost (played during your regular turn)
KC on Voyage x 4 (played during your regular turn)
10 Royal Carriages on the Voyages
10 Crowns on 10 Scepters on the Voyages
Seize the Day
Fleet

Is this correct?

Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Tower listed as giving -1 VP

If you buy Band of Misfits in a kingdom with Family of Inventors, your opponent can screw you over by making BoM cheaper.

They can also nerf Remodel and its enhanced variants by making Gold/Platinum cheaper.

Another annoying anti-synergy is Courier + Herb Gatherer. You'd think Herb Gatherer can give Courier a maximum array of targets. But then you realize Courier starts with "Discard the top card of your deck". Yikes.

Courier is really good with League of Masons, though -- spend a favor to put the exact card you need into the discard, and Courier it. 

Suppose Remake is the trasher, you're a little bit behind in getting thin, and your opponent puts -1 on Duchess...

Are the favor tokens removed before scoring, or can the Family of Inventors cause more cards to cost 2 for Plateau Shepherds?  (I hope it's the latter, that would be pretty bonkers.)

Edit: Never mind, I forgot you can't have more than one Ally.  If you could, though...

Treasurer + Secret Cave + Capitalism can completely empty the Wish pile in one buy phase by trashing the lamp and recovering it from the trash over and over.

Rules Questions / Inheritance & Exiled Estates
« on: February 03, 2021, 07:09:05 pm »
I recently played a game on dominion.games where I bought Inheritance (placing token on Bounty Hunter).  I already had an Estate in exile when I bought Inheritance.  Later in the game, I bought another Estate but it did not ask me whether I wanted to un-exile the Estate.  Is this a rules quirk I'm unaware of, or just a bug?

If the castles pile is empty then those 8 victory cards are no longer in the supply.  Is it intended to be "in the supply at the beginning of the game"?

This is an oldie but I think it is neat for a promo. On the surface it is a more expensive Harem with variable Coin/VP values, so it will be immediately familiar. Strategically it plays different though, being perhaps most similar to Fairgrounds.

It's main downside is that due to the "modern" prevalence of engines, Province play (this does after all cost as much as Province, if there is just one further Treasure or Victory Kingdom card) is often the dominant strategy. A non-variable price, most likely $6, could be a necessary buff.



This is a cool card, but what is its cost if Castles are in the kingdom?

You could Kiln a Colony.  That's pretty cool. 

It's OK that a Traveller line isn't always a must-buy.  Not everything has to be Teacher/Champion.

Your opponent has 1 Province, 1 Duchy, 2 Estates, and 3 Tunnels for 17 points. 

You have one action remaining.  Play BV.  Play Develop on Haggler, gaining BV and Trader to deck (BV on top), Silver (from BV) to discard pile. 

You have one action remaining again.  Play BV, drawing BV.  Play BV, drawing Trader.  Now you have 3 actions. 

Play one Trader on Gold, gaining 6 Silvers.  There are now 9 silvers left in the supply. 

Play Embassy, drawing 5 Silvers.  Discard 3 Tunnels, gaining Gold but using Trader to replace the Gold with Silver.  There are now 6 Silvers left in the supply. 

Play the other Trader on the other Gold, gaining the remaining Silvers. 

You have 5 Silvers in your hand and two buys, which you use for Duchy and Tunnel.  BV, Tunnel, and Silver piles are empty and you have 1 Province, 1 Duchy, 5 Tunnels for 19 points.

Yet another (very minor) correction: I was wrong, playing WV does not get you an extra VP -- you can only buy 4 coppers since there are only 4 left in the supply!
