Snake Oil - $5
Treasure - Night
$2
If your Journey token is face down (it starts face up) or it's your Night phase, you may turn it over for +1 Buy and +$2.
This is a really difficult competition. I am going with a design that I am not sure is appealing, let alone balanced.
Similar to Stockpile or Fools Gold, this has a conditionally greater value than expected. However unlike the examples, getting multiple copies of it does not produce a huge payload. It may be a bit weak as it currently is, but was told it looked busted if it produced more or was cheaper. Feedback is appreciated.
Edit: Changed wording to be more clear. Changed price to $3, may still be a bit weak.
Edit2: Changed per the suggestion of LibraryAdventurer.
Edit3: A complete rework on the layout. Looks much more presentable. Thanks goes to LibraryAdventurer, once again.
Edit4: Changed the intent of the card. Not gonna compete with Fools Gold as a cheap conditional treasure. Now it acts more like a Silver you can save for later use alongside another Snake Oil. It costs $5 now to prevent it being an easy early game pick up to accelerate you. Could still feel weak, but now should feel more enjoyable to use.
