I'm pretty sure Chapel, several Gold, and a couple of Warehouses would be much faster, but less fun than putting together a Goons engine.Quite possibly, but not necessarily better. The point of Goons engines is - among other things - to slow your opponents down by reducing them to three-card hands. This means they don't have to build up as quickly to be effective.
What about a new type of cards that cannot be trashed?They have the potential to cause all kinds of rules problems (such as when an Upgrade compels you to trash them).
MiserAnd if it's in a 10-card setup with a +Action/+Buy card or any combo that gives that, it's grotesquely overpowered. Nice work.
$2 - Action
+$4, -1 Buy
I'm not sure it's that bad of an idea, but it is kind of silly: Particularly because of how it's purely combo dependent and useless by itself. If it's in a 10-card setup without any +1 Buy's, it's wasting space.
I'm not really sure how to word that last part as it is a "new" feature. However, I think the meaning gets across. I've always wanted a more "aggressive" reaction card, but it needed to be balanced so that people would still want to play attack cards. This, like most reaction cards, works better against some attacks compared to others. Reflecting a Witch to give him a curse is nice, reflecting a Thief so he trashes his own treasure just to gain it back, not so much.Donald X's notes on why this type of Reaction is not a good idea.
Roshambo $5This could be a lot of fun in a game with Tournament and/or Black Market.
Action
+2 cards
You and the player to your left each secretly choose a card from the hand, then reveal them simultaneously. If you both reveal the same type of card, nothing happens. Otherwise, if you reveal...
a Treasure card, gain a Gold.
a Victory card, gain a Duchy.
an Action card, gain a Roshambo.
Could someone give a brief clarification on how throne rooming a throne room works. I thought I had a good understanding of it. But something I read recently confused me. So, I need a different description.Throning a Throne Room means you play it twice. Which in turn means that you pick an action card from your hand and play it twice, and then pick another action card from your hand and play that twice.
Don't 4 piles need to be empty to end a 4 player game on piles?No; that's the rule for a 5-player game.
Lowering the number of Outposts in your hand to 1 in order to play Menagerie for +3 Cards.Mind you, there are at least three good reasons to play Outpost on an Outpost turn.
The only reason I can think of is to get rid of a card for a forthcoming Library/Watchtower play. What are the others?
Silver's not strictly better than it: there are situations where you can draw this card live where Silver would be dead - hands with Tactician in, for example.A +1 Action, +2 Coin card is essentially Silver-As-An-Action.
Apart from it's possible to draw it dead. Therefore Silver is strictly better than it and so it should be costed at $2. But then in most cases it's just a cheap Silver. That's why such a vanilla card is not 'possible'.
Watchtower and Talisman can lead to some quick finishes as wellI've seen the Gold pile empty. (In a game with Hoard and Mine, naturally.)
And Hoard is nice if you ever wanted to see the Gold pile empty
I have an idea for a card:Hmmm. This card + Great Hall = Bazaar + Laboratory, which suggests $7 might be the appropriate cost.
(No Name Yet)
$6-7
Action
+ 2 cards, + 2 actions, + $1, and worth -1vp
Still not sure about the cost, haven't tested it yet
You do. (It's the old "follow the card text in order" thing).Possibly Transmute. That's quite good with hybrid cards.I've never tried it, do you get two cards back?
Harem
Nobles
Great Hall
Island
Scout
Tribute
Ironworks
Mint
and two others I that I can't think of right now
Bascially it's the let's abuse hybrid cards set. Which two am I missing?
This is indeed the case, and is a very good reason why you don't track the extra turns.It does, and for the same reason: you're not getting an extra turn through luck of the seating, you're getting one because you bought a card to get you extra turns.
Actually with possession you're getting an extra turn because your opponent bought a card to give (ok force you into) you that extra turn.
