Dominion Articles / Re: Kings court
« on: June 30, 2017, 05:49:26 pm »Newby here. Playing Kings Court: I just played a 2 player game where I had multiple Kings Courts and Markets (due to quarries). I Kings Courted a Kings Court. Played a Market. Took 3 cards, played a third Kings Court. My husband gave up at that point and let me try to figure it out on my own. How does this play out?KC1 played...
...plays KC2 three times
First play of KC2 plays Market, drawing 3 cards and getting +3 Actions, +3 Buys and +3 Coins.
Second play of KC2 plays KC3 three times.
You first resolve the three plays of KC3 - playing three actions three times each - and then resolve the third play of KC2.

My guess would be that Miser isn't a great addition to a Gardens rush or Gardens slog, but Gardens might be good alt-VP for an engine built with Miser as its trashing/economy card.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Comparing power cards
« on: June 08, 2017, 12:13:17 pm »I did explicitly say "for deck drawing purposes" when talking about the pitfall of Bandit Camp. I'm not sure I would call it a mistake to strongly emphasize the importance of deck-drawing engines. They aren't just a little bit better than engines that only draw some of your deck. They're exponentially better. In fact, some players would say that if you're playing a bunch of actions but not drawing deck, it's not really an engine.Not sure I'd go with exponentially. Quadratically, possibly.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Taking Notes - Against the Rules?
« on: May 27, 2017, 11:40:13 am »
I usually view taking notes during a board game as a "competition-level" rule rather than a "game-level" rule. (Of course, I'm coming at this from chess, where there are loads of competition-level rules, none of which you need to know if you're just playing a friendly game.)

Dominion General Discussion / Re: the possession errata is the worst thing to happen to dominion in ages
« on: May 26, 2017, 09:22:55 am »"The player to your left takes an extra turn after this one, in which you can see all cards they can and make all decisions for them. They can't trash cards on that turn, and any cards or tokens they would gain, you gain instead."Needs some clarification as to what cards like Lookout do when they get played in that situation, but could work.
…with the understanding that "can't" always trumps "do". That should leave room for a "If this is the first time you played Possession this turn" clause.

« on: May 11, 2017, 07:17:35 am »
Bob would first take a 3-card Outpost turn, as part of the resolution of the Outpost played while he was being Possessed. That concludes the effects of the Possession turn; it then moves on to Bob's normal turn.

Dominion Articles / Re: Refreshing the Dominion Paradigms
« on: April 28, 2017, 05:42:12 pm »This is just begging for some edge-case discussion, though.
Hermit/Market Square draws itself for one turn, followed by big money.
Native Village/Bridge doesn't draw itself, until the last turn.
Oh, and there was that one in the Game Reports forum where someone alternated between drawing deck, playing 3 goons and buying lots of copper, and the next turn buying Donate to trash all the copper.
Awaclus, I'm curious what your take is. Am I wrong to think of these as "hybrid" strategies? Are they actually either BM or Engine? Or maybe rushes or slogs or whatever? Or are they another category that we don't need to talk about because they're rarely any good?
They're combo decks. They rely on the specific interactions between the cards that make them up.

Game Reports / Three-pile out of nowhere
« on: March 26, 2017, 05:12:03 pm »
Governor and Border Village can both lead to games with strange three-piles. Here's one with both, where I gain four Border Village/Torturer pairs in the last turn.
Kingdom: Border Village, Torturer, Governor, Replace, Envoy, Cutpurse, Smugglers, Oasis, Fool's Gold and some other card that impacted not at all.
