just playtested it very quickly. quite fun to use, though i can't try it with other Dominion expansions other than original and Intrigue. i was thinking of reducing it to $5 as well but having looked up Band of Misfits, i'm partial to keeping it at $6. Misfits gets to play a $4 card which is better but seems overall less versatile than Conform, and you don't get to keep the card you play.
I try not to pick nits, but it probably should say "-$1 per Diamond in the supply, to a minimum of 0. Return this card to the supply."
Otherwise, with 9 Diamonds in supply, the Diamond is worth -$3. Can I buy a Copper with -$3?
Anyone else having the adventures very inconsistently load for them? Now that the difficulty is to "normal dominion" mostly, sometimes I play the AI when I think I may be interrupted, and I figure I might as well grind out those VPs.
But usually when I go to start an adventure game, after the kingdom/starting deck screen I hit "start", the screen blacks out, and it just sits there.
Anyone have a fix for this?
Devices are HTML-5 ready goko has just decided to do somethings that mobiles don't support. And well if your having performance issues on your pc think about how your weaker smartphone would feel.
I am pretty disappointed that
1. can only run on a computer
2. but with resolution stuck at 1024*768. I cannot even make it full screen in a browser window...
So, html5 and cross platform is just a huge hype and doesn't really mean a thing, right?
Yeah, I think you're right. The cases where you can trash more than one card with Broker(s) in play are rare and you can probably do it only a few times per game. Maybe it could be a hard work to count and remember all coins after playing Loans and Counterfeits. Only in an RL-Game of course. But that's sadly the only way to play all the good cards from this forum.
When DON'T you trash cards with an action card? Or are you specifically trying to rule out Counterfeit and Farmland?
I think this card needs a little something extra for when there's no trashing available.And because of that I thought the card needs the trash function for itself (similar to graverobber and many other cards). I wouldn't never buy that card for 5 if there is no trasher available and if there's a trasher then the filter-bonus is of little use anyway. But that's not too bad.
But isn't a start with chapel not a bit too strong and also swingy? What about Forge or Count? I really would limit it to max +$1 or +$2 per trashing.
Broker
Types: Action
Cost: $5
+1 Action. +$2. Look at the top card of your deck; discard it or put it back.
While this is in play, when you trash a card, +$1.
It's also good to remember that Gold+Estate isn't always worse than Silver+Silver. If you have good sifting, I think the Gold is preferable.
Nice card!
I have a suggestion to make it self-supporting:QuoteBrokerDon't know exactly if the wording is precisely enough. First it should be a slow trasher which is at least not terminal. Often very useful. Then every time you trash cards (the number of trashed card doesn't matter to limit the effect) with an action card (also this Broker) or another card you'll get one coin. It is also stackable what makes it strong, maybe it should cost 5, too. In this version you won't get the coins with a Loan for example but that would make the playing and counting easier.

...What do you call this card?!
Oh, I somehow didn't saw that clause. Maybe you should let it out because this is what makes the card more interesting.
But now it seems pretty weak. Maybe if you add: "You might gain a card costing up to $3" or "You might gain a Silver".
One feature to be aware of, while playtesting, is that you can with little opportunity cost trash province and gain province, thus speeding the game when you are ahead. Ok you can do it even with the first version, but the opportunity cost seems much higher; and also there are other cards that allow this (Salvager, Remodel) but those are terminals.
I agree with Bron on some level but it can be pretty powerful. Open 5/2 with Exchange/nothing and hope to draw it again in a hand with 3 Estates in Turn 3. You can trash now all 3 Estates and one Copper becomes a Silver which you can even use for a $2 cost card. And it can pretty handy otherwise, especially with on trash effects. A hand of Exchange+Fortress could empty the Exchange pile.
Exchange
Types: Action
Cost: $5
+1 Action. Trash this. Trash 2 cards from your hand. For each trashed card, gain a card costing up to $2 more than it, putting the gained cards into your hand.
Exchange
Types: Action
Cost: $5
+1 Action. Trash this. Trash a card from your hand and gain a card costing up to $3 more than the it that is not an Exchange, putting the gained card into your hand.
I feel that the IGG Duchy rush is an unintended consequence of emptying two piles at once.
I mean, I dunno... the on-gain curser didn't have to be a Copper-like treasure.
