Hermit? It gets worse and worse as the game goes on, unless you buy Market Squares.

Feodum. It gets better (more vp), only if you buy Silver, and Trashing it can be a hard decision at times.
Edit: whoops, this has already been posted. Sorry for having you chase my posts! Nevertheless, he didn't provide explanation ;)

Okay you guys are good.  Or my riddles are easy.  I'm thinking its the former  :)

Here's another one because I am bored at work.


Market Square is my nemesis

I hope potion is on the board

Estate. fml

Swindler

Not saying first and last don't match, i'm pretty sure you got it - but aren't Potions often bad for Swindler? If you trash a Potion card with it, you won't be able to chose something else for it and give the hit person the same card again. Unless they run out, of course.

hitting potion cards with swindler is often not bad, because you effectively discard it. hitting a 4$ and giving him a potion for it is often knight+witch, which is huge. and hitting a potion card after the pile is empty is huge too.

so, all in all, potion makes swindler stronger on average, no doubt.

Turning $4s into Potions is pretty good.

Allright:

When you play me, you have one card less in your hand. You have an unchanged number in your deck.
When you play me, you have one card less in your hand. Or the same number. You have an unchanged number in your deck. Or one more. Or one less.
When you play me, you have one card less in your hand. And one less in your deck.
When you play me, you have one card less in your hand. Or the same number. Or more. You have an unchanged number in your deck. Or one less. Or less.

It is not clear whether "deck" means "draw deck" or "all cards collection".

Per soulnet's question, I am assuming you mean draw deck, and there must be sufficient cards to prevent a shuffle.
I came up with multiple answers for all but one, so that might mean I got it wrong.


Candlestick Maker, Lighthouse, Ruined Village, Necropolis, Dame Anna, University
Tournament
Haven, Oasis
Scout, Crossroads

Edit: removed Upgrade/Junk Dealer from the third answer because of on trash effects.

You got it right. It wasn't restricted to one correct answer per card. Though i didn't think of Dame Anna.

Also, deck meant "All cards collection". Umm... That was part of the riddle, of course.  :P

The first question has a very large number of answers. Fishing Village, Squire, Dame Molly, etc.

You are right, that's too easy.
The one i actually thought of did neither produce money or nor was it a Village (in name or action).

Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Royal Seal, Quarry and a lot of other Treasure cards also fit question 1.

(1) I usually make Upgrades a lot worse.  What am I?

(2) Having all 10 of me in your hand at once will give you, guaranteed, at least $55 in coins.  What am I?

(3) I can require a potion to be in supply, even though there are no cards with potions in their cost in the supply.  What am I?

Correct!  I guess there are other cards that make Upgrades worse (Swindler, Golem?, Possession?, etc.), but I was thinking Poor House.

(1) You have enough coins to buy a Colony, you have a potion in play, >= 1 buy, and no coppers in play.  I am in the supply, but you cannot buy me.  What card am I?

(2) You process me with Procession, to play me twice.  There are no reaction cards played this turn, or other on-trash effects (so no Fortress), or anything else in play.  Basically, you have no other action cards in your hand after you play me the 2 times, and there are no weird shenanigans going on (Possession, etc.).  You gain your other action card from the Procession.  But you don't trash me, and at the end of the game, I'm still in your deck.  What card am I?  (Hint: this may be a Goko-bug -- not sure what is actually supposed to happen here.)

(3) You Thrown Room/King's Court me, you don't trash me, but you cannot actually play me more than once this turn (unless you have another one of me -- you could play that one).  What card am I?

--> As always, there are probably multiple possible answers for each of these.  I did my best to limit the possibilities to 1 card each :)

Have no idea on 1 or 2, haven't seen all the cards, but for 3 I would guess

1) You could be either a Knight or a Ruin.

2) I'm guessing Goko bug.

3) I may be missing something, but I don't think there is any action card that can't be played more than once. There are plenty of cards where the second play would have no effect (e.g. Watchtower, Prince, Outpost, Tactician).
