Hello folks, I'm new here and recently became a huge fan of dominion. I was planning on registering in the forum anyway, and now I come here with a specific question. I could not find an answer in the rulebooks, the wiki nor the forum...

If a Swindler hits a 0*-cost card like Spoils, Madman or Mercenary, a) does the card go into the trash or back in its pile outside the supply, and b) does the attacking player get to choose a 0-cost card for the victim to gain or does the victim gain nothing because the trashed card's cost does not equal 0?

Best regards!

The card goes in the trash, you give them a 0 cost card from the Supply.

The asterisk doesn't change the cost of the card, it just indicates that there's something otherwise funky about when you are allowed to gain the card (or in Peddler's case, the price change thing).

The card goes in the trash, and your opponent gives you a zero cost card from the supply. Functionally, you can swindle Mercenary/Prizes/Spoils into Curses.

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you! That's what I was hoping although I didn't expect it. It makes Swindler in games with Ruins and Spoils more powerful. Which is fine by me, because I like Swindler a lot

This clearly isn't always the case. I've played a lot and I like Swindler fine.

Yeah, it's the case only when your opponent plays a Swindler. When you play a Swindler, it's usually fine.

Unless you hit Estates over and over.  Then the card sucks.

Just to make sure you know, ruins are in the supply and don't have an asterisk next to their cost.

Right, so that was out of question.

I've played with Swindler quite often and of course it's usually annoying to get hit by it. But I have the pleasure to return the favor, so it's fine with me^^

Edge case.  Edge case to the edge case. Inside joke.  Have you tried the forum games?
