Dominion sonnets!
« on: December 02, 2011, 02:12:08 pm »

There is a game that I enjoy to play,
With cards I build my deck up over time.
It's so much fun that I could go all day,
And buy each set with each and ev'ry dime.

When first I played, the actions seemed the best;
To Village, Village, Village was so fun.
But soon I learned there was a Silver test,
And money helps to make the Province run!

A Sea Hag seems just right on this here board,
To give out curses should be mighty great!
And now I think that I shall buy a Hoard,
So that I'll have a Gold with each Estate.

With 8 most turns my vict'ry seems a breeze,
Oh crap! My foe has seven Colonies!

Hmm, what's next, Dominion Proverbs?

A Lighthouse a day keeps the Cursers away?

Dominion Pslams?

How magnificent are your Chapels, oh Dominion. They remove the curses from the deck, allow all the best cards to be played more. Do not forsake me with your Lookouts.

Everybody knows you only play with Potions 'round.
I think you only live to Chapel your deck down.
I wasted time when Silver I would buy, buy, buy.
When your Coppers all are trashed, you're gonna Scry, Scry, Scry.

Soon the Conspirators - they will all be gone.
I'll be lucky to grab even a single Pawn.
The few Duchies I gained - they just won't fly, fly, fly.
'Cause whenever it's your turn, you're gonna Scry, Scry, Scry.

You're gonna Scry, Scry, Scry and you'll Scry alone,
When everyone's resigned and you're playin' on your own.
You're gonna Scry, Scry, Scry.

I lie awake at night, think how to beat your game
With those Pools on the board, it always ends the same
I've an awful time just even tryin' to tie, tie, tie
Can't beat the action chains when you go Scry, Scry, Scry.

Till one fine day I tested out a different tack,
And bought myself near the whole damn Familiar stack.
You started spewin' Curses worse'n "fie, fie, fie" -
'Cause you're only seein' purple when you Scry, Scry, Scry!

You're gonna Scry, Scry, Scry, but it won't do no good;
Shoulda switched to Big Money back when you still could,
Instead of Scry, Scry, Scry.

To bring this topic up from the grave...

Transmute has an awkward cost,
Chancellor's affect is really lame.
Scout? But thats a horrible card!
This kingdom has the makings of a boring game.

Of course, we have the useless Duchess
Moat without a single attack.
Also attackless is Secret Chamber
Oh, wait! Here's Thief! I take that back.

And Fortune Teller to help our opponents
And Cache to fill our decks with trash.
And Herbalist to top-deck all our coppers
And even more terminals waiting to clash.

So what do I do, a Duchess/Duchy deck?
This kingdom does look awfully funny.
I'm tired of this, so what the heck
I think I'll just go straight up big money.

I love Dominion, but I draw the line at writing poetry for it!
And why is that?

There was an expansion, the number seven
The one that came out in 2011.
The expansion that's a beautiful bright green,
And the finest cards that ever were seen.

O Hinterlands! Your Highways fair!
Your Noble Brigand, so debonair!
Border Village is expensive, lets be frank,
But it can backdoor into your Mountebank!

And although its illegal your Ill-Gotten Gains,
Provides your opponents with curses like rain.
And although it doesn't give you friendly smiles,
It really helps you to end on piles.

O Hinterlands! Your Jack of all Trades
Your reputation never fades,
You will destroy every attack
If you simply go double Jack.

Bravo.  Excellent iambic pentameter!  I just finished teaching sonnets to my freshmen.  I guess I'll have to jump in!

Trash Talk: A Dominion Insult Sonnet

That Saboteur will never hit my gold
That Shanty Town won't give you any lube
Your early lucky Province made you bold
Why do you play these cards you hapless n00b?

I'll King's Court > King's Court > Goons > Goons > Masquerade
Your hand is gone and so too is your deck
The trash is now your kingdom's glory slayed
To pay me for this lesson, write a check

Go back to playing Settlers of Catan
Or maybe you should just stick with Go Fish
I'll tell you of my next Dominion plan:
To star you in a promo card called "Bitch" (gain 10 curses)

I haven't lost to you since god knows when
C'mon, I'm kidding...wanna play again?
