Quantum Statistics
Landmark
All cards with odd coin cost are Fermions; all cards with even cost are Bosons.
When you get more than one identical Fermions in hand, immediately discard all of them but one.
When you get more than one identical Bosons in hand, they all count as one card for all card counting purposes.

There's a reason truly educational games don't catch on.

Relativity
Project
Cost: <8>

Your Velocity is how many cards you have in play not from previous turns plus the number of your cards on your Relativity mat.

At the start of your turn, +2 Actions.

Whenever your Velocity exceeds 5 times the number of cards you have on this mat and you still have at least one Action (you may use a Villager for this):
Put the top card of your deck on the mat
-1 Action
+1 VP
Put one more card on the mat for every ten points of Velocity.

At the end of your turn, put the mat cards into your discard pile.

Way too weak for the price - $1P is significantly more expensive than $3.
I would add a clause "When you buy this, you may gain up to two copies of this"

It's all part of my cunning plan to get out of balancing a card by posting it in RBCI.

Doesn't work, everyone knows that non-Dominion deckbuilding games have a silly rotating supply.

It still works, you just have to buy 10 copies of the other game to get the 10 copies of the card.

If we're going down that route...

Rejig
Action

Trash a card from your hand. Gain a Dominion card that is not in the supply, the name of which is a substring of the trashed card's name.


So you can turn a Ruined Library into a Library, but also a Bridge Troll into a Bridge, Horse Traders into a Trader, etc. (-8<

My guess at a Menagerie card:

Cat
Action - Attack - $3
+1 Card
+1 Action
You may slowly push each other player's deck off the table while looking them directly in the eyes.
