In a deck with only actions and treasures:
Worker's village is stricly better than farming village.
So is mining village.

Touche, all.
Worker's Village over Village would be a bit trickier, but the Possession scenario would probably persist.

For Strictly Better comparisons, Possession really is 9/10 of the law.

Pretty sure it's 90--93% of the law.

But the 3-pile rule is another universal edge case. For example, if there are 2 empty piles, no +Buy, more than 2 Colonies and more than 2 Provinces remaining, only 2 Curses left, and you have a 13-point lead, and you have a hand of Remodel and Colony, the optimal play is to Remodel a Colony into a Curse and buy the last Curse. In that case, Curse is superior to Colony.

Determinator
Action - Duration - $4
Now and at the start of your next turn: +1 Action
--
While any Determinators are in play, after you finish resolving an action, lose all your actions. If you did not lose any actions in this way, +1 action.

At that cost, it oughtn't say "may".

What I think of whenever I see Shanty Town:

Shantier Town Action
+2 Cards
Reveal your hand. If you have no Action cards in hand, +2 Actions.

Synergy with Diadem.

And pretty much any Throne room variant.

Weekdays - the card the community has been waiting for!
Action - $5
+1 Card, +1 Action
If it is Monday, +$2
If it is Tuesday, +1VP
If it is Wednesday, each other player discards down to 4 cards
If it is Thursday, +1 Card
If it is Friday, gain a card worth up to $4
If it is Saturday, +2 actions
If it is Sunday, you gain a Gold, and each other player gains a silver.

What an elegant solution to the so-called "endless games problem" posed by nonterminal VP-token cards! If you're playing on a Tuesday, the game is pretty much guaranteed to end by Friday! Brilliant!

Marcory · « **Reply #4063 on:** February 14, 2016, 11:18:28 pm »

When a game goes past midnight, Weekdays can change mid-game or even mid-turn. (I can just imagine taking a bathroom break at 11:55 so that your super-Ironworks will turn into super-Villages).

Even better, when playing a three-player game online with people from eastern Kiribati, Hawaii, and Europe, Weekdays could be three different cards in the same game.

Resurrection
cost $3 - Action - Duration
Now and at the start of your next turn: draw until you have 6 cards in hand.

It is not so attractive. Why?

This is the Really Bad Card Ideas thread, that's why.

Weekdays - the card the community has been waiting for!
Action - $5
+1 Card, +1 Action
If it is Monday, you can fall apart
If it is Tuesday or Wednesday, you can break my heart
If it is Thursday, don't even start
If it is Friday, I'm in love
If it is Saturday, wait
If it is Sunday, you've come too late

(with apologies to Co0kieL0rd and Asper, obviously)

FTFY

Fixed this for both of you. Do you feel Cure-d?
