I'm pretty sure it reverses the order of the Castle pile and all split piles, and conceals the identity of the top Knight.  Not sure what happens if you try to Buy Sir Martin and it ends up being someone else...

I'm afraid you made the game better, sorry.

Comic requested by Pyan.

You can put tokens on tokens now.  There are also Morning, Brunch, Naptime, and Brunch Night phases now.  It's easy, though - Morning, Brunch, Action, Naptime, Buy, Night, Cleanup - it's just MBANBNC.  New players have no trouble picking it up in playtests, so we're pretty happy with it.

Morning Joe
Morning
Cost: $2

+4 Actions


Business Meeting
Brunch/Action
Cost: $3

If this is your Brunch phase: +2 Cards.
If this is your Action phase: +1 Card, +1 Action.


Oversleep
Naptime
Cost: $3

Put any number of cards from your hand on top of your deck.  Skip your Buy phase this turn.


Sleepwalk
Naptime/Night
Cost: $4

If this is your Naptime phase, +2 Cards.  If this is your Night phase, +5 cards.

Through the Looking Glass:

Event: $0:

 You may reveal a hand containing at least 7 cards and no actions or treasures. If you did, flip the Reality token.
At the end of the game, after scoring, if the reality token is face-down, instead of deciding the winner as normal, the player with the lowest point total wins the game.

(Setup, place the Reality token on this card, face-up).

It's almost exactly Zombie Spy. The only difference I see is that Zombie Spy lets you (strictly, compels you to) look at the top card of your deck before choosing whether or not to discard it.

Band of Misfits, except made up of even MORE misfits than the other Band-of-misfits
$5                    Action
Play this as if it were one of the set aside cards on the BOMEMUOEMMTTOBOM mat. This is that card until it leaves play.
----
Setup: add 3 action cards not used in this kingdom, each costing $4, to the BOMEMUOEMMTTOBOM mat.


(I actually don't think this would be a horrible idea or anything, but it's still a funny one to me)

This is interesting if you win the Curse split.

In the spirit of the new Renaissance expansion, here is my dumb idea for what I'd do for the "Projects" stack and their respective tokens:

In general play:  Projects can be used during any game, even in games without Renaissance cards (think of them like Shelters or Platinum/Colony; they COULD be used, but they're better with cards from Renaissance).  There are, however, some Action cards/events which interact with Projects.  If you use those cards, you have to use Projects.

Projects Setup:
Shuffle the Projects Pile and place them face down.  Flip over the top card of the pile.  That is the first available project.

During your Buy Phase, you may choose to buy the top card of the Projects Pile.  Take that card and place it face-up in front of you, then flip over the next card in the Projects Pile.  The project starts at level 0.  You cannot upgrade a Project on the same turn that you gained it unless you have additional buys

All Projects have a cost associated to them, and can be upgraded by paying the same amount.  When you upgrade a Project, place a Project token on the Project card.  Upgrading a Project does cost you a Buy

Projects can be upgraded a total of 5 times.  Once a Project has reached the fifth upgrade (which will be referred to as "Level 5"), it can no longer be upgraded.

All players are limited to One Project at a time.  You cannot own a project and buy another one.

At any point during your turn, you may "discontinue" your Project.  If you choose to do this, you set aside all of the project tokens and put the Project face-up at the bottom of the Projects Pile.  You are then reimbursed a set amount of money equal to the cost of the project, times the number of project tokens and divided by two (rounded down)

For Example: Charles decides to discontinue his $2 Level 5 Project.  He puts the card at the bottom of the Projects pile and returns all 5 Project tokens to the supply.  He is reimbursed +5$ for doing so, but loses the benefits of the Project.

Here are a couple of the Project ideas that I had (Note: None of them have names because I couldn't think of any):

$2
For each level: +1 VP.  At the start of your Clean-Up Phase, you may trash a number of cards from your hand equal to the number of Project Tokens.

$3
Level 1: At the start of your turn, choose one: +2 Cards, +2 Actions, +1 Buy, +2$$, or gain a Silver to your hand (the choices must be different)
Level 2: At the start of your turn, choose two: +2 Cards, +2 Actions, +1 Buy, +2$$, or gain a Silver to your hand (the choices must be different)
Level 3: At the start of your turn, choose three: +2 Cards, +2 Actions, +1 Buy, +2$$, or gain a Silver to your hand (the choices must be different)
Level 4: At the start of your turn, choose four: +2 Cards, +2 Actions, +1 Buy, +2$$, or gain a Silver to your hand (the choices must be different)
Level 5: At the start of your turn, choose five: +2 Cards, +2 Actions, +1 Buy, +2$$, or gain a Silver to your hand (the choices must be different)

$4
While this Project is in play, all cards cost 1$ less, but not less than 0 (this affects all players)
Level 1 & 2: All cards cost 2$ less, but not less than 0 (The owner of the project only)
Level 3 & 4: All cards cost 3$ less, but not less than 0 (The owner only)
Level 5: All cards cost 4$ less, but not less than 0 (The owner only)
While this is in play, when you buy or gain a Victory Card, remove one Project Token.  If there are no Project tokens to remove, then put this card at the bottom of the Project Pile.  (The owner does NOT get reimbursed for this)

6$
At the start of your turn:
Level 1 & 2: Gain a Silver.  You may discard a card to put the Silver into your hand
Level 3 & 4: Gain a Gold.  You may discard a card to put the Gold into your hand
Level 5: Gain a Gold to your hand (no need to discard anything)


There's also an Attack card that I came up that relates to Projects:

Sabotage
$6
Action-Attack-Duration
Remove one Project Token from each other players' Projects.  +$ equal to the total taken (i.e. take one from the $2 Project and get +2$, etc).  Set this card aside.  While this card is in play, no Projects may be upgraded, and subsequent Sabotages do nothing.  (This is an anti-spam method)

Edit: Did a bit of tweaking.

Pretty far from a true RBCI overall.

But gaining Copper isn't that great, even into your hand.  Maybe still bad with strong trashing, but definitely bad without it.
