Bonus points if you can name the game that this idea was taken from.

I'm guessing you didn't playtest this at all.

Not sure if you're just making a reference I don't get or if you don't know what thread this is.

The game which is the inspiration for the RBCI.

Not sure if you're just making a reference I don't get or if you don't know what thread this is.

The former. The game I got the idea from is called "We didn't playtest this at all". I wouldn't expect everyone to know it, but if you don't, it's a great game if you're in the mood for a laugh with some friends.

"still in the game"? how would anybody not be still in the game

[hhelibebcnofnena]

"still in the game"? how would anybody not be still in the game

I took the wording from similar cards in the game "We Didn't Playtest This At All", in which players can get eliminated (and usually for very silly reasons like forgetting to say "Ah! Zombies!" before playing a card while the Zombies card is out). It doesn't happen in Dominion (obviously), but that's why it's an RBCI, and not an SCI (serious card idea).

Side note: would you say "an RBCI" because R is pronounced with a vowel sound at the beginning, or would you say "a RBCI" because 'really' has a consonant sound at the beginning?

I would say, an arrrr-be-see-eye.

That depends on whether you say "really" or "R". Of course, you can also pronounce rbci as a single syllable, in which case it also has a consonant sound.

I think you generally base it on pronounciation. An hommage. A unit.

There needs to be a Possession protection clause. Otherwise this card is illegal (according governmental laws, I mean, not according to Dominion rules. This is perfectly fine by Dominion rules.) Other than that, the only other problem I see (if you want to call it a problem, but it's an RBCI so you don't have to) is that the + and +1 Buy not being in the 'if you did' clause makes Win on Turn 1 solutions much easier.

You mean Travelling Fair? Also, you don't have to cut off your hands to get the + and +1 Buy, the only thing cutting your hand off does is it allows you to remove your Project token and draw up to 6 cards.

You have to Buy the event each time though.  So you need Traveling Fair to end on Turn 1.

True. It still makes the solution easier though, needing only two events as opposed to a whole kingdom, and shuffle luck on opening doesn't play a role anymore. I still think there needs to be a Possession protection clause... although I suppose if someone possesses you you can resign if you really care about your hands.

[Minotaur]

It may be the truest RBCI thus far and no upvotes.  Balance tweaks are fine, but accomodations for personal safety are conterproductive.

Does moving your cards to your other hand make other cards lose track of them? Do the +2 Cards go to your first hand or your other hand? Can you play this from either hand or just one of them? If just one of them, which hand?

[hhelibebcnofnena]

No Cheating
Project - Reaction -
When any other player reveals any cards, you may make them give those cards to you for inspection to make sure you don't miss any. You must give them back afterwards to let them finish resolving the effect. These cards are not technically moved to your hand; nothing can lose track of the these cards via this effect.

This does not combo with Amputate, but you can still lend another hand.
