Split pile- one Angel of Death and as many Lamb's Blood as there are players.

Angel of death
Action - 12$
All players (including you) may discard a Lamb's Blood from their tavern mat. Those who don't reveal their hand, deck and discard pile; trash the victory cards. Trash this.

Lambs Blood
Action-Reserve - 5$
Put this onto your tavern mat.

I think it's just the most valuable Victory card, if I've got my lore right here.
You are correct. It was only the firstborn of the Egyptian families that was killed.

Counting House is the best card in the game. Change my mind.

Yeah, i know, just didn't know how to phrase it, while still being severe enough to ruin a game. Maybe like this?

Angel of death

All players (including you) may discard a Lamb's Blood from their tavern mat. Those who don't reveal their hand, deck and discard pile; trash the Firstborn Son card. Trash this.
Heirloom: Firstborn Son

Lambs Blood
Action-Reserve - 5$
Put this onto your tavern mat.

Firstborn Son
Heirloom-Treasure-Victory 0$
+2$
+1 Buy
This turn, when you gain a victory card, put it on your Son's Inheritance mat.
--------------------------
Worth 6 VP and as many VP as the cards on your Son's Inheritance mat
--------------------------
When you trash or exile this, discard all cards on your Son's Inheritance mat.

Seems like you might just choose not to risk playing Firstborn Son ever.  Or if the blood is that much cheaper than the angel, then everyone just rushes a blood or two and no one ever gets the angel.  There's also the problem that the person who bought a blood gets the same outcome as the person who bought a blood and an angel, but they got to spend $12 on a Colony or whatever.

But I think I'm trying to hard to balance an RBCI?  At the very least, I think the Angel should come with a free Blood to offset the three-player issue.

Just for clarification, noone can buy Lambs Blood before the Angel of Death is bought off the top of the split pile.
By the way, having your kids as heirlooms is probably not a sign of healthy family relations.

Oops

Fixed version:


I wanted to say 2 or more to be more evil, but in 5-6 player games you need to empty 4 piles; and only coppers, estates, and curses would be guaranteed to be possible.

I mean, it's RBCI.  There are literal murder-suicide RBCIs so Jumanji scenarios are pretty tame relatively.

I once tried starting a game with no cards, just starting by buying coppers. Bought a chapel round 3.

Ascended Village - $3
Action
+1 Card
+2 Actions
------------
Setup: After choosing kingdom piles, shuffle them all together into a single face-down kingdom deck, then put the top 5 cards of that deck face-up into a line-up. Whenever a card leaves the line-up, replace it with the next card in the kingdom deck. If a card would return to a kingdom pile, instead shuffle it into the kingdom deck. Treat the kingdom deck as a single pile and the line-up as not a pile for the 3-pile game-ending condition. If the kingdom deck runs out of cards, the game ends at the end of that turn.

Question:  Are the victory and Treasure base cards shuffled in as well?

Question:  Are the victory and Treasure base cards shuffled in as well?

Official language is that "kingdom" is all the cards except for the base cards (Estate/Duchy/Province/Copper/Silver/Gold/Curse).  (The wiki seems a little bit non-commital about Platinum/Colony/Potion, but seems to think they are also base cards)

So maybe there's a clearer explanation than the one in the wiki right now, but Gold/Silver would not be shuffled in with this wording, but Royal Seal would be.

Edareuqsam - Action - $3
You may gain a card to your hand from the trash.
Each player sets aside a card from their hand.
At once, each player passes their hand to the player on their right, then returns the set aside card to their hand.
Discard two cards.

I feel as though backwards is a great new mechanic for very bad cards. Here's another:
Fieht - Action - Attack - $4
Reveal the top cards of your discard equal to the number of players. Each other player gains a revealed treasure that you choose onto their deck,
going to the right. Then, each other player puts the top card of their discard onto their deck, or the top two if they did not gain any treasures.

Burning Chapel
Action-Burning
Cost: $2

If inflamed, trash 12 cards from your hand.

(A Burning card is Inflamed if you have played at least four Burning cards this turn)

Jeremy had gone to scout for trashing in the kingdom.  When he came back, the first thing he said was, "Do you want the good news first or the bad news?"

That gives me an idea which might not be really bad:
Crone

+2 Cards
Each other player gains your choice of the cheapest cards in the Trash.
