Trashing estates on a Inheritance board
« on: April 21, 2015, 09:48:48 am »

I played a game the other day with Intrigue cards plus Inheritance. My general plan was: steward for trashing, minions, inheritance on conspirator, something else for +buy. Once I got all that set up, it was great. The problem is that it took forever to get it going because of all my starting estates clogging everything up. Should I have trashed the estates initially even though I really wanted them once I got my inheritance?

How often do you guys think it will be viable to save estates for the inheritance vs needing to trash them early. Obviously some cards like baron make it way easier to just keep the initial estates.

I think it's better to trash them, at least some of them.  Unless you spike an early $7 by luck, you probably need to trash stuff to get there.  With your +Buy, you should be able to afford Estate + Estate/other card and rack them back up fairly quickly.

That's what I'm thinking. As awesome as it is to suddenly have three free +1vp conspirators, it's just really hard to get to that point. Maybe a lack of +buy would influence that decision (or something like baron that uses the estates or death cart that can spike you to 7 early).

I guess I just need more games to get a feel for it. Does anyone else with more experience want to weigh in?

I think you wouldn't want to buy Develop just so you could trash your starting estates on an Inheritance board, but if you're going to get a trasher anyway it's probably not worth it to target copper instead of estate when you trash.

If you have no other path to $7 then sure, trash them.

Does Inheritance weaken Ambassador?

Not unless someone gets really lucky. Or we specifically stack the game for Inheritance by putting in like Baron and some good $3-4 cantrip.

Depending on how MakingFun designs the interface for Inheritance it's going to be really hard for me to not instinctively discard my estates in that scenario.

I'm really looking forward to Green/Orange/Blue Estate Guards.

Yeah, Reactions are what puts the kibosh on changing the border color, I think. Although they could just be White/Green or Orange/Green on Making Fun; it prompts you when you can use them anyway.

So when I made this post last week, I didn't realize that people hadn't received their copies of Adventures yet (I was just playing with an Inheritance event that I wrote on a piece of paper). Now that people have actually played Adventures out in the wild, what are your thoughts about trashing your initial estates when Inheritance is available?
