So certain cards go well together, not because they actually make a good strategy together, but because of their names.  For examples, we have Wine Merchant/Vineyard, Teacher/University, and of course Ratcatcher/Rats.  Can anyone think of any others?

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

pacovf has a neopets account.  It has 999 hours logged.  All his neopets are named "Jessica".  I guess that must be his ex.

Someone mentioned in another thread that Inheritance/Estate are (deliberately?) thematic names because an estate is something you inherit.
Although that is really an entirely different definition of the word estate.

Alchemists and herbalists work with potions. Laboratories and alchemists do the same thing, more less.

This is actually why I suggested the name "Trade" for the card  ;D


I've always enjoyed the interaction between Butcher and Peddler.

This is why I'm sad there's no "Dark Lord" card or the like.

Sadly, the next treasure is Platinum rather than Roentgenium.
