I may have done the calculations wrong, but it's to get you all the coins you need to afford the Travelling Fair and double Gear on one turn, and probably also have a chance of getting the coins for the third gear on the other turn but I never actually checked my reasoning.

But your opponent buying Port is independent of anything you do.  It doesn't affect you at all.  Did you mean Lost City?

open triple Gear

Seems legit.

Ball/Alms. Or Travelling Fair/Borrow/Baker/opponent opens Port.

Wait why do they open port?

Just caught this post. Opening Port is actually far better than it looks - much better than opening Village for sure. That's because not losing the Port split is super important. If you lose the Port split, you only have 4 Villages and your opponent has 8 - so you barely have enough terminal space to do anything while they can build a solid engine. Racing to drain the Port pile is not all that uncommon. It's like the Fool's Gold of Villages in a way.

It's by no means a sure thing to open Port by any means, but you want to buy it more aggressively than most Villages. More on this exciting topic once we finally get to P. Any bets on whether or not Adventures will be out online before then?

I thought the point of the question was, "how does the opponent opening Port matter in gaining 3 Gears in the first two turns?"

This is what I was referring to

Inheriting gear does effectively the same thing except you have three less stop cards in your deck.

Yes, yes I did. I still haven't played a game with either, which is probably why I've confused them in my mind as they both kind of fall under "Adventures Villages".

Since when has the Lets discuss Adventures cards: gear thread became the really bad card Ideas thread?

I dunno, that seems like a reasonable premise. Maybe only find one card, and make it a treasure worth $1 for $5? And just play the treasure it finds.

I think it should be Adventurous Villager.

Was looking at some old Adventures threads and stumbled on this:

The more I think about Gear, the more I'm convinced that it's going to be one of the stronger $3 cards.  I think the most relevant comparison is actually Courtyard, not Haven.  Courtyard lets you look at more, but Gear can match it for final hand size if you don't set aside any cards.  Also note that if you set aside 0, Gear gets discarded right away.  If you do set aside a card, your next turn is better than it would be with Courtyard because it's a Haven effect, not a topdeck.  Moreover, you can set aside a second card if you wish.  Consider that if you set aside 2 cards, your next turn is comparable to a Wharf turn!

I'm glad I was on the right side of history on that one.

Gear/Potion is fantastic at hitting $3P. It's also great to set cards aside to trash with Ratcatcher/Transmogrify/Amulet. This is particularly valuable for Ratcatcher, which you'll often want to use to trash all of your Coppers/Estates, but since you need them in your starting hand that gets progressively tougher as the game goes on.

I just realized the card name is gear as in stuff instead of gear as in cog

It's named "Gear" because "Supply" is a key word in Dominion. Otherwise it would likely be named "Supplies". No joke.

+1 for UHF reference.
