Just something I was thinking about recently, when you play a contraband, can your opponent keep you from buying an event? I believe Adventures will be the next expansion I get, and for some reason the people I play with buy contrabands, so I'm pretty sure it's going to come up.

No.

Events are not cards, and contraband lets you name a card.

Contraband gets a buff!

Any time an effect mentions "cards", Events are not included.

You mean a nerf?

You can buy events with Contraband with no repercussions. It's a terrible buff, but it makes Contraband 0.0001% better.

Actually the percentage is significantly higher, considering the power level of Contraband before Events.

Bwuh, you're right. My brain is off today.

Yeah I'm with Awaclus. This makes contraband pretty solid, especially if there's an expensive event like inheritance. (and you can probably sneak in some estate buys with contraband too)

[drsteelhammer]

I'd think mostly cheap events make Contraband great (if it's the only +buy)

Stuff like Expedition, Ball, Pilgrimage and maybe Mission where Event+2nd best card is stronger than the best card. Since I don't own Prosperity IRL I have never played such a game but I imagine Contraband to be pretty nice then.
