I was playing a game with some proxy cards and came upon an interesting question. Someone had a hand of Crown, Gold, and Fortune. They Crowned Gold and then played Fortune. Crown doubled their money, does that mean Fortune doesn't trigger?

I'm 99% sure the answer to this is "Fortune does trigger" and the ability refers to cards that specifically double your current number of coins. Is this true?

Yes, Fortune triggers.
My question is, can you Crown Fortune? My assumption is no, because Fortune only allows you to double your coin once. Is that correct?

You can Crown Fortune, but you don't get more money than just playing Fortune normally.

Hey, at least you get another Buy this way! That sometimes matters!

I think the split piles are my favorite of all the previews. The art could be a little better but I like the interaction between the cards.  I know I'll be digging for that fortune every game it's up. I mean you can't just ignore a 16 dollar treasure you don't even have to pay full amount for up front. That's one thing I've noticed with a lot of the cards shown is that there's more of a temptation to empty out the piles than racing to empty the province/colony piles. It motivates the alternative 3-pile ending which is always a plus; makes it different. Can't wait to see the rest :).

BTW lets say i played 3 highways and used altar to gain a fortune (since it has a normal price as well) would I accumulate the debt of 8 dollars just from gaining that fortune or would I get it for free

You can't gain it this way since debt is also in the cost. It's like cards that have potion in the cost.

If you play Hero, and gain a Fortune, you do not gain the debt. It is only gained when buying

lol I'm trying to discern which one of you guys are right but I would guess that you can still gain a fortune through altar if it still has a normal price with the debt price as well. I mean i know you can't gain a card like royal blacksmith since it just debt but I don't know if the same applies to a mixed price card.

They're both right. You can't gain a Fortune with Altar just like you can't gain a Familiar with Altar. You can gain a Fortune with Hero just like you can gain a Phil Stone with Hero. You don't get debt by gaining the Fortune with Hero.

Ohh I see so hero can gain it cause price doesn't matter but when price does come up everything else fails to gain it. alright that answers my question. thanks J Reggie.

Royal Blacksmith's cost is $0+8D, so with 5 Highways in play you could Expand a Royal Blacksmith into a Fortune...

Yeah, the (faulty) logic that leads to Fortune not triggering would also say that if you play 2 Coppers and then Fortune, that Fortune does nothing, because the second Copper "doubled your money" by taking it from 1 to 2.

I'm guessing I can't play Actions in my Buy phase if my +1 Action token is on Rocks?  But if I buy a Villa, I will have that extra Action when I revert to my Action phase?
Same goes for fortune, and the only thing so far about this card is how much the art sucks.

Coppersmith does not double your money.  It makes Copper yield +$1.

Playing no $ generation during your Action phase (with no Durations) also doubles your money!

I just realized that Gladiator (as well as several other preview cards) showcase the new use of "they" pronouns.  People in my household are pretty hyped about the pronoun change.

This change has made pretty much everyone I play Dominion with who isn't male (actually, the majority of people I play Dominion with) very happy.

Does Catapult's Treasure type check happen before or after the trashed card lands in the trash? (since an Estate inheriting Crown would revert back to a non-Treasure once in the trash)

Of all the obscure rules questions i have seen, this wins the title of most obscure. Congratulations.
