What did the S.H.I.T. acronym expand to in Dutch/Russian? :D

Гражданская Ассоциация Восстановления Независимости Эльфов
Civic Association Restoration of Independence of the Elves

Pity they couldn't find a phrase to match дермо. :(

It has a letter "ь" in the middle. Words can not begin with it

House-Elf Liberation Front was one of my favorite parts of the entire series.  Especially since it acronyms to HELF.

Yeah, but then some of them formed the Elf Movement for Liberation, and then the Popular Front for House Elfs.  Splitters!

Sweet another new promo card. Man, 2016 is shaping up to be quite the year for Dominion.

As for the the power level, I think this pile seems kind of weak, but seeing how they work off each other it's possible they're decent.

Honestly after Empires and 2nd Editions, I was not expecting a promo card this year.

2016 may just be the best year for Dominion so far!

I guess that makes 2014 the worst year, since we only got Prince.

Oh wait, these can chain, can't they? If I play Sauna then Avanto, I can play another Sauna again and so forth, right? If so, that makes it better than I initially thought, though, it still requires commitment similar to Herald.

While 2016 has surely been awesome for Dominion as a whole, I hope 2017 will be remembered as the year that saw Dominion online eventually flourish.

There was that one year where it was game... of the year.  That was probably a good year for Dominion.

What I just learned from the Promo Secret Histories:

More publishers should start politely requesting promo cards!

Is it just me, or does Sauna/Avanto seem really strong?

Suppose that you're the only one picking up Saunas.  You can take Saunas on $4, silvers on $3, and by the time the Avantos show up, you can easily afford them, and they function as double-labs that only you have access to.  This is such a good position for you, that your opponent ought to stop you by competing for Saunas early on.  So the Saunas will go fairly quickly.

It's cute that the finnish publisher got such a fitting card. It's thematic in a witty way, and the art is also rather pretty.

A number of other people could cause that to not happen, and not even feel obligated to tell me; but the same or similar people could have stopped the other promos from being in the BGG store, and yet they are all there.

Well, all except for Black Market. I got my copy before they took it off the site, though.

"Took it off the site" surely can only actually mean "sold out and haven't received more yet."

I hope so. It hasn't been available for months, though.

Cool to see the first impressions ranging from not very good to super strong :)

In my opinion, this is the best split pile so far. The self-synergy between Sauna and Avanto is the greatest among the split piles which I think is the most important aspect of them.

I also really like the design choice that Sauna costs so it isn't that easy to just get a lot of them before your opponent gets any.

Also, imagine I make a sarcastic and slightly salty remark about how it totally makes sense to rank the two cards seperately in Qvists rankings here because I'm too lazy to think of one right now.

I wonder how swingy of an opening Sauna/Silver will be. Like how much will it matter if they collide or not early on?
