Decided that I like this other new card I came up with better.



A Peddler variant that can Scheme a card (including itself) if you don't spend its . Might be too strong for .

I doubt it’s too strong.. it’s basically a $4 card that can optionally be used as a $3 card instead.

You may remove a token from your Villager mat to play an Action from your hand three times. Otherwise, you may play an Action from your hand of which you have no copies in play two times for +1 Villager.

HISTORY:
Changed from "You may reveal an Action from your hand. If you have no copies of it in play, +1 Villager. Either way, play it twice, and then you may remove a token from your Villager mat to play it a third time." Realized that's virtually never going to generate Villagers since you'd only keep one so you could consume it with a different play. Now it's a King's Court by eating a Villager or an Impish Throne Room that generates a Villager.

Too cheap.  It's going to play like a King's Court with a  plus action.  This might even, over-all, be better than KC.  This will be much better than KC early to midgame.  But
it probably won't have as much engine power in the end game.  This is a $6 card minimum.

Cool card, though!  Very cool!

I think you missed something; you don’t get a +action and a KC effect; you have to spend the villager you get the KC, so you won’t also get +action. Either way though I agree that it’s too strong; it’s still almost a King’s Court.

Yep.  It is a KC hybrid with an option to redirect the last  play to another card.  Think of how many times you have wanted to be able to split the KC on that final play!  Another way to look at it is a Throne Room +Action.

Powerful card!  Maybe like a $5+2debt.?  Or 5+1debt?

I am going to stick with this card after all. It has the sort of potential for digging ones own grave I like. I am after all the player who laughs while their deck chokes from having too many rats.

But also this is a card that can get a person out of a real hole by giving them a chance to buy a few silvers when up against knights.  Or it can just be used to draw cards for an engine. Occasionally you'll not play it but that's true for cellar and chapel too.

Either way it feels more fun than any of my alternatives.

Based on the post date, it should be about time for a 24 hour warning.

I took a look through and two cards stood out for me as seeming like the most fun to play with.

Winner: Porcelain Shop by Snowyowl
Simple and creates a lot of strategy around it in terms of when you want to cash in the coffers.

Runner Up: Metalsmith by Gazbag
Underpowered (it would probably be better as a non terminal $3 or $4) but I love the concept. I think it would be fun to buy a bunch of these then get big draws out of them, but it would only work in certain kinds of deck. It's a card you really need to commit to which I quite like.

Feedback for other cards on request (PM me)

Thank you NoMoreFun!

Double, Double

Create a card-shaped thing that in some way doubles or duplicates something.

Examples of official cards include Throne Room (doubles an action you play), Coppersmith (doubles the value of your coppers),  Experiment, Magpie (get more copies of themselves), and Duplicate (is called Duplicate).

It is a Baker variant. It can save an unspent coin for the future turn.

[This is no longer my entry this challenge, see Siege Tower further down]



I have a few ideas, so figured I'd get one in and get initial feedback - if it's no good, can definitely switch to something else:



(and yes, it's the Villager / Action version of Porcelain Shop - not super original, but I love the image I found for Juggler, since the card deals with Villagers)

This doubles the Actions your non-terminals give. It only works when you get exactly +1 Action so it wouldn't work on e.g. Villages. It might want to cost $7 given the abundance of +1 Action cards we have these days.

Doppelganger • $4+ • Action - Attack
Play an Attack from your hand twice. For each token on your Doppelganger mat, choose one (the choices must be different): Each other player ...
... with 4 or more cards in hand discards a card.
... gains a Copper.
... takes their -$1 Token;
... receives the next Hex, then remove a token from your Doppelganger mat.
-
When you buy this, you may overpay. If you do, add a token to your Doppelganger mat.

This might be under/overpowered, depending on the kingdom. Doppelganger mat is a generic token-holding mat, like the Pirate Ship mat. Any amount of overpay (coin or potion) is sufficient to add a token, one per purchase - you don't get more tokens if you overpay by $5 instead of $1.

(My first entry ever!!  Sorry this is so damn huge.  Don't know how to shrink.)
On the Imgur page (here), if you're logged in you should see a menu in the top-right of your picture. Open it, select "Edit Image", and then resize it to, say 300x460.
That way it loads faster, too.

it's the Villager / Action version of Porcelain Shop
This sort of blatant pandering is completely and utterly fine. Please, continue.

Promenade (Action, $6).

You may play an Action card from your hand twice.
You may return one of your Villagers. If you did, play it a third time.
---
When you gain this, +1 Villager.

A Throne Room variant that lets you upgrade to King's Court if you have a Villager to hand.

Here's my entry. (Mix of Tactician and Fortune)


It doesn't combine and with fortune to quadruple. It's way cheaper than fortune, but doubles before you play treasures, and discards the rest of your hand (meaning no more treasures).

This is especially powerful with cards that provide +Villagers, e.g. Patron or Acting Troupe, since those can be used with for the 3rd play.

For Acting Troupe it's basically +10 Villagers!!
