A second entry for Double Double.  This is the one I want to go with.

"So it's turn five. You bottom decked your purchases on turns 1 and 2 and here they are in your hand: a silver, and something good, and who knows? Maybe another something with a plus buy (from turn 3 or 4)? 

What to do, what to do, what to do.   Hmmmm.

Here's your 'fix.' Kind of.  But WTF, you are screwed anyway."

(Given its name, is it not fitting that you will find this one in the Projects?)

Maybe we should be allowed two entries for a contest that is about doubling! :P

Can I do that from my phone or the app?  I can't seem to find that menu.  It lets me edit the post . . . but when I click on it, there is no option to reduce the size.
I don't know about the app.

On the website: In the editor, it shows the size of the image. This is a field you can edit, just click on it. Then click Apply, then Save.

... or, like spineflu says, write this code in your post:
[img width = 300]http://i.imgur.com/4JOj7WG.png[/img]

Nice try, but nope. I'll only judge the last card each person posts.

Doppelganger • $4@3 • Action - Attack
Play an Attack from your hand twice. If it cost:
$5 or more: Each player with four or more cards in hand discards a card
$3 or less: Each player gains a copper to the top of their deck.
Otherwise: +$1, Each other player takes their -$1 Token

This might be under/overpowered, depending on the kingdom. I've got a couple other ideas I'm working on also but I like the weird niche this is working on.

Also would the otherwise clause here still happen if you failed to play an action? I tried to word it so it would.

That is how it reads to me.  If it didn't have that clause, I don't think it would be an Attack card, per se.

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).

I like this. My only concern is that it could show up in a Kingdom with no actions that give .

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.

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!!

It's practically a dead card if it's the only source of Villagers, though.

How? It's a Throne Room that's a King's Court for the first time you play it.

Yes, but it only costs less than a King's Court. It's so much worse than King's Court for being a similar price.

I guess it's not "practically a dead card," but it's definitely weak for its price if its the only source of Villagers.

There's a huge gulf between much worse than King's Court and practically dead.

Tired of people beating you to the City split or snatching all the Nobles? Take the Back road.

Thanks.

There are a decent number that give virtual coin.
Most cards have kingdoms that favor them and those that don't and many are useless (or virtually useless) without support (rats without other trashing, conspirator without + actions, moat when there aren't attacks, etc.). If it's not worth buying, people just don't buy it.

Problem is, you also need the virtual coin to either be non-terminal or have Villages in order to play Profit afterwards. And most virtual coin is +, which makes it very hard to make Profit make more than even a Woodcutter.

Yeah. This is just a more-expensive Throne Room that has a stronger effect than Throne Room. I dunno if it's weak at or not, but it seemed weird to use the term "dead" when that generally refers to something like Stables in a hand with no treasure; or when people make fan cards that do almost nothing unless there's an attack available, etc. Even if the card were just literally Throne Room but costing , I wouldn't think to use the term "dead".

Feeling maybe a little seen here.

I'm revising my entry this week


Now it doesn't have to be a dead card unless you let it. (edit: this is withdrawn)

$5 or more: Each player with four or more cards in hand discards a card

moot point since this is edited out, but an attack doesn't have to "attack" to be an attack - check out Minion.



Tired of people beating you to the City split or snatching all the Nobles? Take the Back road.


Feel free to help with the wording.
A concern with this would be, you've got a six player game, you have a round of turns where everyone plays one or more Back Roads - how do you track it?
You may want to consider introducing a "back road" adventures style token of some kind and give each player ... idk, three of them? two? two seems flexible/pragmatic, one simplifies it a bunch - and then have these place/move Back Road tokens - that way no one can lock out more than N piles at once, and while a whole board Action standstill is possible, it's way less likely.

Also can my Back Road block your Back Road? you can fix that with the token-based design - Make it only placeable on a pile that doesn't have a Back Road token on it.

Something like
Quote
Place your Back Road token on an Action supply pile that does not have a Back Road token on it. (Players may not buy cards from a pile that has another player's Back Road token on it). Until the end of your next turn, whenever you buy a card from a Supply Pile that has your Back Road token on it, gain a copy of it. When you discard this, remove one of your Back Road tokens.

There are plenty of games where I've generated coin mostly off virtual coin (peddler variants help). I've played double tactician plenty of times and that requires complete virtual coin (yes the extra 5 cards helps, but it's not absolutely necessary).

@spineflu I did want people to back road each other with ensuing hilarity but I didn't think through the tracking issues especially for large games. I may use that token idea or drop it for something new.
I also wonder if it wouldn't be significantly unfun to play against if there is a kingdom with only one village type card that a single player hoards.

Summer House - Action Shelter, $1
You may play a non-Duration, non-Shelter Action card from your hand twice. If you do, trash this.
Quote
Wagon - Action Shelter, $1
+1 Action
This turn, when you gain an Action card and have 2 or more Shelters in play, you may trash this to gain a copy of the gained card.
replaced by Taverna
Quote
Taverna - Night Shelter, $1
Choose a card you have in play that you've gained a copy of this turn. If you do, trash this to gain another copy of it.
Quote
Asylum - Action Shelter, $1
Discard 2 Shelters. If you do, +1 Card per card in your hand.
replaced by Cavern
Quote
Cavern - Treasure Shelter, $1
When you play this, discard 2 Shelters and reveal a Victory card from your hand, revealing them. If you do both, +1 Buy and double your $ if you haven't yet this turn.

Tell me if a set of Shelters doesn't count as one entry. Or indeed if any of them are crazy.

Edit: reworked Summer House so it can't be trashed in the opening. Replaced Wagon with the cleaner Taverna, which also can't be trashed in the opening.
Edit 2: changed Asylum to Cavern, something a fair bit more rewarding if you choose to keep all 3. (Thanks Fragasnap for highlighting Asylum's flaws out clearly enough). A later edit to Cavern to make it more correct.

I think the attack type idea was to make other cards, such as moat, be able to interact with them.
Legionary also does not always "attack"
