Prepare to be teased.

Renaissance has:
- 25 kingdom cards, 25 sideways cards, 12 wooden cubes, 6 playmats, and 35 tokens
- three Treasures, two Attacks, two Duration cards, and one Reaction
- fifteen uses for tokens
- sixteen uses of "trash"
- a card with a word in quotation marks on it
- a card with only 3 words on it; a card with only 4 words on it
- three ways to play Actions in your Buy phase
- a way to take a turn after the game would otherwise be over
- a trasher you can't turn off
- something that cares about shuffling

Intriguing! I'm guessing the wooden cubes track Project progress, and the trasher you can't turn off is an Artifact. Actions in the Buy phase is probably Project/Artifact shenanigans.

We've never had any wood whatsoever in Dominion so far, right?

25 kingdom cards

Does that mean no Victory cards?

25 sideways cards

I'm betting for the return of Events, Landmarks, or States.

12 wooden cubes

For artefacts, I'm guessing.

6 playmats, and 35 tokens

Coffer mats and coin tokens?

- a card with only 3 words on it; a card with only 4 words on it

Probably something with projects and artefacts, like "Build a project" or "Take an Artefact token." Perhaps on a treasure, because aren't words?

three ways to play Actions in your Buy phase

Guessing these will be card-specific, like Action-Treasure or Action-Reaction cards. I highly doubt we're just getting an "play an action" on a Treasure or something. Seems like a prime target for rules hazards.

- something that cares about shuffling

A Stash-like thing, maybe? I'm thinking a Project (or Artifact) that says something like "When you discard ____, you may instead set it aside; put it anywhere in your deck the next time you shuffle."

By my count, yes. But a Project or Artifact might still give ways to score, like a Landmark, e.g. "When scoring, +1VP per Coin token in your Coffers."

6 playmats, and 35 tokens

Coffer mats and coin tokens?

And Action tokens?

- a card with only 3 words on it; a card with only 4 words on it

Probably something with projects and artefacts, like "Build a project" or "Take an Artefact token." Perhaps on a treasure, because aren't words?

Treasures usually say "When you play this", which will eat up those words. If Artifacts are sideways cards, then "Take an Artifact" could be an Action card.

Don't forget the name of the card and its type. That leaves room for only 1 or 2 words in the card's actual effect. My guess for the 3-word card would be:

(cardname)

$1
+1 Coffers

Treasure

which would probably cost around $4. But it seems a little boring, not much you can do with 3 words.

Technically, cardboard is made out of wood.

The 15 uses for tokens thing is really exciting; I was hoping for more stuff like Butcher and this sounds like it. I wonder if this counts their regular uses as well.

I'm guessing one of the ways to play action cards in your buy phase is an on-gain or on-buy effect.

With sixteen uses of "trash" wouldn't there be sixteen words in quotation marks?

The trasher you can't turn off, it would be wild if it was trashing from the top of your deck instead of your hand. I wonder if it's an actual deck thinner and not in the vein of "Remodel Province into Province".

We're assuming 300 cards, 25*11 (including randomizers) plus 25 for the sideways cards makes 300. There can't be any Victory cards since those are 12 copies per pile in games with more than two players.

Cubes to track project progress makes sense.  There are probably 2 cubes per player because projects follow the same selection rules as landmarks/events, and there can be at most two projects in play at a time.

If there were an artifact that simply said, everyone must trash a card at the beginning of each turn, would that work?  Hmmm... no that would be devastating with Militia.

35 tokens seems like kind of a small number if some of those are coin tokens and some are action tokens.  I was thinking there could be a card that simply says +2 or +3 action tokens, but it seems like the action tokens would run out really quickly.

DXV doesn't so Silver+ for $4. Make it +2 Coffers at a price of $5.

A treasure that gave +2 Coffers would look boring compared to Butcher.

I'm not sure Donald was including the name of the card and the type. Because then why not include the illustrator? And then you already have more than three words.

Edit: or where it says "Dominion" on the back.

- a trasher you can't turn off

Let me guess:
Pyre
Type: Project

Stage 1: $3
-
Stage 2: $4
4 VP
-
Stage 3: $5
4 VP
At the begin of each of your turns, trash a card from your discard pile. If you do: +1 Coffers.

- a card with only 3 words on it; a card with only 4 words on it

Wait, there was a card with only one word: Trash, but all other cards contained at least the four words "Illustration", "Rio", "Grande" and "Games" ... I cannot imagine what type of card it will be.

Then again, Dame Josephine is a Victory card in a 10-card pile. Renaissance may throw similar curveballs; I hope it does!

Butcher is rarely used as a payload card so I fail to see the huge similarity. It's like with Festival vs. Conclave. These two cards are even more similar yet feel and play very differently.

I am sure though that any Treasure that yields Coin tokens has an extra twist.

As of the first day of previews, we have seen:

- 5/25 kingdom cards, 0/25 sideways cards, 0/12 wooden cubes, 0/6 playmats, and 0/35 tokens
- 0/3 Treasures, 0/2 Attacks, 0/2 Duration cards, and 0/1 Reaction
- 0/15 uses for tokens
- 2/16 uses of "trash"
- no card with a word in quotation marks on it
- no card with only 3 words on it; a card with only 4 words on it (Scholar)
- 0/3 ways to play Actions in your Buy phase
- no way to take a turn after the game would otherwise be over, unless you count returning Experiments? I'm sure that's not what it's supposed to be though.
- no trasher you can't turn off
- nothing that cares about shuffling

So not much yet, but it's still fun to do this. We'll probably see a lot more of these once the previews get into the on-theme cards.

Hmm, disappointed that "+7" doesn't count as either 1 or 2 words. It means that we've had several cards with only 1-3 words on them before, which makes the whole prospect of having a card with only 3 words less exciting.
