Renaissance name BINGO!

First time trying to start something like this, so please bear with me.

Rules
1. Create a Bingo board with 3x3 fields like the one below, and fill it with names you think might end up in Renaissance as the names of card-shaped things.
2. Post it in this thread.
3. When one of the names is revealed, strike the name. Do not edit your original post! Instead, copy it and strike the name in a new reply.
4. Plurals and Singulars of the same noun count as the same name.
5. The first player to strike three in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line AND post "BINGO!" in this thread wins. No winning without posting, posting serves as a tie-breaker.
6. Playtesters and others who know the card names are allowed to post in this thread, but should try not to spoil the game.
PS: I realize real Bingo is 5x5, but I felt the chances are slim that anybody will win that way.

I'll go first:

Theatre | Patron | Scribe
------------------------
Replica | Scientist | Opera
------------------------
Statue| Backup | Student

Edit (for future reference):
7. Posting a board containing already revealed names is cheating. Duh.
8. Like plurals, competing spellings of cards are considered the same name, as long as they are pronounced the same.
9. If, after all cards have been revealed, no player has actual Bingo, everybody who has 2 names in a line can win by posting "Almost BINGO!".

Are you out of luck if it's spelled "Theater" instead?

Seriously though, I guess not? If we allow plural/singular, then I think different spellings should also count.

I was sure to have read that Dominion's usage of "Traveller" over "Traveler" was old (British) English, and decided for to invoke an old-timey feel. Of course a type isn't a card name, but it suffices for me to let both count.

My question was mostly because I assumed from that post that a "Theater" card had been revealed without me knowing.

Love this idea.

Investment	Academy	Architect
Opus	Artist	Aristocrat
Endowment	Inventor	Gallery

There's Cathedral and Swashbuckler from Joshua Stewart's site, but I feel like it's not fun if I don't come up with my guesses on my own.

Well, it's on the wiki page, so it must be true.

I didn't spot that one, because I'm British and we still spell "traveller" that way. Unlike the far more common "theater"/"theatre", I'd never noticed the USA spelled it differently. (Conversely, "spelt" does feel archaic to me here in the UK. Unless you're talking about the grain, of course.)

In that case, of course. What you said.

Eh, low odds of guessing much, but might as well

Architect	Magnum Opus	Senate
Painter	Cathedral	Fresco
Astronomer	Academy	Astrolabe

Other possible words: surgeon, mathematician, physicist, levy, army, navy, patron, city-state, constitution, lawyer, contraption, investor, revolution, citadel, prison, sovereign

We will see how many I guessed.

Composer   Inventor   General

(Yes, I copied a few ideas, but at least I moved their positions. Of course, we should've started this on Sunday.)
I hope I don't win because several of these are names of fan cards I like.

Alright! Yeah! Ok let me take a stab at this baby! I’m in it to win it! I think I got a nack for this kind of guessing so here we go.

King Vaccarino | Your Mother | Dumbledore
—————-
Morbidly Obese Ninja | The cast of cheers | The Nay Nay
—————-
Knights of Ni | Those Bomb ass tacos at the taco truck | The 1996 Olympics in Atlanta

Sit back and watch that bingo roll right my way guys! I got this!

Asper · « **Reply #16 on:** September 26, 2018, 05:37:11 am »

Umadin, you are disqualified for editing your guess.

Also, I really doubt that "Your mother" will become a Dominion card name. There's not enough ink to print her picture.

Donald X. · « **Reply #17 on:** September 26, 2018, 05:50:17 am »

Your Mother: Action, $0
+1 Coffer in the previous Night phase.

pacovf · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2018, 01:43:45 pm »

From today’s previews, I feel like I should have guessed Ducat. I would have never guessed Villain, and I would have rejected Silk Merchant based on the fact that we already have Silk Road and a bunch of merchants, though in hindsight I guess the namespace is pretty cramped already.

Yeah I'm kinda banking on that for my card:

Silk Market Wine Road Grant Merchant

Market Ship Merchant Square Market Guild

Farmer's Merchant Spice Market Merchant Market

Grand* Merchant, DAMMIT. Asper I want credit for that when it comes up.

pacovf · « **Reply #21 on:** September 27, 2018, 10:01:43 am »

Man, flag is another one that I should have seen coming.

In other name-density news, we now got Treasure Chest to go with Treasure Map, and Treasurer to go with Treasury.

Maybe the next Dominion expansion is Dominion: In Space, to avoid this problem.

Space Explorer, Action, 5$
Gain an Uranium to your hand. You may reveal a Space Station from your hand to make it go Boom.

crj · « **Reply #27 on:** September 28, 2018, 07:39:08 pm »

Uranium ought to be the negative counterpart to Treasure Map.

Maybe give the cards luminous green backs so other players can spot them, then:

Uranium, Treasure, worth $7. If you ever have two Uraniums in your hand at once, your turn ends and you trash your entire deck.

crlundy · « **Reply #28 on:** September 28, 2018, 08:07:23 pm »

Kudos to pacovf for the only predicted preview name, Citadel (albeit not in the bingo board)

pacovf · « **Reply #29 on:** September 28, 2018, 08:54:07 pm »

Man,and I didn’t say Sewers because I thought it was in Empires (I don’t have that expansion).

Now we wait for the full card list!

Commodore Chuckles · « **Reply #30 on:** September 28, 2018, 09:30:17 pm »

Uranium
Treasure - $20
Worth $10*2^(-n/4.5 billion), where n is the number of turns since the start of the game.

And Poet was the name of a playtested card that didn't make it (also Architect, and, for crlundy, Investment).

Asper · « **Reply #37 on:** October 20, 2018, 09:54:25 pm »

Rule 7: Once all cards are revealed, if nobody has actual Bingo, the person closest to getting actual Bingo wins if they post "Almost BINGO".
Rule 8: Revealed cards that were playtested but didn't make it can serve as tiebreakers if revealed early enough.

Just for the future.

Or two.

I probably shouldn't have introduced two tiebreaker rules, because now I am confused which takes precedence. So you guys will have to share the glory. Sorry. But have no worries, as we can ultimately settle this with the next expansion.

When it's time again for...
Dominion name BINGO!

Belated almost Bingo; I put too many eggs in the art basket. And now we speculate what we can from the card names!
