Renaissance rulebook is up

I'm sad there's not that much first-order non-attack interaction and no alt-VP but overall it looks great, with a lot of thinking man's cards and emergent complexity. I'm getting a Dark Agy (Age-y?) feel with it. Patron may pose problems for non-English versions, though.

This was exactly my thought when I read it.

Technically both Lantern and Enchantress cause me to do something else than following the play instructions on a card. Do I get to choose the order, and does it make a difference?

City Gate is a gimped Secret Passage, Silos looks so much better for one $ more. Exceptions like Vassal, Mystic, Sentry or Lookout apply.

Road Network is a staple in multiplayer games.

I'm so pleased. Been waiting so long for that name to show up and was heartbroken when the only card to beat chapel in trashing-crazyness was named Donate. Now everything is good with the world again.

When it comes to names I'm a bit annoyed with Piazza, I associate the name with discard for coffers or at least something with +buy. This feels more like a Herald/throne room thing. Ah, well, that is details. At least it's probably not at risk at be confused with Plaza being a sideway card.

Effectively, Enchantress supersedes Lantern. You’ll just get +1 Card and +1 Action.

Cathedral/sewers... At the cost of your first two turns, you could gain the ability to trash two cards at the start of your turn.

Also, question: can you place multiple project cubes on the same project? If so, imagine two cubes on capitalism to turn actions into silvers.

No, and also I'm not sure what the second part means.

Who will be the first to lock themselves out of the game due to Cathedral? Did it happen to you, playtesters?

No, you can only put one cube on each project and not unbuy them so to speak.

But I don't get Capitalism (ugh, that's weird to say as a libertarian..). My impression was that you only get the +coins that it is stated on the action cards,not the play effect but many comments seem to believe that you will get them. The rulebook says: 

Quote
Any time you play an Action - Treasure card, it is both an Action and a Treasure, regardless of which phase it is. Getting +1 Action in your Buy phase does not let you play other Action cards then. Capitalism works on your turn, but affects cards everywhere; for example if you have Capitalism and play Bandit, you could trash another player's Improve, and it is not relevant if that player has Capitalism or not.

which is ambiguous to me. Treasures don't need actions to be played, why would +actions affect anything?

What does patron do when revealed by Black Market? Does the player who play BM get the coffers?

Reread the section about Capitalism, and now it makes sense.  (I was confused before I read it)

Thank you for the clarification.  At first I thought you could place both cubes on the same Project if you wanted.  With that in mind, I think games would be interesting if players only had one Project Cube to use, forcing you to choose between two potential projects.

Market will become a treasure card, but Smithy won't. Playing Market in my buy phase will give me +1 Action, but that still won't let me play Smithy. The +Action will just (most of the time) be meaningless. That's what the rulebook is trying to clarify.

I think Lantern effectively modifies a "how many cards to reveal" property unique to Border Guard (whose default value is 2), and Border Guard's on-play instructions use that property. Where Enchantress says don't even follow the on-play instructions, so it doesn't matter what the value of that property is.

I guess so, but to me it would have been cleaner if the Border Guard text had just by itself referenced Lantern - so: "reveal 2 plus 1 if you have Lantern". (which would have left Lantern as a textless Artefact, funnily enough).

You're correct. 

Looking at the sets of 10, Donald really went all-out with the names for the sets.  My personal favorites are:

"Overture" and "Prelude" (Both being musical terms for an introductory theme that encompasses an entire theme)
"Capture the Flag" (Appropriate name for a flag which constantly moves from person to person.)
"Memento Mori" (Remember death indeed.)

I also find "Hideout" to be an interesting card; it's a pseudo-village that penalizes victory card trashing.  What this means is that early game it's not that useful (unless you want to trash Coppers or received Curses), or... Wait, you can use Trader to trash Estates and turn them into Silvers.

Some of the Teaser cards: Patron has "reveal" in quotations, Scepter, Capitalism, and Inovation let you play Actions in your Buy phase, Fleet gives players extra turns, and you can't turn off Cathedral.
I'm kind of dissapointed that Border Guard uses both Lantern and Horn, meaning that there are only four kingdom cards that use Artifacts. I hope he uses them again in another expansion.

It's still useful, it just means that it will take an extra play to trash Estates (first play get a Curse, second play trash the Curse). It's an interesting question when it will be better to trash the Estates over Coppers.

If Patron was Rats, then Rats could reveal it.
