Been reading old BGG Dominion threads (for the lulz), and found a few amusing fake sample cards Donald references:
Consider a card that was an Unsilversmith. "Silver produces $1 less this turn." With some bonus to make you actually play it.
Say there was a card, Card Explosion, reading "this turn, all other action cards also say '+1 Card.'
And another card, Count Your Blessings, that said "+$1 per action in play that says '+1 Card' on it."
What if a treasure makes a variable amount of money? Say you roll a die and it's worth that much.
I don't have a quote, but I know he has also referenced "Throw-in-a-Silver," a card that you could reveal when you gain a card to also gain a Silver.
Advisor's Pal: Action - Duration, $5
Now and at the start of your next turn, +1 Card and +$1.
----------
When you choose this card, gain a Gold.
Strict Peddler: Action, $4
+1 Card
+1 Action
+$1
This turn, optional abilities are mandatory.
Persuasive Procurer - Action, $5
+$2
In your buy phase this turn, the other players reveal their hands, and you can buy cards from them.
Band of Nitwits: Action, $5
Play this as if it were any joke card Donald X. has posted in the forums costing less than it that you choose. This is that card until it leaves play or becomes too confusing.
So, these are awesome and amusing. Anybody else remember/can find fake sample cards that Donald has used? I especially love the names.
