Bonus Preview 11: Desperation



It's the Event version of Cursed Gold. You can have more money, if you want it badly enough.

Another card-shaped thing that allows something other than 2/5 and 3/4 openings, since you can buy it in either, or both of your opening turns to add $2, although you'd probably need some good trashing to make that worthwhile

Interesting one. Similar to cursed gold but more powerful. For example, it has +buy.

I'll totally open Altar/Sentry/Curse/Curse.

The +1 buy is only counteracting the fact hat you need a buy to get Desperation. And you can't "Throne" a Desperation.

Is the person on the art missing a hand?
I think they're just scratching their arse. Probably in desperation.

I assume that's the cause of the desperation.

Looks like they've been caught stealing once before...

In a kingdom with this, coven, and a good trasher, I can see myself getting this just to start trashing the exiled curses early

Presumably the person is hiding some stolen fruit behind their back. Very appropriate art for the card imo.

Hmm. Way of the Rat says "You may discard a Treasure to gain a copy of this." But Desperation says "You may gain a Curse. If you do, +1 Buy and +$2."

Now, I happen to prefer the old "if you do" wording over the modern "to", so I'm hardly complaining, but I am left wondering why Menagerie isn't consistent, here.

because "+1 Buy and +$2" isn't a verb-y phrase the way "gain a copy" is?; altho i guess it could be phrased

The answer to any inconsistency in wording:

We may have talked about it but there's no real reason there. The cards try to be phrased well and are not all phrased at once.

I don't know if there was a reason. It got this wording and this wording seemed fine; the usual story when people want the story of the wording.

Hmm. Goatherd: "+1 Card per card the player to your right trashed on their last turn"

What if they trash the same card twice? What if you can't tell?

As far as I can tell, you cannot trash a card that is already trashed.
Or do you mean trashing a Fortress multiple times?

Fortress is just the most obvious case. The game also contains several ways to gain stuff from the trash.

There are quite a few cards that require close tracking in this set - Invest is one I didn’t expect, now you have to have two separate pools of Exiled cards and keep track of them. In general it does feel more and more like the game is being written for online play (which I don’t mind at all!).

Oh boy: Seize the Day!

That's going to set up a fascinating game of chicken as the Provinces run low.

How is one supposed to track it, though? Time to break out the Project cubes from Renaissance?

I hope he just has his hand behind his back. Otherwise, we know one of the reasons why he is so desperate.

Typo in the rulebook; under the Way of the Mouse FAQ:
