Fan Card: Theater

Just a simple idea that popped into my head recently, any thoughts?

Theater- $4
Action

+1 Card
+2 Actions

-

When you buy this, reveal your hand. +1 VP for each Action Card revealed.

I think this needs to be nerfed a bit, or it'll be way too easy to be getting 20+ VP/turn, and this will dominate most boards it's on. Perhaps +1 VP for every 2 action cards might work better, and even that could be worth $5.

Edit: Another idea would be to replace the "+1 Card" with "Discard a card". That way it has a little less self-synergy and you have to actually combo it with some card draw to get its full effect.


Edit: Misread the card, I didn't realise the second part was on-buy.

I don't see why you see it as so strong. You have to have them in your hand when you buy it, so that means you can't have used them that turn. I see the average "play" of most action cards to be worth more than 1VP each. You need to have a draw engine, cost reducers, and +buys to make this crazy. You need to have Blind draw into multiple terminal actions where you still have $4 in hand to make this worth significantly more than $3. I think village victory card worth 1 VP is worth $4. It would take a sizable draw engine to make this worthwhile. At the point in which you have 4 of these and 1 other action in your hand, none of which are played, it can start being worth 20VP.

Edit: I seriously misread the card, I thought it said "when you buy a card, you can reveal this and your hand".

Yeah, I think the card is meant as a double bonus for terminal collision.

On the one hand, you get an extra village, on the other hand, you get some VPs for your unused/unplayable terminals.

I don't think it has to be nerfed, it's probably fine the way it is.
You don't often have $4 to spare anyhow.

If the buy-clause would be changed to a gain-clause we might have a problem.

Not much to say here. I like it as it is. Well done.
