Dominion Puzzles / Riddles.

Might be a fun way to think about the game, strategize, and start discussions about the game.

I'll start, as an example:

I just opened Scout/Great Hall on a 4/3 Board and expect to win the game against someone with a more typical opening. What other card is almost certainly on my board?

Why would you need other cards on that board?

(Shouldn't this go in the puzzles subforum?)

That's hard to answer because:



You might consider looking into the Puzzles subforum.

How about your opponent is building a rabble draw engine and also theres a crossroads. Still probably wouldn't open Scout/GH though...

Try not to let your head explode when you come across Celestial Chameleon.

Crossroads would be really strong in this case, I suppose, but it wasn't what I was thinking.

I'm intrigued. I tend to like things that make my head explode.

I'd say Ironworks, but I'm reasonably certain that you should open with that over the Scout.

I'd wager that Copper is almost certainly on the board. Unless you forgot to take it out of the box of course.

But he's playing an eight player game, and the four players before him opened copper.

If you haven't come across CC yet, try this one without searching for it here:

Using whatever kingdom cards you choose (and the Black Market can also have whatever you want in it), and assuming "perfect shuffle luck" (ie whenever you shuffle you can order the cards however you prefer), gain every card in the supply and score over 1000 points by the end of turn 5 in a solitaire game.
