Like when the two cards you buy during T1 and T2 come in hand 5.
We call it pinching (getting pinched. "My Swinder and Silver got pinched") in my play group.
Is there a universalized term for this? I didn't see it in the glossary.

Bonus Fact: Tactician is far and away the most viewed non-Main Page on the wiki and is the only page for a specific card to appear in the top 10 pages.

That's because it's been the featured article for several months now.

Re: your topic - I dunno, I've never really thought about giving it a formal name, though I'm not sure I think "pinching" is the right word for it.

[Ozle]

'Missed'

[heron]

I'm pretty sure most people call it missing the reshuffle.

[Kuildeous]

I don't have a specific term for it, but there are expletives involved.

[clb]

I like the idea of a specific word. We don't use one presently. Did you mean pinched as in stolen, or pinched as is squeezed?
Here are some options, shooting from the hip (it is hard to know, in an international community, which terms are innocuous):
Orphaned
Abandoned
Buggered (is that vulgar in some dialects?)
Gipped (might also be vulgar/offensive? )
Ditched
??
I guess I have a bit of a theme going in my suggestions.

[sudgy]

From all of the dominion terms I can think of, most of them have some connection to the game.  This one should also have some connection.

[dondon151]

F***, my Swindlers just got f***ed.

[Drab Emordnilap]

Laundered.

[Awaclus]

Laundered.

This! This so much.

I usually just call it ****.

Occasionally, for variety, it's ************ ******* ******* ************.

[Obi Wan Bonogi]

I like 'decked' or 'buried'

I'm assuming you mean "gypped" which was derived from "gypsy" as a derogatory term suggesting that gypsies are dishonest or thieves. I've seen it written as "jipped" and "gipped" so that's what spurred my reply. Forgive me if I'm wrong.


Oh and I use the term "bad luck" or "missed the shuffle" or "what card did I buy last turn?"

[Axxle]

"late"

[michaeljb]

"Missed" or maybe "skipped".

Merriam-Webster indicates that it may be a shortened form of Gypsy, but they have no supporting evidence, just a guess. All of the people I know use it completely independent of any reference to Romas, but as I typed it I remembered that it is not that way for everyone.

I suppose he could have meant "gimped" but that's not really less offensive.

+1 for laundered

"late"

I'm way in to Late. Also a fan of Stranded.

'Held over' is one of the more accurate terms I've seen but there doesn't seem to be an English word for something accidentally lost/separated and therefore delayed. Missing a shuffle also seems well enough understood.

[WanderingWinder]

You know, I do like to call BOTH of your opening cards missing the opening shuffle (the 1 in 132 chance) "The Golden Sombrero", which is surely stolen straight off of the 4 strikeouts in a game thing from baseball.

Oh I like this, I may use it or the Cricketing version

(To be out for 0 runs is a duck
To be out first ball is a Golden Duck
To be out for 0 in both innings is a pair
To be out first ball, both innings is a 'King Pair'  (Sometimes a Golden Pair))

Ok, now I'm on a quest, because I cannot believe there's no such word.

Waylaid?

1 in 66.

You're basically looking to pick two specific cards out of 12 in no particular order. So the first card has a 2/12 chance, the second 1/11, giving 2/132 = 1/66 as the total chance.
