Rebuild!

Didn't we have a Rebuild game several months ago? That seems to ring a bell. Maybe I'm thinking of the Storeroom game.

On topic, I'd put Governor and Goons in this category, although I've learned to hate Governor a bit less.

That was Storeroom. I remember that game. It was on a Duke board.

With Hoard, right. You went Mine and I went Storeroom. That was an interesting game.

So, why don't you like Rebuild?

I don't like Rebuild because I am starting to think it is very luck dependant. I am now much better at playing it, but almost all games that I lose to low ranked players on Goko are Rebuild games. To be honest, I am starting to think it is better than Mountebank and Witch at $5. It is so fast!, and often, you can ignore the curser and win. I've had that happen to me before, twice! I went for the curser, my opponent goes for Rebuild, and Rebuild is so fast, and just skips over the curses! It doesn't matter how clogged your deck is. I think I ranked it fourth on Qvist's list, but if I went back, I would put it at number 1.

Farmland, Smugglers, and Fool's Gold. The first two because they're overrated / I don't understand how to use them, the third because it seems to often lead to boring games.

Farmland is overrated?

Anyway, I have to go with Alchemist. I always buy it when it's going to be too slow and I always ignore it when it's going to be dominant. And I've made the "Alchemists all gone, might as well trash this useless potion" mistake more times than I care to admit.

I'll agree that Rebuild is quite indifferent to most Attack cards, which in itself is quite powerful. I wonder how often it beats a good engine without Attacks, though. It can be quite fast, and if you reach a mega-turn with your engine, there won't be many Duchies left to buy. It's hard to say.

Someone else's least favorite card that other people seem to like:


I find council room so distasteful!
Forge!!!: why?
 I couldn't bare the though of giving you cards
 for free?!
 but, sadly, sometimes council room will win
as it has today
Forge!!!: often times, in fact
 what a mighty triumph!
Forge!!!: it is a good card
 nah
 worst card


I've never heard of Council Room called "distasteful" before. And shockingly, playing an engine centered around Library isn't a great idea against an opponent playing 2/3 council rooms per turn.
