Curse, Copper, Silver, Gold, Potion, Platinum, Estate, Duchy, Province, Colony are abbreviated with their first letter. (Province, Potion, Platinum are abbreviated PR, PO, PL. Curse and Copper are CU, C)
Also, does anyone have a good way to abbreviate cards that doesn’t suffer from ambiguity?
The basic gist is that you play a card, put its affect in parenthesis, and use the most basic terms for all cards. For example, when you play Island and Native Village, the term for “set aside” is used in both instances. Actions, Buys, +Cash, VP chips, cost reduction and such are implied.
Example 1: (In this turn, A JOAT is played, an estate is drawn, an estate is trashed, and a silver is bought.)
T1-turn 1 (CCCE JOAT)
JOAT(xS, -E, +E, /E/)CCC[ S ]
Example 2: (In this turn, many different things happen and many controversial and difficult cards played, such as Possession, Black Market; Tunnel is discarded, Watchtower is revealed and such)
T1 (Border Village, CCCC)
