Allright, nobody else? Should i solve or give more hints? I think it's obvious it's a joke question, but the answer isn't obvious at all, so maybe the puzzle isn't exactly easy...

Hmm... I'll just give another hint, either way: It didn't work before Adventures.

Once they're on the Tavern mat you can't call them back (I think that's how BoM works with reserve cards)

Though I think that might mean that they're all lightweights.

Maybe it's a boardgame meetup. Boardgames weren't super popular in the Dark Ages, and they are misfits, after all. I suppose they are playing Monopoly. Dark Ages, as i said.

About the question how much space is needed for maximum setup:

Maximum setup includes:
10 kingdom cards, one of which is Black Market
1 bane card
copper, silver, gold, estate, duchy, province
colony, platin, potion
curses, ruins
spoils, mercanary, madman, prices
black market pile
trash pile

Pirate ship, island, native village mats (6 each)
6 vp mats and trade route mat

This comes to a total of 28 piles, 25 play mats (with 7 of them actually being quadratic) and 6 play areas.

I'm pretty sure i didn't forget anything.

What are the new maximums after the release of Adventures :-) ?

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I fixed the puzzle because my wording was broken. That one was trivial, this one is just easy.

I start the buy phase with no cards in hand.  I finish it with some cards in hand.  How did I do it?

Using coins accumulated earlier, you buy a Bonfire, trashing a Cultist, Rats, or Fortress in play.

Yep, this is what I was thinking.  I'm not sure if there are other ways to do it.

Highway--> Messenger --> Lost city
Actually, this only draws you one card, but I feel there must be something like it to get more.

Overbuy a Doctor, trashing Cultist, Rats, or Fortress from the top of your deck.

"the buy phase"... like there's only one.
Prince Procession on Possession with no other cards in your deck.
On your opponent's turn, buy Ill Gotten Gains and Lost City.

I really want to work more P's into the answer...
Play Port to play Princess and Page with Pathfinding's token to draw and play Plaza(discarding Philosopher's Stone) and Poor House...

You have no cards in play at all, but you gain two different action cards in your Buy phase.  The second card is more expensive than the first.  What did you do?

Spend a bunch of coin tokens, overpay for Stonemason and gain the last Poor House in the pile. Alternatively, spend a bunch of coin tokens, overpay for Doctor, trash two Catacombses and gain a Moat and a Scout.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

Without Coin tokens or Stonemason: You played Death Cart and trashed it to itself. Buy Travelling Fair for $2, buy any Ruin ($0), buy Poor House ($1). $2 left over. You could also buy Travelling Fair twice, buy two Ruins, and then buy Poor House.

On your last turn you played Procession-Procession-Wharf-Merchant Ship

You would still have a Procession in play from that.

(Edit: Wait, never mind... OK, I guess that works.  No Durations then. :P)



The other two work.  My solution doesn't use coin tokens, Stonemason or Ruins.  Also, you only buy one thing!
