Play tracker in action phase, (get a boons that doesn't gain you anything), don't buy anything, use exorcist in night phase on an expensive card for ghost, topdeck ghost, play devils workshop for cemetery, trash overgrown estate, draw ghost, play ghost. Right? If there's a way to do it with no on-trash abilities then I have no clue. Unless it's something goofy with possession or masquerade or 22 player noble brigand/messenger/lost city shenanigans

Technically that doesn't work because you can't gain Cemetery if it's a board without Haunted Mirror, but obviously you can achieve the same effect very easily just by using any Night that trashes, such as another Exorcist.

EDIT: for extra hard mode, you can gain Blessed Village with Vampire and get the +1 card boon to draw the Ghost, or you can get the +2 cards, discard 2 cards boon to draw the Ghost. Does that count as two different possible solutions?
I suppose that's correct.

My two solutions work without Boons though.

+1 Card Token on Werewolf would do it.

True! But that doesn't cover hard mode.

After thinking some more, one of my solutions for extra hard doesn't work. But the other is still fine, and was actually the reason I came up with this puzzle in the first place.

Why is there a puzzle with a "hard mode" and an "extra hard mode", 12 comments of discussion, and spoiler-blocked responses, in the "easy puzzles" thread?

I'm not sure what you want this thread to be. I don't find puzzles where the answer gets posted within 5 minutes to be very exciting.

That's pretty standard for this thread. The only thing that doesn't belong here are the spoiler tags.

I mean, that is literally what this thread is supposed to be. Easy puzzles. Puzzles that are not easy, and inspire extended discussion, can have their own threads!

So can you give me a good a priori way to determine whether a puzzle that I post is easy or not? When I thought it up, I thought it likely to just be answered right away.

Are you saying that we shouldn't be allowed to extendedly discuss puzzles ITT?

Maybe we need a "reasonably easy puzzles" or "harder version of easy puzzles" thread

It's not about difficulty guys, it's about length.  Nobody feels like starting a new topic just for a weird convoluted interaction problem.

Or more accurately:

"Interesting card interaction you dreamed up that was reverse-engineered into a puzzle"

In a kingdom with no black market, reserves, or durations except tactician, I play 3 action cards on my turn, the first of which is a tactician. What events are in the kingdom?

Alms and Pathfinding; in a previous turn, I put pathfinding on Villa, then on the turn I just described, I used alms on a villa and played it, drawing another action card and playing that.

Summon is enough with Bridge or Highway, so that you can Summon a Tactician and 2 other actions.

You can also not have any Events or start-of-turn shenanigans by just doing Golem into Tactician and X.

Not if Tactician is the first Action played on the turn.

On a board with no Haunted Mirror, I gain a Ghost from the Ghost pile and play it on the same turn. How?

Hard mode:             No tokens, opponents have Lighthouses out       
Extra hard mode:                 All of the above, but also non on-trash effects             

EDIT: Hard mode fixed. It is solvable now.
EDIT2: New extra hard mode. I can think of 2 possible solutions for extra hard.

By the way Seprix has just inadvertently solved this puzzle in another thread:

Not useful, but certainly neat.

When you play an Enchantress, it covers the first Action card played during a turn... Which includes a Werewolf in the Night Phase.

 :) What is the largest number of differently-named Victory cards you can have in your deck, with none of them worth more than 0 VP?  :(

I'm gonna guess... 48?
