There's a guy with a Pentacorn hat, looking at a map on a table? I think?

This could be a fun game, where someone describes a picture from a Dominion card, and people have to figure it out from the description, without referencing the cards.

Oh no, he's right, there are two others in that image.  They are actually in the foreground, and rather shadowy, but they are there.

Did anybody else notice the human skull next to the Madman?  Creepy.

Yes, but I didn't realize it was creepy until now.

It doesn't even look all that much like a human skull - it seemed a bit like an Australopithecus or early Homo to me.

Or maybe the artist just didn't go through the trouble of making it anatomically correct?  Where would a medieval European have gotten the fossilized skull of an early hominid?

Dug it up out of the ground maybe. Or found it in a cave. It's reasonable.

Embargo and explorer both seem to fit the description, although embargo has some other boats and the explorer isn't a guy.

Nope.

But since I guessed wrong, am I really in control of the game right now? =)

I like that the art for village appears in scrying pool and plunder, but ruined village is clearly based on walled village.

And since we mentioned embargo already, I have to admit it took me forever to realize that that's a line of boats forming a wall in the distance, to emphasize the blockade bit.
