It's actually rather nice how this setup avoids many of the overpowered or otherwise annoying cards - no Goons, Mountebank, Rebuild, Possession or Scrying Pool, and most importantly:

NO SCOUT.

Ooh, Chancellor/Scavenger+Stash could work ...

So it would seem that we're using only Alchemy, Prosperity, Hinterlands, and Dark Ages. Unless you call "Dominion" just "base set."

There's several possible fast combos to go for here, though. Ironworks/Gardens is available, as is Native Village/Bridge. But Witch will probably slow those down, and since Baker is available, everyone can open Witch. But with Ambassador around, perhaps Curses aren't so good anyway. You could always go Big Money, of course. But then again, while you can get a Jack of All Trades, you can't go Double Jack.

I am so confused.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

Here's all the Cards from the base set that aren't included:
Moat
Woodcutter
Bureaucrat
Feast
Militia
Thief
Throne Room
Council Room

The rest of the cards from the base set are included. It's a really big Kingdom.

Baker doesn't help because coin tokens aren't available.

Guess Pirate Ship is a bad choice too!

The point of the game is to figure out what to look for.  Maybe an example would help.

A completely unrelated game of Dominion features Silver and Gold, but not Copper.  There's Scavenger, but not Chancellor.  You can play with Steward and Mandarin, but not Chapel or Count.  Platinum might be available, but not Colony.

Got it yet?

Solution: The game has every card except for those that start with the letter C.

Maybe Bureaucrat is still in there ... Depends on how you look at it.

Mail-mi : I can most certainly understand your frustration, I was looking at this too going : whaaaaat ? Then it suddenly hit me.

Although we do not have king's court nor council room, we can still use procession.

I think you may have it wrong; neither Procession nor Bureaucrat are available in this kingdom.

In fact, King's Court, Throne Room, Procession, and Counterfeit are all missing, so I hope you didn't want to double anything.

Golem is still there. He's close enough to doubling something, right?

Also its a little weird how there aren't any Young Witches but there are some normal Witches. I guess they moved in after growing up?

The real question is: are Envoy and Highway in the kingdom?  =)

I always vaguely feel like these games should be played more like Zendo, with turns and guessing and the like.

Bureaucrat is arguably allowed. You can actually interpret the rule that way, at least from what is given in the OP. Not sure if there are other cards in the same class as Bureaucrat...

Indeed, it's a fair argument, though I wouldn't have intended Bureaucrat to be in the set.

Actually, if you wanted, you could argue that Menagerie and Oasis, and to a lesser extent Sea Hag, are in the Kingdom also, with a slightly different interpretation of the OP.

I think Menagerie, Oasis and Sea Hag are all out because you also ruled out Potions in the OP.

Not sure what you're thinking of....

I'm saying that the rule in the OP could technically be thought of as "no consonant-vowel-vowel-consonant pattern anywhere in the word". In other words, all the things I ruled out had consecutive vowels in between 2 consonants.
