Voltaire and I have been playing IRL lately, this one's for him.

It was a 4-player game, too.

Thanks for making that meme template, Seprix.









And now for something completely different

Do you mean the -$2 token?  Man, I wonder if there could be a kingdom where that's actually a good idea so that you can freely trash Coppers with Upgrade.

Probably any kingdom with Ferry, Upgrade, and Poor House.

It will probably be better to place it on a $3 instead.

(...but not Junk Dealer, or arguably Rat Catcher or possibly Chapel.  Junk Dealer severely upstages Upgrade as a pure trasher more than anything else, though.  Swindler and/or Mountebank could make Upgrade more desirable too.)

Oh, that's usually true.  The token can only go on Actions, though, so that just means there's yet another condition.  If it's a derpy terminal like Chancellor, though, then it's hard to say.  Great Hall would be sort of the opposite.

Breaks the Rules Wine Merchant?

Wait how is that breaking the rules? You don't need to reveal a Province to someone else's Tournament. I was thinking of a game where player 1 is playing an engine with a bunch of Tournaments for cantrip economy and reshuffles mid-turn, then right after that player 2 starts revealing Provinces leaving player 1 at the top of a shuffle with nowhere to go and a lot of Tournaments/engine parts all in play to miss the shuffle. Specifics are questionable but it was midnight when I made that picture.

It's "breaking the rules" if you reveal a Tournament, ask the other person if they wish to reveal, wait for them to say "No", reshuffle to draw, and then the person reveals.  It's too late for the reveal.   Well really it's not a rule breaking; the reveal of the Province just doesn't do anything.

If you just preemptively start shuffling, then that's your fault, and you're technically not allowed to do that. So that is a rule breaking, but since your discard pile is not really ordered anyway, it doesn't matter much.  You just put it back.

That's  not how it works.. Things can't miss the shuffle because you decide to shuffle out of order.  You only shuffle when something does something to the top of your deck (e.g., draw, reveal), and there is no deck there.  There is no decision in the matter.

In the case of a revealed Province to a Tournament, no card is drawn so no shuffling happens.

I think she means they play another Tournament.

Ohhhh that's what you mean. I meant the next Tournament after that person reshuffles. It didn't occur to me that there might be a loophole because of the Goko format where you literally can't cheat there.

Dang. I was hoping to avoid that. Oh well.

I mean, you kind of have to be good at the game to spot troll moves, but... eh.

Durrr yes I do mean that. Missed the minus sign.

Memegenerator just doesn't like signs for whatever reason, especially at the start. I had to spell out the word 'plus' on a meme a few pages back because of that.

...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.
