Why isn't Prince a Duration card? (Just so the whole Seaside rulebook doesn't have to be included with it, I guess.)
Using Prince on a Duration card fails, right?
And now I'm super-confused about what using Prince on Prince would do.
Some wiki-editing is in order, but I don't have time to do it right now.
Prince as a Duration card -- you're probably right. It would also be confusing for this to be the one Duration card that doesn't last just for the next turn.
Prince on a duration -- yes, it would fail on the turn that the duration card doesn't get discarded. I think that means it might succeed for one turn with Outpost on an Outpost turn... I'm not sure.
Prince on Prince -- you set aside P1, then choose to set aside P2. At the start of your next turn, you play P2 and set it aside. Then you choose an action card from your hand to set aside. At the end of that turn, you do not discard P2 and thus fail to set it aside again. Therefore P1's effect is lost and P2 does not get played on any subsequent turn. The action set aside for P2 will be played though.
With really flexible cards like Steward or Count Prince is truly obscene. Steward especially, given how useful trashing is at the beginning and draw at the end.
I think Prince-Steward would be great, but the trashing wouldn't matter much in this case. By the time you get Prince, you'll usually have trashed down significantly with Steward already. It could be helpful in junk-heavy games though. But the choice between a free Wharf or Merchant Ship would already be very handy.
New question -- what happens when multiple players have
Prince-Possession going?
