My Submission: |
Crowded Dormitory • $3 • Action - Activation +3 Actions
When you trigger this, +1 Pupil per Crowded Dormitory you have in play (counting this). |
(Updated with my description/explanation):
For my submission, I made
Crowded Dormitory, a village variant that (when multiple copies are used) gain enough Pupils to not only make future plays not shrink your hand, but to boost other Action cards as well.
One thing I found tricky about this design space was the fact that, because the Pupils are used after the card is played, it makes +1 Pupil strictly better than +1 Card, since you can always use it right away (making it equivalent to +1 Card) or hold on to it. As a workaround, I used the Activation card mechanic from
Week 42. As a reminder, in addition to their on-play effect, Activation cards have a second effect. They stay in play until that second effect is triggered, which the player can do during their Action phase by spending an Action. As I understand the rules of these two mechanics, since triggering an Activation card is not playing it, you cannot use the Pupils you get when when you trigger CD at that time.
