I removed Bride/Child from the contest, it was simply unbalancable. Here‘s a new try ...
I‘ve heard complaints about Peasant being too easy to play, and a boring must-buy? Let‘s change this:
Here come the one-shot-tokens.
Visionary, Action, 6$
Gain a Vision.
Vision, Action, 0*
Put this on your Tavern mat.
At the start of your turn, you may call this to move your +card, +action, +$ or +buy token to an Action supply pile you have no tokens on.
When you discard this from play, remove all tokens.
(This is not in the supply).
**********************
Visionary is weaker than Teacher, but more accessible. It‘s sometimes skippable, and it‘s tricky to manage a constant flux of visions. Alternatively, you can call them all at once for little megaturns, which is quite fulfilling (if it works).
Also, I like that true Visionaries don‘t care much about what Teachers said ...
