You can't say that "Silver is a good card in X games", because it's a good card in the early game in all games and becomes junk in the late game in most games. Often the correct play is to buy some Silvers early and trash them later. When you're thinking of buying a Silver, you have to take into account how much it boosts your deckbuilding speed early, and how much of a problem it's going to be later, and is there a way to get rid of it without losing too much momentum.

Dominion: Dark Ages Previews / Re: Sage Jokes
« on: November 10, 2014, 05:02:49 pm »Thus, if you play 3 Sages in a row, the first two can find Peddler but the third would skip it. Your comment seemed to be saying the same thing.
Sage is an elitist. He will stop for an unpopular Peddler, but not if 2 other people have already visited the Peddler this turn.Sage won't stop for anything if 2 other people have already visited the Peddler this turn.
Sage won't stop for anything
for anything
for anything
Why specify two people? Because Marcory specified two people.

EDIT: Ha, I Sarnath'd liopoil! EDIT: And he got all the respect for it.
You seem to be saying the same thing as Marcory, not lio.
The joke is that you're not playing many Sages after Peddler's cost has been reduced. Therefore your Sages don't stop for Peddlers, for Provinces or anything.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: What is the worst card in Dominion?
« on: November 10, 2014, 02:11:37 pm »Pirate Ship is nice in games with 3 and more players, especially if there are Colonies. Add Haven or some other support and it's pretty neat.Of course 3 or more players can play Dominion at the same time. Nothing's preventing you from playing a game of Dominion against someone while I'm playing another game against someone else!
Of course nobody here thinks that 3 or more players can play Dominion at the same time.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: A strange card idea
« on: November 10, 2014, 03:38:22 am »
There are some issues here. First, +cards are always written before +actions. Second, the way it's worded, each player gains curses each shuffle even if they never bought a Haunted Village, and I'm not sure if it's intentional. If it is intentional, then the card is also ridiculously powerful. If it's not intentional, it causes more issues since there's no way of knowing which players have Haunted Villages.

« on: November 10, 2014, 02:42:05 am »The Hermit thing also works with Prince.
A while ago, I was surprised that I could trash an OGE (which was the last card in my hand) and reveal the Market Square that I drew. Technically I was aware of this, but it's so rare that it surprised me anyway. And my opponent, who then proceeded to call me a cheater.
does this work with apprentice market square combo? where if I trash a gold and pickup market squares I can discard those?
No. You can resolve on-trash effects in any order you want, that's why it works when you trash OGE, Rats or Cultist, but Apprentice doesn't draw any cards until you've already resolved all of the on-trash effects and then you can't resolve more.

Help! / Re: Bad luck or Bridge fever?
« on: November 10, 2014, 02:13:36 am »third if your going for bridges mega turn I would stop buying things like silver and plats and even green cards because your whole goal is to just have one turn where you win.
This is actually true only if KC is present and sometimes with TR or Procession too. You're expecting to have 5 of the Bridges in a 2-player game where going for the Bridges is the optimal strategy, and that's not enough to win the game in a single turn so you also need other sources of $ and multiple turns.
Also, the following isn't relevant in this game, but sometimes it is: even in a Colony game, the game ends when the Province pile is empty so you don't have to buy a single Colony as long as you can grab all of the Provinces fast enough. Therefore, 7 Bridges is still enough to win the game in a single turn, as long as you can get at least 7 Bridges.

Puzzles and Challenges / Re: Describe a situation where...
« on: November 09, 2014, 01:35:47 pm »Anyway, the answer was Counterfeiting a Horn of Plenty (the first HoP you've played this turn) to get 6 unique cards played. Gain $6 alt-VP, trash HoP, gain Duchy (or some other $5).
And it's technically wrong because you don't immediately gain two cards upon playing any single card there.
I can't think of a simple enough wording which makes your actual scenario a valid answer while ruling out all of the edge cases presented in this thread. A shame, since otherwise it would have been a nice puzzle.
