buy! buy! buy!! b- SELL
if you're the only one buying these and you can play a lot of action cards then this is a good bet. on average $2.5 and buy(although you get more later which sucks) and then the fifth one is a distant lands. and buy. that sounds like a good bet indeed. if there's someone else that's getting them, though, wheew. in theory, if both of you are playing them without paying attention to the other, then the outcome should sort of be the same, with the better-later drawback being closer to moot i think. but oh ho ho, that's not how it goes. it gets a lot more nuclear once both of you have to of these. if you play your two, then the opponent gets to play her two and then the difference between the amount of money that you got and that she got is more than the money that you got. oh but there's also the vp thing that you'll get to do. it's non-linear you guys! and it has an odd number of iterations.
-is it all that nuclear? if you have one and your opponent has three, do you not even bother to play it for $1 or $2?
-is it fun if it's like that?
-is 4vp and trash better than $4?
