Title: Embargo the pile you bought from
Post by: Jeebus on May 31, 2022, 06:33:46 am
I know Embargo is out, but this is an explanation from my rules document.

I buy a Village, then I gain an Embargo because of Haggler, and I play that Embargo with Innovation, choosing the Village pile. I'm still doing when-buy stuff for Village. Do I have to gain a Curse?

With the current Embargo version, I assume yes. I create a new when-buy, I have to resolve it now.
With the original Embargo version, I assume no. It's a global rule that you gain 1 Curse per token, and I could choose to resolve that rule first, before gaining the Embargo.

"Trash this to add an Embargo token to a Supply pile. (For the rest of the game, when a player buys a card from that pile, they gain a Curse.)"

This of course goes however all those other rulings go; it's not novel.

"When a player buys a card, he gains a Curse card per Embargo token on that pile."

This has an implicit "in games using this" and yes you could resolve it first.

Thanks. It's hard to keep it straight in my head sometimes, so I needed confirmation that I'm not crazy.
