Title: What card is missing?
Post by: cayvie on May 15, 2012, 04:24:34 am: Haven't seen these in awhile, apologies if this one has already been done. What do these cards have in common, and what other Dominion card fits the criterion?

Cartographer
Embargo
Festival
Ghost ship
Horn of plenty
Ill-gotten gains
Moat
Oasis
Oracle
Pirate ship
Tunnel

They could be in any order, and there would still only be one card missing from the group.

no it doesn't

Post by: Quadell on May 16, 2012, 08:29:10 am: Intriguing. It's clearly not the type, flavor text, abilities, set, or artist. I can't find any unifying theme in the artwork. That leaves the name. I bet it can be solved just looking at the list, without knowing anything about the cards... but I can't get it. My best guess is that it has to do with another cultural product that I'm not familiar with, such as "shares a name with a card in Game X" or "shares a name with a chapter in the X series of books" or something.

Post by: Kirian on May 16, 2012, 10:23:24 am: Only one? 'Cause I'm thinking that all of the following fit:

Island
Bureaucrat
Governor
Militia
Jester
Noble Brigand
Swindler
Black Market
Smithy
Contraband
Treasure Map

And of course, to give away where I'm going, one last card:

(Captain) Jack (Sparrow) of All Trades

Post by: Quadell on May 17, 2012, 05:59:56 pm: So what's the answer? Is Kirian right?
Title: Re: What card is missing?
Post by: cayvie on May 18, 2012, 01:01:41 am: Kirian is not right.

Quadell, you are the closest.

The answer is Island; they're all Magic: the Gathering cards as well.

Post by: Davio on May 18, 2012, 03:47:43 am: I guess (Volunteer) Militia would be an honorable mention, since Isotropic uses the image from that card.

Augh, I knew I was going to miss at least one. I thought I was pretty clever with Oracle, though on review, that should probably be an honorable mention.
