Title: X Marks the Spot!
Post by: shark_bait on December 13, 2012, 09:58:06 am
My opponent went for Salvager/Farmland to take care of excessive curses in a Sea Hag slog.  Midway through the game I decided to take a different approach to great success.  Before the turn shown below I had purchased 4 Treasure maps knowing that I had enough money density to reliably hit $5 at the end of the reshuffle.  It worked out that I could shuffle in 4 Maps and an Inn resulting in 7 cards on top of my deck, almost a guarantee for hitting the jackpot.  Definitely a fun way to utilize one of my favorite cards!


Code: [Select]
— Land of Hinter's turn 17 —
   Land of Hinter plays an Inn.
   ... drawing 2 cards and getting +2 actions.
   ... discarding 2 cards.
   Land of Hinter plays a Treasure Map.
   ... trashing the Treasure Map.
   ... trashing a Treasure Map from hand.
   ... gaining 4 Golds on the deck.
   Land of Hinter plays a Treasure Map.
   ... trashing the Treasure Map.
   ... trashing a Treasure Map from hand.
   ... gaining 4 Golds on the deck.
   (Land of Hinter draws: 5 Golds.)

"X" never, ever marks the spot.

Then why do you need another half map which looks exactly the same if X is already on that one?

Maybe it's like National Treasure and you need to pour some lemon juice on it.

You need to put two together on top of each other to make the colors and words align.
