Title: Happy Easter - with an Easter Kingdom
Post by: RTT on March 28, 2013, 08:12:40 am
i wish everyone a Happy Easter.

As someone did a Christmas kingdom I tried to construct one for Easter.

Crossroad; Loan; Swindler; Militia; Gardens; Ill-Gotten-gains; Graverobber; Governor; Rabble; Torturer

Jesus was at the Garden when the Militia arrested him, because he was sold out by Judas, who got an ill-Gotten-Gains as Loan.
They accused him to be a Swindler and brought him to the Governor Pontius Pilate . He let the Rabble decide wheather let him go or crucify him.
Jesus went along his Crossroad to become crucified by the Torturer. But after 3 Days the Grave was Empty... was there a Graverobber?



As always dont judge me for my english but if you have corrections I gladly take them.

Anyhow happy Holidays.

Probably with few Swindlers in place of Silver, in hopes of Swindling Copper into Curse and Gardens into Militia?

I think opening double Swindler and maybe getting another later on? They could be a problem if the curses ran, though. Maybe Militia as a third terminal?

You know, I've always thought of Swindler as one of the weaker cursers (purely in terms of cursing), in part because you generally trash a Copper along with the Curse you deal out.  But that's actually a boon in a Gardens game, since it puts a Curse into your opponents' deck without increasing their deck size, and it trashes a Copper which is actually of value when you are buying mostly IGG and Gardens.

Its also weaker because theres always that chance you wont hit copper.

My Easter kingdom variation:

- Crossroads (the crucifixion)
- Sage (Jesus)
- Scheme (to take him down)
- Conspirator (those taking him down)
- Feast (last supper)
- Bureaucrat (P Pilot)
- Torturer (the crucityers)
- Ill Gotten Gains (pieces of silver)
- Catacombs (where he lay to rest)
- Graverobber (until he disappears)

I like Militia too.

Ed

Sure, but in a cursing game, you actually depend on your Coppers more for early economy, since the Curses are depressing your buy power so significantly. So I actually tend to see that as something of a benefit more often than not. Swindler's real drawback as a curser is that it can whiff entirely and hit an Estate.

Swindlers hitting IGGs isn't very nice, though.

Incorporate Haggler and Beggar for a Monty Python twist.
