Stethoscope is notorious for this. Let me guess, you didn't have a blue or yellow card to meld from your hand?
"Whenever you score a card, you may return a card from your hand and draw a city of that value."
"Whenever you draw a card while you have exactly 3 cards in hand, you draw a city" (really nice for letting an Agriculture or Oars opener catch up with a Sailing opener. Wheel would seem to benefit a lot, but it's actually not so much, wheel-meld-meld-wheel-meld-meld won't churn out cities as fast as draw-meld-draw-meld"
"Draw when you splay" makes splaying too goodDoes it mean you are fine with "splaying too good"?
[...]
IMO keep the rule like it is unless someone has a better idea.
with the current rule,the player who draws dublin instantly gains 3 achievement (white flag achievement,splay right achievement and of course the flag itself) there is no card in the game with the same amount of achievement power and that includes high level figures
Alfred Nobel has just as much achievement power. Winning in three icons is about as easy as having the most visible cards of whatever color Dublin is.
"If you Endorse and have the choice between 4 dogmas" may also be nice.This is the best idea for a cities achievement yet, very thematic. I like achievements that encourage you to do something fun that would normally be too impractical to set up. In fact maybe that should be the basis for judging them. Setting up Monument: fun. Empire: not so much. History: fun. Heritage: Meh.
I do kind of like the idea of "available endorsement actions == # of top cities". It trades action flexibility for the ability to pump up icons / hand. But that definitely needs to combine with something other than standard actions; using it tuck cards or draw more cities seems okay, but getting to dogma 5 times then take two more actions seem silly. What if endorsement action were a choice between "draw a city of the same age" or "return a card with shared color/icons to double the icon values of this city for this turn"?
