Rules Questions / Lost Arts, Training & Pathfinding

« on: December 20, 2015, 09:00:16 am »

Hi all,

all these events let you put a token to an action supply pile, to get a bonus when playing a card from that pile.
Question:
Do you still get the bonus when that supply pile is empty ? the rulebook doesn't say otherwise but we're not sure.

Thanks in advance,

Pikanto

Game Reports / My wife was quite mad at me the whole evening..

« on: November 04, 2015, 04:48:34 am »

Hi all,
i rarely write something in this forum, but this one i have to share with you...
it was an irl game played yesterday, Kingdom randomly generated:

Peasant, great hall, smugglers, procession, envoy, spice merchant, bishop, graverobber, highway, witch - event: mission

first thing i noticed, peasant could become a teacher quite fast with spice merchants, so i went for it.
My wife LOVES Bishop, so she opened with it and I could trash my estates for free aswell.
I picked up some Witches and Highways along with some silvers. - of course my witches collided due to the heavy trashing, but i didn't care, since i planned to put the +1 Action token on the Witch pile anyway - a laboratory that deals out curses - insane..
Man, she went mad as i played witch, witch, witch..
She never resigns, so i soon even managed to put my +1 card token on highways (yet another laboratory :-) )
At one point she had 4 curses an a random card in her hand, threw the cards on the table, was sulking and didn't talk to me the whole eveneing :-P

Now everything's fine again ;-) but i've never seen her so upset because of a stupid card game...

Rules Questions / Beggar reaction on Pillage

« on: July 04, 2013, 06:58:35 pm »

Hi all,

we had some games of dominion base + Dark ages this evening and we could not agree how this should work, the rulebook didn't say anything clear about it too:

when someone plays pillage, i react with beggar, discard it, take my silvers and have at that moment only 4 cards in my hand.

Does the attacker pillage me anyway, since at the moment when he played it i had 5 cards in Hand ?

After some discussion we finally agreed that the attack doesn't affect but we still aren't sure.

Thanks in advance! ☺

Rules Questions / Forge coppers into curse, even if there are no more curses in the supply ?

« on: May 13, 2013, 06:41:35 am »

Hi all,

When i forge coppers, can i choose to gain a curse, even if there are no more curses in the supply (simply to get rid of copper), or do i have to take a card that is actually in the supply for the same cost, like copper or ruins ?

I had that case on goko yesterday, and goko automatically gave me a copper, not sure if thats right.

cheers,

Pikanto

Game Reports / Insane Board..

« on: May 12, 2013, 11:20:35 am »

Just 6 words:

King's Court, King's Court, Bishop, Bishop, Bishop, Fortress.
= 27 points per turn (yes, it needed the help of Apprentice + Fortress to get that 6 card Hand)
with no buying power for me (only $9), it needed to come down to a 3-pile ending because my Friend wouldn't resign..

Introductions / Hello dudes and dudettes

« on: April 11, 2013, 06:26:47 am »

Hello everyone

I'm reading through the forum for quite some time now, but like a couple of other guys i've somehow overlooked this part of the forum as well.

My name's Jerry, i'm 30 years old and i'm from Luxembourg.
I speak luxembourgish, german, french, english and a little bit of dutch too.
I'm working as a service consultant for BMW.

I purchased Dominion 2011, but i started to play it regulary (irl) only a couple of months ago.
When i got my first expansion prosperity, i started looking for other expansions, strategies and tactics for Dominion on the internet and found this forum.

I'm glad that there are so many useful informations here, such as Donald's articles e.g.

I like the community very much and follow the games of some users regulary on youtube, very entertaining

So that's it, i hope my english is not that horrible to read, i'm a bit rusty in writing english ^^

Cheers !

Game Reports / A beginner's game where i played the best strategy without knowing :-D

« on: March 31, 2013, 08:42:03 am »

Hello everyone,

yesterday we had a parlour game evening with some friends like almost every saturday and a friend bought me Dark Ages as a gift ! I was so exited, since i didn't plan to get that expansion in the near future.

So, without knowing much about the cards, or how they interact best with each other, we started playing

As usual we randomly picked the kingdom cards and they were: Altar, Mystic, Sage, Armory, Fortress, Cultist, Procession, Market square, Forager and Hunting grounds.

I do not remember what my friend was planning (*g*), but the first thing that came into my mind was: "hey, i can procession my fortresses and get cultists !"

I opened Sage / Armory and the game didn't last long after that engine began to pay off

I picked up a couple of hunting grounds, a market square and i think a Forager too. After buying the first 2 provinces my friend resigned that game.

I was quite pleased to read about this particular strong combination (Procession / Fortress) in Qvists' Dominion Cards Lists 2013 Edition ( http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6626.0 )

So this was my first Dark Ages game

Hi everyone

One up to 2 more and one less then catacombs.

Thanks in advance
