I also had this idea, but unfortunately, this will lock out people on many boards. You just select a terminal, and their turn is dead.
PPE'd!
Moo.
To follow in last week's footsteps, this is also a pile of 20 cards.
You can always milk your many Cows for a nice bucket of mil- I mean Silvers.
OK, I will try something Chinese.
Spring is a special season in Chinese classical poetry. (Of course, the other three seasons are special too.) I selected a very famous and storytelling Tang poem about spring:Quote题都城南庄 Written in a Village South of the CapitalI design a Victory card with Heirloom, trying to tell a story about the poet's memories and peach blossoms:
（崔护 Written by Cui Hu, translated by Xu Yuanchong）
去年今日此门中，
In this house on this day last year a pink face vied;
人面桃花相映红。
In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side.
人面不知何处去，
I do not know today where the pink face has gone;
桃花依旧笑春风。
In vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full blown.QuotePoem Notes

Heirloom: Poem Notes
The Rain is not Exiled from hand.Alright so I keep looking at what I submitted before and it doesn't really do what I wanted it to. So here's my revised submission, for better or worse:
Rainmaker still builds up the clouds by pseudo-trashing. I did like the limit on the old one, but I don't like the sound of "Discard up to 3 Rain from Exile" which would be the equivalent here. Anyways it gains a Rain in addition to the Exiled one, if you Exile like a Silver or a Duchy, which opens the floodgates and you can have a nice storm to bless your crops.
Notes: Rain costs $2 so that you can't just Exile it with Rainmaker to get extra Rain.
Rainmaker says "Exile a Rain" because I can't say "from the Supply" if it's not in the Supply, and "from the non-Supply" sounds stupid to me.
Rain ended up pretty similar to Figurehead but that wasn't the goal. At first it was a Treasure that gave +2 Cards, but that was basically a slightly worse Horse. This had more of the feel I was going for: it stacks up for simultaneous effect, rather than playing and returning in a chain like Horses/Spoils.
It has an accountability problem. How can I prove that I don't have a Rain in hand?
It does not care whether I actually Exiled a Rain. Is it intended?

But Lab + Village is $8 and 2 Buys.Looks too good. If you play them consistently they are half of Lab + Village which is obviously too good at $3. And this just looks at the cantrip and ignores the extra options and flexibility.
I disagree. The pure Lost City effect here costs $6 and 2 buys, which I think is a reasonable price. In this case, since you need to wait to draw the second card to get the Lost City effect, you expect to get that later in your turn which means decreased reliability compared to OG Lost City. And the other combinations arenīt that strong either, they definitely donīt warrant costing $4.
Also, this doesn't interact too well with the Journey token cards.
My submission:QuoteYoung Knight $3) Action - Knight
Choose one: +2 Cards; or +2 Actions; or +2 Buys; or +$2.
(This is not in the Supply.)QuoteChivalrous Trait
When you gain a Chivalrous card, gain a Young Knight. After you play a Chivalrous card, play any number of Young Knights from your hand.
My submission is Young Knight, a non-Supply card that lets the player get +2 of any vanilla bonus, and Chivalrous, a Trait that interacts with YK. YK is a fairly weak card on its own. Although it offers all 4 vanilla bonuses, you only get +2 per card, giving effects like Moat and Necropolis when just played from your hand. However, designs using it also provide the opportunity for a player to play a chain of them, making them must stronger. There are 20 YKs in their pile.
Here, the Trait Chivalrous both allows you to gain YK (when you gain the card from the pile) and to play them (when you play it).
When I have 4 Coppers in hand, do I discard 3, or 4?QuoteGambling House - $3
Action
+2 Actions
You may choose either or both: +1 Card, +$1; or +2 Cards, +1 Buy.
If you drew any cards, reveal your hand and discard the duplicates.
Sort of an inverse Menagerie. The payoff can be immense, but how much will you push your luck?
Kings feast: A throne room where you can make it become a Kings court by giving each other player a copy of the played Action card.QuoteKings feast - $5 - Action
You may play an Action card from your hand twice. You may give each other player a copy of that card. If you did, replay the Action card.
A concern of mine is that a infinite loop may be possible with this, is that the case?
Considering playing the Estate is the equivalent of playing a single Village, maybe there are games where you'd rather trash said Estates and use Sanctum as an expensive Great Hall for scoring extra.
It's the equivalent of playing a Village and a Laboratory (assuming that the Estate would otherwise sit irrelevant in your hand). Which, to me, makes this too strong for(but too weak for
).

Trash this.
Trash a card from your hand, if it's an Action card, gain a Loot.
Firebird's Feather

+1 Buy
You may gain a card from Trash into your hand.
"Into your hand" is mostly for gaining an odd Copper when you are short of $1.
Perhaps better wording: "Trash this and a card from your hand. If you trashed 2 Action cards, gain a loot." Consistent with Treasure Map.

When something causes you to reveal this (using the word "reveal"), +1 Card.
When does "the start of your Clean-up" end?When nothing left to do at "the start of your Clean-up"! And when you don't want to use optional things for that.I have played 2 Fishermans and 1 Improve. No card is in my discard pile. Can I discard a Fisherman and trash the other to gain a Gold?No!
It sure is tempting to empty 2 piles out instantly, or 3 if you gain Border Villages. Perhaps a bit too easy an end-game condition.
Also, with different backs, how will players 'shuffle' their deck? Keep going until all the Temptations are where they want them to be, or will there be a special rule like with Stash?
