Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Two posible rule variations

Thanks.

I would rephrase it such that no Duchy can be obtained before all Estates have been obtained. Meaning you can't leapfrog to the next level of Victory card through buying or remodeling, etc. I think the deck clogging of having to buy the Estates to get to higher value cards and so on would add to strategy.

Variants and Fan Cards / Two posible rule variations

I am new to the forum and hope these have not already been discussed. I really enjoy Dominion, but have been wondering about these two variations to the rules:

1) All Estates must be purchased before a Duchy is purchased, all Duchies must be purchased before a Provence can be purchased, etc. It seems too me that if Victory Points had to be purchased in an ascending order there would be more strategy in when to buy and more of a "cost" paid for their purchase in glutting your deck. So a player may sit out purchasing Estates while other players buy trying to limit them in their hand, but at the risk of getting too far behind in Victory Points. It seems it would keep games closer iin point scoring and add more variety to strategies and combos and deck builds.

2) I know engines are a big part of the game, but it seems to me that a rule that you can not play the same action card to times in a row would be a good limiting mechanism on engines, and make some intuitive sense about an action repeated. So you could play Village, Market, Village, but not Village, Village, Smithie.

Love your thoughts.
