Innovation General Discussion / Winning condition
« on: March 18, 2013, 11:19:08 pm »
No one has achieved anything (1-9 and the other four are still available)
No 10 cards have ever been drawn or played.
With a single action, I end the game and win.
What happened?

It will go back to what it was before -- a really great actual cards game.
With plenty of expansions.

Libraries <3 Hamlets
But remember fishing villages have the advantage of staying in play and adding actions and coin next turn. So in practice they combo very well as well, since you're not likely to draw a hand of 5 villages (you probably played 1-2, even 3 last turn)

Seeing this official cutoff date for the first time. Had to disable Adblock Plus.
Well, it's been a fun run. Four more days until I can start being a lot more productive -- or just browse reddit instead : )

Maybe if it had automatch I would tolerate all the other things that are awful about it.

I think Jack/Chapel is pretty solid. Grab a walled village on your next $4 to trim loose copper before jacking it up.

Dominion General Discussion / When is silver bad?
« on: December 10, 2012, 03:43:00 am »
First of all please set aside the obvious action-happy engines based around conspirator and scrying pool and even minion.
Such obvious cases aside, what are some good examples of decks, kingdoms, and/or game stages in which buying silver -- or even accepting a "free" silver will actually worsen your deck?
We all know Colony games make massing silver less interesting, but can we quantify this more or give good examples of when to "avoid" silver?
For example if you have more Platinums than coppers, silver starts looking pretty meh.

See my lucky break:
— three, three pilin''s turn 6 —
three, three pilin' gets +1 action and +$1 from the Fishing Village.
three, three pilin' restores the Horse Traders to the hand and draws 1 card.
three, three pilin' plays a Horse Traders.
... getting +1 buy and +$3.
... discarding 2 cards.
three, three pilin' plays a Gold and 2 Coppers.
three, three pilin' buys a Platinum.
Kind of a messy game, I end up winning despite the 7-3 curse split.
No chat comments.. for my part I was too stunned to've been automatched with him

I always say Settlers with and w/o Cities & Knights is the difference between checkers and chess.
This is but a mild exaggeration.

Yeah... I guess the main thing is I fully expected to lose to a university/smithy engine starting 5/2, and was really surprised this worked out.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Hinterlands First Game?
« on: August 28, 2012, 12:21:13 am »
New players should never experience Margrave nor Tunnel, put both on your banned cards list 
Border Village
Cartographer
Stables
Nomad Camp
Spice Merchant
Oracle
Crossroads
I'll leave it at that, since all 10 hinterlands is just silly.
I'd definitely add a fun attack and some trash from another set since Noble Brigand and Develop are silly. Maybe Trader. Definitely not JoaT unless you forbid yourself from buying it.

Gaining an Inn isn't super helpful since you have to shuffle actions into a deck full of silvers, but I guess it works if we're apprenticing them.
To do it without KC or Scheme or Inn:
Scry an action-only deck entirely into your hand, play 5 bureaucrats with the necessary TR/villages, draw 2 silvers then play apprentice and chapel (or better yet Bishop them away FTW), and discard a second Scry and Scav it.

I'll mention the obvious KC KC KC Scheme Scheme Scheme Bureaucrat Bureaucrat
But really, don't be greedy. KC KC Scheme Scheme X --- where X is any attack card is fun enough. Drain the copper pile with Monty!
