Rules Questions / Donate / Market Square

« on: October 12, 2016, 01:47:47 pm »

If I Donate, trash a card, discard Market Square, then gain a Gold, neither the Gold nor the Market Square get shuffled into my deck once I'm done Donating, right?

Puzzles and Challenges / Sauna, or Avanto?

« on: September 27, 2016, 11:05:52 pm »

If you have both Sauna and Avanto in your hand, and you know you have at least one other copy of each in your deck, which should you play first?  Does it matter?

I don't know the answer to this, but it seems like something that can be solved with math.

Dominion Articles / Challenge: Write a Pearl Diver article

« on: September 26, 2016, 07:57:44 pm »

I'm challenging the members of this board to write an article about Pearl Diver.  Preferably taken seriously.  Sure, it's a weak card, but I'd like to see what you guys can come up with.

Dominion General Discussion / Hypothetical Vassal - TunnelAction interaction

« on: September 26, 2016, 12:32:15 pm »

Let's say you had an Action-Reaction - let's call it TunnelThatDoesStuff (TTDS) - that says "+1 Card, +1 Action", then a dividing line, then Tunnel's Reaction.  My current interpretation of Dominion rules would suggest that the following happens if you play Vassal:

-Play Vassal
-Discard top card of deck, which happens to be TTDS
-Reveal TTDS, gain a Gold which sits on top of it
-Vassal loses track of TTDS, does not move it into play
-However, Vassal still plays TTDS, giving you +1 Card, +1 Action
-Left with TTDS and Gold in discard pile, an extra card in your hand, and you can play another Action.
-If you draw your deck, you can play that same TTDS again later on in your turn

Variants and Fan Cards / Doubling Events: Shady Deal and Blessing

« on: September 24, 2016, 02:34:16 pm »

Shady Deal
- Event

Once per turn: the next time you buy an Event this turn, its effects happen twice.
-----------------------------
Setup: Add an extra Event to the game.



Blessing
- Event

Once per game: move your Doubling token to an Action Supply pile costing up to (after you resolve a card from that pile, play it again).

Dominion General Discussion / Themed Kingdoms

« on: September 18, 2016, 11:56:49 am »

I thought there was a thread about this already, but apparently it was just a contest.  So here is such a thread!  Post Kingdoms that are particularly flavorful or theme-y, then maybe discuss what you might actually do on such a board.  I present:

Chivalry

Rules Questions / Spy and Chariot Race

« on: July 04, 2016, 09:40:26 am »

When you play Spy, do all players reveal the top card of their deck at the same time, or do they reveal it one at a time?  The official FAQ for Spy does not specify whether its referring to the revealing, or just the discard/keep portion being done in turn order.  This matters for Chariot Race, because if I can see my top card and the top card of the player to my left, I'll make a different decision than if I can only see my card, then the next player's card after I finish dealing with mine.

Currently, Dominion Online reveals cards in turn order, but I'm assuming in most IRL games, players just all flip over their top card.

Variants and Fan Cards / Coin token overpay

« on: June 20, 2016, 07:05:49 pm »

I was thinking last night about what this card would look like.  I've come up with two different ideas, both treasures:

Investment
- Treasure

When you play this, you may set this aside.  If you do, at the start of Clean-up, trash this, and take 8 Coin tokens.
-------------------------------
When you buy this, you may overpay for it.  If you do, take a Coin token per overpaid.


OR

Investment
- Treasure

When you play this, you may trash it.  If you do, take 4 Coin tokens.
-------------------------------
When you buy this, you may overpay for it.  If you do, take a Coin token per overpaid.


I can't decide whether getting fewer Coin tokens to spend right away, or more Coin tokens that have to wait until your next turn are better.

Rules Questions / Grand Castle question

« on: June 12, 2016, 12:05:40 am »

Grand Castle just mentions Victory cards "in play", not that *you* have in play.  Does that mean that if my Platinum is Swindled into a Grand Castle on my opponent's turn, and he has a Great Hall in play, I should get +1 from his Great Hall, in addition to the from any Victory cards in my hand?

Dominion Strategy Wiki Feedback / Cost in Debt

« on: May 09, 2016, 12:36:02 pm »

So, I've managed to create a Debt template that will be added to as more Debt cards are revealed, but I have no idea how to amend the Cost template to allow costs of Debt in, for example, card infoboxes.  Any help here would be wondrous.

Game Reports / Pirate Ship is fun. :D

Last game of Act 3 of the Seaside Campaign.  Get a bunch of Fishing Villages and Pirate Ships and just have a blast.  I enjoyed myself.

Dominion General Discussion / Cards you forget exist

« on: April 16, 2016, 11:02:09 am »

Usually, we remember good cards - Witch, Cultist, Rebuild, Mountebank, Jack of all Trades, Magpie - or we remember absolutely shitty cards - Scout, Counting House, Scout, Develop, Scout - or we remember interesting/weird cards - Band of Misfits, Rats, Wine Merchant, Advisor.  But there are some cards that aren't quite shitty enough to be memorable, but aren't really good/interesting enough to be remembered either.  Cards where you know what they do, but you don't really automatically think of them when trying to build a kingdom.  Cards that you subconsciously skip over when looking over the board.

For me, a few cards like this are:
Royal Seal
Explorer
Merchant Ship
Harvest
Trade Route

What can we do to see these cards get their due?  Do they deserve any attention in the first place?  What cards do you forget about?

Dominion General Discussion / Favorite Peddler variant bracket

« on: April 09, 2016, 12:06:16 am »

Might as well make one of these.  I stretched the definition of "Peddler variant" a little bit to get 2ⁿ entries to make it easier to bracket, but I'll stand by my choices.  I think Conspirator, Venture and Ironmonger are thought of as Peddler variants more often than Tribute, City or Mining Village, at any rate.

1) Market
2) Treasury
|
3) Baker
4) Caravan Guard

5) Mystic
6) Venture
|
7) Conspirator
8) Grand Market

9) Peddler
10) Highway
|
11) Junk Dealer
12) Oasis

13) Tournament
14) Artificer
|
15) Bazaar
16) Ironmonger
