Dominion General Discussion / Re: Favorite cards, and why
« on: June 10, 2015, 01:32:20 pm »My favorite card is Fortress!The problem I have with fortress is that somtimes you use it only for the on-trash effect, sometimes only for the village… not as often both. So overall, it feels like a "patchwork" for me.
It wouldn't bother me if the main effect was something more neutral, like Cantrip-money (Peddler) or VP (Tunnel).

I strongly disagree about Fool's gold in Tier 2. For me Fool's gold is Tier 1 for sure. So many boards including FG are Fool's gold games, where the FG split really matter.

« on: May 24, 2015, 07:54:55 am »
Crossroads + Advisor : Simply because it's very likely that advisor draws you junk. Same logic as Scout + Crossroads, but you want advisor way more often than you would want a scout.
Royal Seal (or watchtower) + Border village : Gain Border village + Any good $5 terminal draw (or a trash for benefit). And you'll have a good next turn.
Royal Seal (watchtower) + Death Cart : Topdeck the death cart and one of the two ruins. In case of watchtower, trash the second ruin.

Help! / Re: Brokoli's "How would you play this game" topic
« on: May 13, 2015, 10:43:46 am »
Well, I'm not that experienced with Graverobber but I often think of it like an expand-like card, the "gain from the trash" being a consolation prize. A terminal action that provides nothing when played and gain-topdeck a $5 card does not seem so good for me, with bishop (another terminal card that only provides a +$1) I don't think it's really spectacular, not the same way Fortress-Bishop is. Also, there are no reliable villages, Crossroads give +3 actions once, don't draw that much, the other village being Necropolis. So overall I thought the combo pieces for this combo would be too weak to worth it. But I'd love you to prove me wrong ^^

Help! / Brokoli's "How would you play this game" topic
« on: May 13, 2015, 08:00:32 am »
In this thread I'll post games in which the best approach is hard to find for me, so I would like your opinions.
The first one is my last game played today :
So here I took a long time thinking and finally thought the key card here would be Graverobber. I tried a deck involving Count, Baker, Graverobber, Advisor, Develop, Crossroads and Bishop, I won but my strategy was pretty obviously slow.
Then I thought that Baker, Develop and Bishop were completely useless and a deck using only Crossroads, Count, Graverobber and Advisor would be faster.
My idea was :
Open Count / Silver
Trash trash trash
Get Graverobber ASAP, one crossroad, a couple of advisors.
Start getting provinces by Graverobbing Count and take more $5 fuel for Graverobber at the same time.
I tried this strategy in two other games against bots :
Game 1 - I lost, Villager built a faster Stables deck (14 turns) but it was close.
Game 2 - I won turn 18 (without a stupid mistake, I could have won turn 17)
How would you play this game ?

Dominion General Discussion / Re: CARD OF THE WEEK #8: Horse Traders
« on: May 13, 2015, 06:14:38 am »
Horse traders is very good, I always think of its on-play effect and tend to forget the reaction sometimes. It's one of my favorites opening cards, to reach $5 and have an early source of +buy so you don't have to worry about that later. Also good with Alt VP and Fool's gold. I have a hard time thinking of cases where I do not want to open horse traders (4/3) actually, I think it's just when there is something better to do with $4, like Tournament, Conspirator chain, Scrying Pool / Familiar or when I don't want to have an early $5.
I usually don't like Horse traders after the opening though. About the reaction, it's not enough to make you ignore the attacks.

Would be interesting to do this pool again, after some times we have played with adventures (after they will be on goko, assuming that they will be).
For the moment I think my favourites are Transmogrify, Distant lands, Artificer and Coin of the realm. I voted for Transmogrify.

Damn socialists. In my day, you had to earn your starting cards!
Make a Dominion mod where everyone starts with 0 cards. Your opening buy choices are Copper or Curse.
Edit: Or whatever with Adventures possibilities.
I'll use my Baker token to buy a Poor House, then buy a Tournament, then a Baker, then two more Bakers, then a Province, and get Followers.
you can even skip a step-- poor house, tournament, bazaar, poor house, province.
Poor house, Tournament, Borrow + Bazaar + Poor house, Province...

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Card names
« on: April 26, 2015, 12:19:08 pm »
Overall I am only disappointed about some villages, especially Wandering minstrel. I mean, I can find an explanation about the name, how the effect could be related to wandering minstrel, but it isn't obvious like Mining village, Farming village, or other. I don't think we need the name village in every village card's name, because City or Hamlet are examples of villages that works well thematically.
Card names I like the most (because they fits particularly well or are simply well found) are Rats, Coppersmith, Poor house, Tunnel, Distant lands and Pearl Diver. Oh and mining village obviously.

Dominion: Adventures Previews / Re: Bridge combos (or more megaturns with cost-reducers)
« on: April 20, 2015, 08:05:20 am »Native Village + Bridge works, because Native Village is the splitter, the +cards and the trashing the deck needs. Coin of the Realm is just the village. You still need +cards, and preferably trashing as well.True. I think trashing is more important than +cards though. Since CoTR is on the tavern mat, a hand of 5 bridge + 3 CoTR on the tavern mat is not enough for a province megaturn, but already very good.

Dominion: Adventures Previews / Bridge combos (or more megaturns with cost-reducers)
« on: April 20, 2015, 07:53:16 am »
One of my first impressions reading the adventure cards was that many of them combos with bridge :
Coin of the realm : For the megaturn, play bridge, call CoTR, Play bridge… it seems even better than the Native village + Bridge combo, because you can have a bunch of CoTR on your tavern mat very quickly.
Royal carriage : For the megaturn too, you need only one bridge and call all your royall carriages at the same time. Or even better : Princess.
Champion or Teacher can make all the bridges non-terminal, or add a + buy on highway.
And similarly for events, I would put the +action token from Lost arts on bridge with pleasure (or +buy on highway).
And the events that work with cost-reducers in general :
Alms : Play 4 cost reducers, do not play treasures, gain province.
Artificer : You need to discard fewer cards to gain province or expensive actions.
Borrow and Travelling fair works nicely with highway.
