The following (in spoilers) is just me either confirming or denying the claim which infangthief made. If you don't want to know, don't read it. The claim is as follows:
"A question is yes if it contains at least one yes word. correct
A word is yes if it can be split up into yes strings. correct
Yes strings are one or two letters correct
(possibly longer   nope   , but I haven't found any evidence for longer ones yet)."

I will be out until Monday. I will respond to any questions/guesses then.

The wording on this is very unclear. I think it's saying that during cleanup you upgrade one Action card in play (and it's not optional) but the "when" is confusing; it could be interpreted to mean that you have to upgrade all of your Action cards in play. I would reword it to something like "During cleanup, choose one Action card you have in play..."

You do upgrade all actions, I don't see how this isn't clear?

It just doesn't seem that good if you do it to all your actions and it's not optional. Because that means all your best cards become one-shots. Say there's no Actions. Then you're now paying for an Lab which is really an Experiment, when normally you can pay for 2 of them. Your cheaper cards get a bit better as they progress, but you still only get a few turns with them. If you want any engine to be effective, I think you need huge amounts of +buy and just to keep your actions around, and if that's available in big enough quantities your deck, it's probably time to green anyway. Maybe I'm missing something, but that's just how it seems to me.

I think your discard pile is already a card house, so you just take the money.

So is each card its own level? In that case it's strictly better than Philosopher's Stone.

I think it wants to be difficult to get early so the potion fits, but maybe it doesn't have to be quite so expensive? To be honest it's probably completely broken or completely useless depending on the board.

Maybe add a condition preventing it from trashing if you can't gain one costing more (e.g. your only card played was an Expand).

Put your deck into your discard pile, then use to the cards in your discard pile to build a card house. +$2 for each storey that this house has right before it topples. Return the cards to your discard pile afterwards.



Is using tape cheating?
I think so
Well, there goes my strategy.
Actually, if you use tape, it won't topple, so you get no .
Well, you could always push it down. Or remove the tape.

Hopefully someone will be able to see some logic in the set of "yes" strings. Yes

Should I confirm/deny anything that was just said in there? In spoilers, of course.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Dominion: Roles
« on: March 27, 2019, 04:06:16 pm »
So I realize dominion roles isn’t for most avid dominion players, but like I said roles don’t need to be in every game, it’s just available if someone wants to play with them. Isn’t there a thread that’s all about really bad card ideas, if they are so bad why is it one of the longest threads. Obviously everyone loves replying about bad cards.

So I guess roles can be put into that category.

I don't think anybody was saying these were bad. As far as I could tell, Chappy7 was simply saying that they weren't for him.

Just so you know, I will be away and offline from Thursday to Sunday, so I will not be able to answer questions during that time frame. I will answer all questions and/or guesses on Monday, unless someone guesses the rule before the day is over.

Who doesn't like first player advantage?
Event, cost = $0

Flip your journey token over (it starts face up). Then, if it's face up, +$1, +3 Buys.

Combos great with Feast, Embargo, and Pillage.

And most other cards, as you can't move them out of your hand. All you need now is a Copper per turn and you can buy Provinces! Combine that with +Buy and maybe a Village if it's terminal, and you can piledrive them!

You missed the "cards in play" part. My first idea applied to all cards, but I realized what you are saying here and decided that that was a different type of bad card that I didn't want.

Oh yeah, I must have missed that part.

Walpurgisnacht
cost P+ - Event
When you buy this, you may overpay for it. If you do, gain 2 cards each costing the amount you overpaid.
This isn't strictly better than Talisman as the latter can be triggered more than once during per turn. But it is nonetheless far too strong and requires a non-Victory and potentially a cost restriction.

The cost seems restrictive enough. In a way, it actually says "in games using this, you pay pay rather than a card's regular cost to buy it. If you do, +1 buy."

Turning a Goons from to is super hard to judge; but I don't think it makes it too easy to get Goons.

You're not turning Goons from to , you're turning two Goons to , or Possession cost. You still have to reach to get one. Of course, if we're using Goons as an example, you may have a couple in play already, in which case we're turning the cost of two Goons into +X where X is the number of Goons in play, as you could have bought one Goons and got the points instead of gaining two Goons and not getting them.

Puzzles and Challenges / Re: Asymptotic analysis of kingdoms puzzle
« on: March 25, 2019, 10:30:06 pm »
I think part of what is confusing is that the kingdoms on the right are not all valid 10-card kingdoms that could come up in a normal game (e.g. just Hamlet and Watchtower, or no cards but all the Events, or all cards costing at least ). It therefore isn't clear that those are kingdoms, rather than groups of cards with certain properties related to their effect on the score.

If you have 0 actions left, Smithy is a stop card (aside from edge cases like Villa or Scepter).
