Code: [Select]

Succession
$4 Action

You may plan an Action card from your hand twice.  Trash it.  Gain two copies of a Card costing 1 less than it.

Hopefully fairly clear: Half procession, half stonemason.  I think it's possibly stronger as a $4 than as a $3 due to self synergy.

Code: [Select]

Sanction
$2 Action

Choose one: +2 Cards; or +2 Actions; or +$2

Trash this card.  Put a Sanction token on top of a Kingdom pile.

-------

If anyone plays a card with a Sanction token on it: Return it to the supply. Then then choose one per Sanction token: +2 Cards; or +2 Actions; or +$2

Hopefully clear.  I'm aiming for something that you can either try to scupper your opponent with (forcing them to return a key engine component to the supply), or help you by building up a powerful one-shot card.

I'm slightly expecting it to be broken in some way though!  (it's return to the supply rather than trash to stop it being broken with Fortress)

Man, any game with both Succession and Procession would be insane.

Possibly (it does sound fun anyway).  Although I imagine that the deck might bloat making it more difficult to connect the cards you wanted to...

I do wonder whether it should be: Gain two copies of an *Action* Card costing 1 less than it.

Otherwise you might end up forced to pick up estates if you use it on an 3 and there's no 2s in the kingdom.  Although playing it on a 3 is probably pretty undesirable anyway and it would take away some utility (6s into double duchy late in game, or 4s into double silver).  Maybe best as it is...

Any thoughts on these before I print them out and give them a try?

The wording for Sanction is confusing.  For instance, some of your below-the-line clauses don't have subjects, so I'm not sure who performs the actions.  You should look at how Donald phrases effects on similar cards.

Sorry - tried to copy of Embargo: is this better (I had tried to avoid "player plays" before)?

When a player plays a card with a Sanction token on it they return it to the supply. They then choose one per Sanction token: +2 Cards; or +2 Actions; or +$2

my gutt says succession is broken, but it's a hard one to judge.

This also doesn't work. There are never any tokens on the card being played.

Ah - much better - thank you
