What if Dominion on Iso (RIP) or on Goko were already coded in Java ?

And by the way, Java is an island (or a set of islands) so good job ^^

Now, let's go on :

public class JavaMat extends Mat{

private visible[]={Players.ME, Players.OPPONENTS}; //visible by all players at all time
private player;
private boolean DeckEnd = true; //return to deck at end of game
private Image picture = ImageIO.read(new File("images/islandPicture.png"));
private Deck content;

public void putOnJavaMat(Card c){
 if isEmpty(content){ //Take a Java mat from the supply
 this.content = new Deck();
 }
 this.content.add(c);
 c.setPosition(place.MAT);
}
}

... until you try and do anything graphics related in Java, at which point you cry and adopt the fetal position.

I know, I tried to print some Dobble Game in Java yesterday (with 12 symbols per card instead of ... I eventually did it, but I actually cried.

Is that, uh, slang for someone from the Netherlands? Because I really don't want to accidentally put Davio on my deck during a game.

Was anybody else confused as to why Lab couldn't also cost $3 if Village could since it was just the opposite when they played their first game with both? I was.

It took me a few games to appreciate that "+1 Card" did not increase your handsize.

All this talk about a Treasure Chest expansion got me thinking about some really bad contest entry ideas:

Intrigue:

Earl--$6
Action/Victory

2 VP
Choose one: Choose 2 cards from your hand and either trash them or discard them, your choice, then draw 3 cards and discard one of them, your choice; OR each opponent chooses to either gain a curse or two coppers, their choice, or reveals their hand to you, and discards a card that you choose.

~~~

Seaside:

Boat--$4
Action/Duration

+1 Action
If you have at least 3 Boat Tokens, +$3. Otherwise, +$1.
If this is the first turn Boat is in play, take 2 Boat Tokens. Otherwise, return a Boat Token.
If you have no Boat Tokens, discard Boat.

~~~

Alchemy:

Transmogrify--PPP
Action

Trash a potion from your hand. If you do, gain a Province.

~~~

Cornucopia:

Spice of Life--$4
Action

+1 Action
Reveal your hand. If there are no duplicate cards in it, reveal the top 4 cards of your deck, then discard them. If there were no duplicates revealed (including the cards from your hand), gain a Prize (from the Prize pile) into your hand.

~~~

Prosperity:

Scrooge McDuck's Pile of Money--$7
Treasure

$2
When you play this, if there are at least 5 Treasure cards in play (including this one), +2 VP.

~~~

Hinterlands:

Foreign-Looking Guy--$4
Action

+1 Action
Gain a card costing up to $4.
----
When you gain this, each player (including you) gains two Coppers. Then, gain a card with cost equal to the number of cards you gained this turn (including this one).

~~~

Dark Ages:

Bats--$3
Action/Looter/Knight (why not)

+1 Card
+1 Action
Gain a Spoils from the Spoils pile, a Copper, and a Ruins.
----
When you trash this, gain 2 Bats.

~~~

Guilds:

Stock Exchange--$6+
Victory

Worth 2 VP for every 5 Coin Tokens you have, rounded down.
----
When you buy this, you may overpay for it. For each $1 you overpaid, take a Coin Token.

~~~

Base:

Bathroom--$2
Action

+2 Cards
+1 Buy
...yup, that's it

[sudgy]

Actually, making your opponents choose to gain a curse or a copper could be an interesting attack...

[Asper]

Bats--$3
Action/Looter/Dark Knight (why not)

+1 Card
+1 Action
Gain a Spoils from the Spoils pile, a Copper, and a Ruins.
----
When you trash this, gain 2 Bats.

I'll admit, I cracked up a little.

It took me a few games to appreciate that "+1 Card" did not increase your handsize.

I once played a game against someone who bought a veritable number of schemes, and each turn would put them back on top of his deck - no other actions, always schemes. It wasn't the bane or anything, there was no reasonable edge case for doing it. After the game I tried to find out why, and got into a conversation where he said he needed them to increase handsize, and I tried to explain why that didn't work. He seemed genuinely confused and admitted his hands didn't seem any bigger even though he thought they should have been.

Fortress is correct, yeah. It probably has other reasons it's a bad card, but infinite loop with Fortress is the biggest issue. You can fix it with different wording, but it'd still be a mostly bad card (main use being very early game, where you can turn Estates into Coppers and Coppers into nothing - and probably your opening $3 into a $2 or Copper).

[Warfreak2]

Trash your hand. For each card you trashed, gain a card costing less.

[Witherweaver]

Trash your hand. For each card you trashed, gain a card costing less.

Though you trash simultaneously and gain sequentially.. I don't think it creates a problem, but it seems a little weird because you have to go back and order a thing without an ordering.

Inn $6 Action

Royal Market $6* Action

This costs $1 more for every treasure you have in play.

It's already in the rules that if multiple things happen to the same player at the same time, that player chooses which order to do them in (for example, sometimes the order you discard cards in the clean-up phase matters).

Yeah, that.

Right, but in Develop, everything has an order.  First, you trash a card.  Then, you gain two cards.  You choose an ordering for the gaining.

In the proposed card, you trash a collection of cards.  Then you go back to that collection and invoke an ordering to do the gaining, because each thing you do depends on the data of the trashed card (its cost).  It's not that the gaining is happening all at once and you pick the order (like Develop), it's that the trashing was done together and you have to go back for each trashed card and do something for that trashed card.

Okay, it's a nit-picky distinction.

[Tables]

What's this, a confusing rules situation from a card in the bad cards thread?!?

I guess if you really wanted to you could do something like: "Set aside all cards in your hand. Trash one of the set aside cards and gain a card costing less than it. Repeat this until you have no cards set aside in this way." I think that works.

Annoying Technical Card

When another player would gain a card, you may reveal this from your hand.  If you do, return a card from your hand to the supply.
