Torturer, man. I was like "Your opponent gets to CHOOSE what attack hits them? This is like the best attack to be hit with ever!""Oh, it's discard two cards, not discard down to three. Well that does kind of suck""Oh, it draws a ton of cards for your opponent to make it really easy to chain a bunch of them""Oh crap I just discarded my entire hand the third time in a row, maybe it's time to start taking curses?"Major learning curve with that one!
I think I managed to skip the whole "village idiot" phase, but I am only just now getting past being a Great Hall idiot.
I have been forced to accept that lackluster play is a town tell for you.
When i first played Dominion, I was never a Village Idiot. I was a "One of Every Card Idiot." I would go about my business like this: "Well, I have a Village, a Milita, a Moat, a Cellar... now I need a Moneylender, a Laboratory, a Spy, okay..."
You forgot the biggest one: Diadem.
Village Idiots didn't get an expansion, but they did get a couple of cards: Vineyards, Scrying Pool and Fishing Village.
Sea Hag - I figured this was like saboteur, an attack that didn't benefit the attacker at all.
QuoteSea Hag - I figured this was like saboteur, an attack that didn't benefit the attacker at all.I actually gave another player a Sea Hag via Trickser, because noone had bought it early game and we all thought it was useless. (No other cursers, maybe apart from Trickser, were available... hm maybe there were already some of the curses gone to justify this, but there still were some)

Trickster sounds like Jester to me, but Swindler makes more sense.

Quote from: clb on July 30, 2012, 11:52:57 pmTrickster sounds like Jester to me, but Swindler makes more sense.Trickser is the German card name for Swindler. Jester is tranlated to Harlekin.
In German or all other languages?On http://www.dominionblog.de you can read the German card names in the dropdown of the main menu.
For me it was definitely Ambassador, such a brutal card and still I don't have the full hang of it.Two other cards I have problems with are Governor and Fool's Gold. I know both are very powerful but I rarely win when they are on the board.
