Is there a reason for the wording on Prince :

... setting it aside again when you discard it from play. (Stop playing it if you fail to set it aside on a turn you play it.)

Playing with translation and their variatons I came to a solution, which sounds more compact:
... setting it aside again when you discard it from play the same turn.
That would not need the "Stop" clause. Or do i miss something? Some kind of unexspected or unwanted interaction?

[Jack Rudd]

Just an undefined interaction, I think; you avoid any confusion by explicitly stating the conditions under which the Prince play ends.

[LastFootnote]

I believe you still need the stop clause. Otherwise you still play it every turn, but there's no longer any way to track that.

Correct.

Throne / Feast plays Feast twice even though it's been trashed the second time. "Play a card" causes you to put the card into play, but doesn't require you to succeed at putting the card into play in order to do the rest of it. So without a "stop playing" clause, Prince would play the card every turn, whether the card was still around or not.

Corollary:  Feast is a terrible card to use with Prince.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Abandoned Mine is a better use for Prince than Feast is.

But it didn't have the clause: Feast would be a great card with prince?

Probably not as good as even a basic cantrip. Gaining a free $5 every turn probably doesn't make as big of an impact as starting all turns with a larger hand and more actions. You don't kick off Prince very early in the game, but the time you do you'll generally be more concerned with playing your deck than building it.

Gaining a free $5 every turn sounds pretty sweet. Remember that $5 can be Duchy.
