Not sure, but if I am right this may be really obvious...
A Village but not a Mining Village?

Tables · « **Reply #2 on:** February 12, 2012, 06:28:57 pm »

I'm not certain... but... if I'm right, Nick's doesn't work, but could we have:

A Village but not a Shanty Town?

WanderingWinder · « **Reply #3 on:** February 12, 2012, 06:44:06 pm »

Geronimoo but not me is a big hint.

A Wishing Well but not a Menagerie
An Apprentice but not a Salvager

Eistee · « **Reply #15 on:** February 13, 2012, 08:48:01 am »

Someone please send me the system, I don't get it.

Tables · « **Reply #16 on:** February 13, 2012, 08:55:39 am »

I thought it was obvious by now.

Well, apparent, but not obvious.

Hints:
It's a word puzzle, not a card effect or similar puzzle
Look for something every first card/word has. Then check that none of the second cards have them

And the solution if you're still stumped:
Double letters

tlloyd · « **Reply #17 on:** February 13, 2012, 03:52:09 pm »

Really big hint: double points for Woodcutter

Ok, this is just getting silly

An asshole, but not wrong.

Tejayes · « **Reply #29 on:** February 15, 2012, 10:26:59 am »

This one might be a bit of a stretch (ETA: never mind, it's no stretch), but...

Ill-Gotten Gains-Rush but not Gardens-Rush.

Less of a stretch...

Puzzles and Challenges but not Variants and Fan Cards.

Annoyed that the thread title doesn't conform to the rules of this game,
but not truly caring.

This thread is the funniest thing ever.

But not one of the most amusing.

Tables · « **Reply #34 on:** February 15, 2012, 06:36:08 pm »

I think we might have just about beaten this thread to death, but not killed it.

Wait, maybe I just did? One can only hope...

You are incorrect, but not wrong.

That's brilliant but not clever. I guffawed but didn't laugh.

What if tunnel was on the board?

Then tunnel would be jettisoned, but not discarded.
