Is Innovation working properly in the preview? If I gain a Witch, it will draw two cards and deal a curse, but then - even if I have extra actions and buys - I can't play actions or treasures that I draw.

That seems to make some amount of sense, but it's far more limited of an effect than I guessed for $6.

You can't play Actions or Treasures after you've bought a card.


Innovation makes the Protoplasm copypasta a lot more trivial because any card is ALSO PROMPT (as long as you have Innovation).

Does sewers not give a +2 after playing priest?

The extra trashing from Sewers is triggered before you get to the part of Priest which says "for the rest of your turn when you trash a card..."

Is there a mistake in the Silos wording shown? It doesn't make sense.

By default when you discard a bunch of cards together, you don't have to reveal them.  So for accountability reasons, Silo tells you to reveal the copper.

I get that's what it's supposed to be, but the wording doesn't make sense.

You can gain cards during your Action phase. So with gainers or Remodelers Innovation is quite good. Play a Workshop, gain a lousy Pearl Diver and retroactively cantrip-ify that Workshop.

I think Projects could have been more complicated, like having to build them over several turns or whatever.

How does it not make sense? You discard the Coppers, revealed. And then you draw that many cards.

Shepherd's wording with a verb might be clearer as it tells you what to do but it is not as if Silos is worded wrongly or imprecisely.

You can't buy the same project twice, right?

You can't.

You discard the coppers, revealed? But no coppers were revealed. There's nothing that says to reveal your hand. It doesn't say to reveal the coppers like it's supposed to. The syntax is messed up. How does that make sense?

[Donald X.]

So, although Inheritance is an Event, Projects work basically the same way as it does, right? Buy it once, and you have a special ability for the rest of the game?

You buy it once and then have a special ability for the rest of the game.

"Revealed" means "also, reveal those coppers, so that we know they are coppers. By the way sorry for saying this so tersely but there's only so much room on the cards and if it had ever confused anyone in playtesting man I would have changed it."

Also I just noticed that Citadel doesn't have a Duration clause even though the set will have Duration cards. No worries about tracking issues this time around?

Citadel / Hireling is kind of crazy and probably has tracking issues.

[Donald X.]

They were more complicated, as will be explained in the Secret History. And I thought, these could be simpler.

As usual I named the mechanic I had, I didn't make a mechanic for the name.

We didn't have trouble there. "Non-duration" was considered.

So with Star Chart you don't get to look at your deck after shuffling, right? You set aside the card you want first, then shuffle the rest?

You take just the cards being shuffled, look through them, pick one, shuffle the rest, put the one you picked on top... then put the pile under the left-to-draw cards if any and then do your drawing or whatever you were doing.

My final previews video is up! Featuring three games with markus (we got lucky to see all six).

After thinking about it for a bit, I'm wondering about the decision-making process regarding these. Since you can only buy these once, it seems like it will be a no-brainer to get them every game. The effects are either never harmful or optional, and you don't have to pick a good "target" like inheritance. I suppose there's decisions in when to get them, but I think even there the answer is usually "as soon as possible." I guess the main exception would be Fair, which you should probably wait on. And you don't need Silos if there's premium trashing, or Sewers if there's no trashing. But what about the others? In the end, are projects a little too simple?

I don't think so. Of course something like Silos is a no-brainer in a game without Copper trashing but what if there is moderate trashing or sifting? Then it is not that simple.
I agree that the Projects are simple, too simple for my irrelevant preferences, but this doesn't imply that they don't lead to tricky decisions.

Citadel seems, so far, too powerful of a card.  I've only played a small handful of game with it so far, but getting it (against Lord Rat) has led to a decisive win each time.  And that's without Kings Court in the kingdom...it would be an almost sure resignation if you got that combo going in a game, other than at the very end.  In my first game with Citadel, travelers were there, and Cit + Disciple was crazy-powerful, of course.

It doesn't say "discard the revealed coppers", it says "discard the coppers, [in such a way that they become] revealed".

[Asper]

Logical next step. Guess you could have done this with Events and one unique token per Event, but man, who needs all the tokens. Similar to how the Artifacts re-implement Fool's "Lost in the Woods" but make it feel cleaner.

Aren't you glad it isn't a card?

I'm guessing you can't buy a Project while in Debt?

you can't

I'm wondering if I figured out part of the Teaser:
If I have Innovation, and I buy the last copy of Outpost which is the third pile to be emptied (endgame trigger), then can I play Outpost, and then take an additional turn after the game is technically over?

[Ingix]

The game end conditions are checked once a turn is over, not any other time. Playing Outpost the way you described is in no significant way different from playing Outpost 'normally' and then emptying a 3rd pile (Outpost or otherwise). If it worked the way you described it, using mid-turn gainers to empty 3 piles and playing Outpost afterwards would have worked a long time already.
