We’re orange on actions. Only Treasure/Night/TR-variant that I can find is Werewolf, though Den of Sin affects next turn handsize.

All categories this round relate only to *this turn*, not to next turn.

Avanto

Winner!

The +3 Cards was likely the key here, I'd assume?

Yes.
It seems the Expansion property is almost always the last one to turn green!

Shall we get going with Quardle?
@vidicate, mathdude, thanks for signing up. Everyone else who's been playing along here, do take a look. It's basically everyone having a turn at once.

Anyone who wants to can take a turn here.

[vidicate]

So it’s anyone’s go? I have one in mind, with some crazy twists on the properties. But I went recently, so I’ll wait a few hours for someone else to jump in.

Nobles:	Actions	-	Coins	-	Cost	-	Draw/gains	-	No. types
Sir Bailey:	Actions	-	Coins	-	Cost	-	Draw/gains	-	No. types
Courtier:	Actions	-	Coins	-	Cost	-	Draw/gains	-	No. types
Horn of Plenty:	Actions	-	Coins	-	Cost	-	Draw/gains	-	No. types

Yup, that’s it. Damn, son!
@mathdude is next on the block

I couldn't find a single Action card that worked at $5. So it pretty much had to be Night or Treasure.

So for Actions I had 3 specific, but not necessarily discrete, characteristics in mind that all but about three Treasures have in common. Having 2 of these 3 characteristics (one was the card had to be non-terminal) would earn an orange.

A bonus puzzle: Which one Night card would not have gotten a green, and which one (non-Night) Action card would have gotten a green on the Actions property?

[Jack Rudd]

Werewolf would not have gotten a green, because it's a terminal action if played in the Action phase.

[vidicate]

I have a card. I have some new properties to mix things up a bit. We’ll see how it goes, and if people are like “thanks I hate it” after the dust settles.

• Color(s): Not including the art. This might seem subjective. A green (Victory) card could be graded orange for Color(s) if the card is a Treasure or Reaction. If the card is a Duration, then any yellow, red, or tan/brown card could be graded orange. It could get confusing with two-tone cards. I believe there are 10 distinct colors used on Dominion cards (not counting the Heirloom reminder banners). I’m willing to explain any red/orange earned, if needed on any guesses.
• Handsize
• Illustrator initials: If one or more of the initials in the illustrator’s name are present, it will get oranged, if not green.
• Number of types
• Words in name: As an example, Chapel=1.

Good guess! But I was judging Werewolf as non-terminal for this category; it would have been green on Actions.

I’ll get you started: Beggar

(Subjectively, white (Action card) isn’t close enough to any other Dominion card colors, hence Sea Hag couldn’t be orange unless my card was two-tone with white.)

That’s the one. Bravo! Did you have a lock on that one? I would love to hear your process, bro.
Btw, for the card color I would have accepted Durations, Reserves, and Nights (subjective) as one-offs, or two-tone Night-Duration.

[mathdude]

Before seeing fang's guess or the result, I had just worked out that it was likely a Ruin or Reserve, so it was just a matter of looking through them, and possibly using artist initials to narrow it down.

[infangthief]

I looked at colours, and thought probably we were after green, but couldn't see any 2-type, 2-word ones with appropriate artist initials (Castles artist doesn't have the right initials).
Then I noticed Ruins brown and looked through their artists. Abandoned Mine was the only ruin that worked.

Heh. Beggar was supposed to rule out all Reactions and mono-green (Victory) cards. (And I guess any theoretical two-type Curse )

Excellent. The way I was judging it for colors, Durations, Reserves, Ruins, Nights, and Shelters were at least in theory still in the running — as well as any two-tone cards that weren’t white, Reaction, or Treasure. Wine Merchant and Ghost Town are others the clues so far could have led to, for example. Good work, everyone. I hope that was a fun, or at least interesting change-up.

What do people think about the color and/or illustrator related clues for using in future rounds?

Fine, all good, nice to pick some unusual ones, pretty much anything goes, so long as it is public knowledge.

[infangthief]

I've got a card, and some wacky properties:

• Digits - the set of digits on the card (not including copyright year). Eg Steward has {2, 3}.
• People - number of people in the picture (my best guess if it is unclear). Eg Cardinal has 4, I think.
• Drawpile change - how the number of cards in my drawpile changes after playing this card (assume it does not trigger a shuffle).
• Payout - coins, coffers, buys, favors, VP
• Expansion

Ooo, fun!
