Two Intrigue/Enterprise games today.
• Redistrict wasn't a big player. I worry that the $0 price tag makes it unattractive. "This costs $0, it must be weak." But probably I try this version a while longer. It's been fine in other games.
• The new Auction (with Reaction) was popular. Early on I used it to discard 3 Estates after playing Harbor, which was nice. It was a Minion game and the Reaction got used a lot. The top three of the final four scores were 32, 31, and 30. The winning player had zero Minions. I (at 31 VP) had three, and I think the 3rd place player had 6 of them.
• Jubilee was bought a bit, despite there being a lack of +Buy in the kingdom. Seaway was available, but only one player (the winning player) bought it. I hadn't printed out the new version, so we were using the version that went back to its pile immediately, but that wasn't a factor this game.
• Floodgate was mostly bought toward the end of its game, though I got one once earlier to put a dead Nobles into my next hand, along with a Copper.
• One new player liked Gambler. Man it remains a popular card. Guess I'm keeping it around for a while.
• Tinker seemed good and was popular, though I didn't get any myself, choosing to trash with Dignitaries (it was the Minion game, so no shortage of Attacks played).
• Dignitary still seems fine in its current state. I briefly tried a [once-per-turn trash a hand card] version of the reaction, but I like this [discard this, trash a hand card, draw 2] version fine and I think it's less confusing.
• My first IRL game with Stockpile. Seemed strong, but of course it's a Copper when you're not paying a token. I think it's stronger than e.g. Talisman, but that's totally fine. It's definitely not strictly better. It got weaker once the Nobles ran out.
• Harbor seems solid, and that's the best thing I can say about it. I don't think most people find it exciting, but it pays the bills, so to speak. If I eventually have enough good cards, probably I replace it someday.
• Vendor got bought. One of my regular playtesters still thinks it's no good without other ways to amass tokens, but man I like it fine so far.
