I wanted to share a house rule we use when playing IRL:

In games with Sea hag available, if there are no curses in the supply when you play the Sea Hag, it is a Saboteur.  We figured Sea Hag wasn't painful enough...

For the time being, that's the only change.  As it makes for a 4-cost Saboteur starting in the mid-game, we contemplated upping the cost of Sea Hag after curses were gone, but decided to leave it since by that point the price didn't make that big a difference.

I would note that we only do this if we have three or more players.

Oh gosh.

You have arguably the most powerful $4 card, tempered only by the fact it hurts for a short time, and make it become arguably even more powerful halfway through the game?

Is there even a single game where Sea Hags don't get bought?

And, really, the difference between $4 and $5 doesn't really matter in a game where you have the curses gone by about turn 8 (I'm assuming everyone is getting at least two Sea Hags... little reason not to)

April fools was last week.

To be clear, we implemented this only for fun, with no regard to balance.  It's painfully silly, or sillily painful, or both.

One plus is that it forces us to come up with alternate strategies to combat the ridiculousness.

Like playing Settlers, or perhaps Monopoly?

I like the idea, but maybe it works better with something like Swindler's power. When curses are gone it is a Swindler without the +2 coins. Still ridiculous but at least somewhat playable.
