Contest #236 is simple but quite restrictive: Design an Intrigue card.

It doesn't need to replace any card from Intrigue, but needs to fit the theme of choices or duality.

No Horses, Coffers, Exile, Duration, or horizontal card-shaped things, etc.

Just a simple card with choice or duality.

Monastic Village
$4 - Action
+1 Action
Choose one: +1 Card and +1 Action; or $1 and trash a card from your hand.

Notes: Intrigue needs another good source of +Actions. Several Intrigue cards with choices can be hard to track in person, but this is probably one of the easier ones in that regard.

If I happen to win, I can’t judge the next contest.

Riverside Village
Choose one: +3 Actions; or + and gain a card costing up to .
- Action

The river brings great wealth, but it will distract its people. This card can be either a workshop variant that mitigates collisions and normally can't gain copies of itself, or a village variant with built-in payload in case a village isn't what you need. Just be careful when relying on the +, the mandatory gain might become junk.

Ranch Lands • $5 • Action
+1 Card
Choose one: +2 Cards; or +2 Actions and discard a card.
Choose one: +1 Buy; or trash a Hand card.
You may gain a Silver.

Here is my entry - a Nobles variant that is not also a Victory.

Robber Baron! He's a workshop variant that gives more money the more Victory cards you have in play, including himself. Bound to be good with cards like Mill or Nobles. And hey, you can even trash him to put that card into your hand.

Back Ally $3
Action
Choose 1:
+3 actions, +2 cards, +2$

It looks like aswel the noble as the stewerd, but I think the Vibe is quite different. It is harder to get an engine going, but when it does, it is easier to keep going. And then finish it of with some cash.

This has more of an $2 cost vibe.

How about a Mining Village replacement? Intrigue could use another Treasure and why not an Action-Treasure. Went with +$1 instead of +$2 so it doesn't outclass Town, and I wanted to keep at $4 for Ironworks.

Well, I guess I have to come up with a new idea…

Seems a bit weak. The best-case scenario is that you collide two of these - and then you get +2 Actions, +$2 and the same handsize as before. So that is analogous to playing Bazaar + Peddler (with 2VP on top).

I think this is a $4 effect. If you want it to cost $5, I would have it give 2 VP.

Strictly better than Town. Also pointed out by 4est in the post above yours.
