...

They all have people drawn on them.

Not the answer.

If it helps, this is a restrictive set in that no other cards share this commonality.

Cards that are named after one person and that you own? I see Governor, but not Envoy, from which i conclude you didn't just pick some random sets to include cards from.

Edit: Oops, forget it, Sea Hag isn't there, either, allthough Pearl Diver is. Hmm...

[florrat]

How do you gain BOM6-10, Fortress, Dev1-3, HW1? Unless I'm missing something major, this solution completely falls apart.

Border Village.

I play three Knights and enter my Buy phase with .  I played no other cards that turn, and there were no Durations from last turn resolving and the only Reserve called was a single Coin of the Realm.  I didn't use Borrow or any Coin tokens.  How?

Your +1 coin token is on the Knights pile, and one of the Knights you played is Sylvia.

That would only get you to +$5.  CotR doesn't give you coin when you call it.

Yep, missed that.

You inherited Dame Sylvia (thanks to the -2$ token) and you were actually playing Estates?

Yes, but you are very late.

[pacovf]

Yes, but you are very late.

Indeed, I cannot read. I shall go back into hiding.

Border Village.

This puzzle is inspired by the one from managore and a IRL discussion on ways to survive a lost knights battle that got complicated.

Goal: With 5 different cards in hand at the start of the turn, costing 2$ or less, get at least 13 vp in one turn. The draw and discard piles are empty. No duration/mat/prince/etc. cards in play. No potion-cost or Adventures cards/events. No platinum/colony. The kingdom is otherwise free to decide as long as it is a possible game state. Bonus points if you gain more points.

Hint: My solution buys 2 provinces and 1 estate.

There's people holding things on the art

Not my idea.

Hint: My solution buys 2 provinces and 1 estate.

Hand is Followers, Trusty Steed, Princess, Squire, Madman

Kingdom has Stonemason, Island, Tournament, Squire, Hermit

Play Trusty Steed for +2 actions and 4 silvers. Play Followers, gain 1 estate draw 2 of the silvers. Play Madman for +2 actions and draw the rest of the silvers. Play Princess and play Squire for +2 buys.

$9 and 4 buys to spend.

Buy Stonemason, overpaying by 2, gaining 2 Islands four times, gaining 8 Islands in total.

8 Islands + 1 estate = 17 points

Can probably be improved upon.

[Sten-Åke]

Nice solution. I really has to get better using Stonemason. My hand was Trusty Steed, Beggar, Madman, Princess, Candlestick Maker., and my gaining was not nearly as good.

[wachsmuth]

Another solution is (with some creative reading of the problem)

allowing us to play Candlestick Maker an infinite amount before our explosive turn. That means we have infinite money. (which wasn't explicitly forbidden in the puzzle)

Hand is Crossroads, Candlestick Maker, Squire, Pawn, Herbalist

Play Crossroads first, then the rest for +Buys, given us 6 Buys

Buy an enormous Masterpiece to gain 40 Silvers.

Buy 5 Feodum, each at 13 points.

Total of 65 points gained.

Hmm, wait.
That's f.ds after jsh stopped posting in his art rankings thread!

They're all f.ds rankings.

They're all f.ds rankings.

Winner!

Assume all piles are infinite.

How many ways can we get an infinite turn where we never reach the buy phase?

Rules: No Adventures tokens and no Champion. They make it too easy. You could stick +Card and +Action on Workshop, and that's an infinite turn...

Hint 1: Silver, Mint, Counterfeit, and Duplicate make up a special subset.

Hint 2: Baron, Loan, and Bazaar get honorable mentions.

Hint 3: Even a Dominion rookie could figure it out.

Hint 3: Even a Dominion rookie could figure it out.

Is it card names that can be used as two different parts of speech?  The honorable mentions work, except that they are homophones for their alternate part of speech (baron/barren, loan/lone, bazaar/bizarre).
