Your friends are insistent on playing a game of Dominion, so you go to fetch it from your cupboard. Oh no; the box containing your base treasure and victory cards (including platinum and colony) has disappeared. You still have 6 premade starter decks (7 coppers, 3 Shelters), and all of the kingdom cards in other boxes. Curses, Potions and the Dark Ages specific cards are still available. You still want to play Dominion; can you make a fun kingdom without the normal base cards?
The following cards are automatically disqualified for mentioning cards that aren't available:
No Estates: Baron, Followers, Hunting Grounds
No Duchies: Duke, Tournament, Transmute, Count, Duchess
No gainable Copper: Mountebank, Noble Brigand, Cache, Ill Gotten Gains, Beggar
No Silver: Bureaucrat, Trading Post, Explorer, JOAT, Trader, Embassy, Squire, Feodum, Masterpiece, Governor
No Gold: Treasure Map, Hoard, Fool's Gold, Tunnel, Market Square, Sir Vander, Soothsayer
(A card in the above list may not be allowed for multiple reasons, eg all 3 of the cards that mention Provinces)
Cards like Rebuild and Mine would be a hard sell but they are technically allowed.
Other than the fact that there are no base cards, the rules are exactly the same. However you don't have to include a Dark Ages card to start with Shelters.
Let's see if there's still fun to be had.
