Friendly reminder to not bother with alchemy

[gold stinger]

Fun game would recommend

[inDheart]

dukes ain't bad depending on how well you can sift through the rest of your deck

necropolis is an action card btw

[the sun fan]

the games last night were really, really fun

the first two especially

they featured tiloco, inD and myself all doing 3 different things that all worked relatively equally well, ending in very, very close games.

60-61-62 has got to be about as close as a 3 player game can get once the late-game rolls around

we rolled alchemy cards in each of the first three games above, iirc

only one copy of one (philosopher's stone) was gained/bought across all three games and tiloco never got to play it

the power level of those cards just does not seem worth it when you're rolling a setup from ~anything in dominion

ime cards from alchemy are really good or really bad

like apprentice I think is a fantastic card, but herbalist I think is a pretty bad card

[inDheart]

the cards from alchemy that don't require potions to exist are aight, it seems like

herbalist doesn't say that specifically but it might as well

during a normally pretty boring game, due to a polite oracleing, the four player game of tiloco, xiz, storn and myself turned into a team game of 2v2. We would combine our victory points at the end. Storn and myself were team Witch, Xiz and tiloco were team Oracle. Each team could not gain the card of the other team's name, xiz and tiloco had oracles and storn and I had witches coincidentally at this point in the game. It turned into a really, really fun game and I highly recommend team dominion in the future. We talked about a few rules, and we'd definitely have to have staggered seating which we didn't have tonight, but it was absolutely a blast.

For team dominion I guess teammates would sit opposite each other?
It could be interesting with attack heavy setups but definitely needs to be drafted for teams specifically imo

[mellonxcollie]

That sounds really fun! Id definitely try that

I gained 5 provinces in a turn ama

[tiloco217]

I really like that during that game we talked about how impressive it was that charu had triple provinced before...

It was when I was also using a lot of cities

The difference here is bank was in the game, which made getting that high number of money in one turn a true reality.

I think he could've gotten another one if there were 6 in the pile still, but there wasn't.

Was pretty great seeing it though! Did not expect the game to end right there and then!

was three money short.
even if I had forged one less copper earlier (making the banks worth 10 and 11 instead of 9 and 10), I would've been 1 less card draw short of having everything, so I would've needed exactly either my duchy or province to be the bottom card of my deck as well as another buy entirely and unless I Discipled a city (I had no Disciples) there's no way I could've gotten that.

I wouldn't mind playing sometime, but I don't know what platform you guys play on. I also haven't played in a long time.

we play on tabletop simulator, which is a game on steam that allows the players to play a bunch of different board games online

I've given you a discord link a few times for the channel we use, but I could do it again if you want. You just have to not let it hit 24 hours without you joining otherwise the link dies.
