What are good standard tactics for Dominion? Village-type cards that "fork" one action into two actions are very, very useful (arguably essential) for this - especially if you're running cards that do not replace the action you spent to play them (Smithy, I'm looking at you.). |

Effectiveness of 1000 BWC in practice A lot of the fun you get from a game of 1000BWC comes from the people you choose to play it with. There are lots of people I'd never play it with, just 'cause they're not going to "get" it. That said, it's a fun, game-like surrealist exercise. |

What cooperative board games are there that I could safely play with my wife? @CJD: Every game I've heard of where the players won, we've realized was played incorrectly in retrospect. I've tried at least five times and lost every time. Ghost Stories and I have decided that it's time for me to see other games. Frankly, I think our separation may become permanent. Sure, it looks pretty and promises you a fun time, but you'll soon realize that it's an emotionally abusive relationship. |

How to eliminate advantages gained from the seating position of inferior players? "I don't know any games offhand that are absolutely ruined by this kind of position difference..." FWIW: 7 Wonders would be such a game. If there's one player who is slightly worse at drafting games than the rest of the players, the player to their left has a notable advantage. |

Are the Goons un-fun? It's interesting to pull out the flipside of Goons, that is: What's left after you "subtract" the Militia from it. --- "Friendly Goons" +1 Buy. While this card is in play, when you buy a card, gain 1 VP. (Cost: 2 coins) [Action] --- Would you buy Friendly Goons? Is it overpowered? I'm not sure myself. I'm just wondering... |

Disadvantaging an overly good Agricola player @warbaker: Nope. It just came to me shortly after reading the original question. |
