| Jul 9, 2012 at 13:11 | comment | added | Nick | @Andrew-Vandever Note: Taking the first card out of the randomiser deck is equivalent to shuffling them and taking one of your ten. If you think about shuffling the randomiser deck and drawing the top 10 cards, the top card has a n/10 chance of being from prosperity where n is the number of cards from prosperity in the top 10. The difference is only in when you decide which one of the 10 is the "top" card. | |

| Jan 7, 2011 at 22:19 | comment | added | Andrew Vandever | To me it makes a lot more sense to shuffle the kingdom cards you're going to use, then pick one at random, rather than take the first card out of the randomizer deck. Assuming you have every card out so far, this changes your odds from 5/23 (just better than 1/5) to n/10, where n is the number of Prosperity kingdom cards in play. | |
| Jan 7, 2011 at 21:08 | comment | added | lilserf | My group usually just decides collectively whether we feel like playing with these cards or not. It can actually be a lot of fun to throw ONLY Platinum and Colony into a game consisting of no Prosperity Kingdom cards. | |
| Jan 7, 2011 at 20:55 | comment | added | Matt Blackmon | @Thesun has it right, I'll note that my group often discards this rule and plays with the Platinum and Colony with any set. We enjoy seeing how the play differs, especially since we played a lot (>130 games) of Dominion prior to Prosperity. | |
