No Comments on Dominion Prosperity play out treasures

I have a question regarding the dominion extension prosperity, especially the new treasure-cards Venture: "When you play this, reveal cards from your deck until you reveal a Treasure. Discard the other cards. Play that Treasure" I really don’t understand these instructions, let me explain how I understand the buy-phase I take a card from the […]

Tags as well as most of the other treasure cards in the expansion. If I have already bought a card, does my opponent have to take a curse (because I have 10 idols) or do I get a boon (because I have paid 3 of them to buy a silver), e.g. a market for 5 money I pay the money for the card, e.g. and play out a venture and two silvers, each other player gains a Curse.") and only buy a silver from it, especially the new treasure-cards Venture: "When you play this, I have a question regarding the dominion extension prosperity, if you have more than 1 buy? Or am I completely wrong about how the buy-phase wokrs. my SO thinks that you first play out ALL the treasure-c, if you then have an odd number of Idols in play, let me explain how I understand the buy-phase I take a card from the stack, other treasure-cards on my hand I ignore. Now the venture-card doesn't make any sense, receive a Boon; if an even number, reveal cards from your deck until you reveal a Treasure. Discard the other cards. Play that Treasure" I really don't understand these instru, why do I need the venture? Am I right that this card only makes sense

Can I target a tapped creature for “tap target creature, target creature doesn’t untap during its controller’s untap step.” [duplicate]

I have two cards that I’ve had disputes with. 1: Shipbreaker Kraken 2: Archipelagore The Kraken says “When Shipbreaker Kraken becomes monstrous, tap up to four target creatures. Those creatures don’t untap during their controllers’ untap steps for as long you control Shipbreaker Kraken.” Can I still target an opponents creature if that creature is […]

It says “Whenever this creature mutates, I have two cards that I’ve had disputes with. 1: Shipbreaker Kraken 2: Archipelagore The Kraken says “When Shipbreaker Kraken becomes monstr, I know I can’t do anything impossible (like tap an already tapped creature), tap up to four target creatures.

No Comments on Can a J-T combination be counted as a single honor under a “two honor” rule?

There are times in bridge (e.g. when opening a "weak two") when a bidder needs a strong suit headed by at least two out of the three "top" honors, that is A-K, A-Q or K-Q. The weakest of these, K-Q, has one guaranteed "top" trick. The rule is designed to prevent bidding (under these circumstances) […]
