"Noble Court"

Recommended with Reservations
"Noble Court" by Daniel
Requires: Intrigue
2 Player Set-up:

  • Treasure Cards: Copper, Silver, Gold (all)
  • Victory Cards: Estate, Duchy, Province (8 each)
  • Kingdom Cards: Courtyard, Steward, Masquerade, Iron Works, Scout, Tribute, Torturer, Minion, Harem, Nobles
This game starts out quickly but has a very slow middle game.  Money seems hard to come by and often requires the use of Kingdom Cards to gain Victory Cards.
