Trivia
Secret History
Plunder meanwhile started out as a treasure giving +1 Buy, and + per Buy you have. It had been its own pile and had seemed cool for a while, but it dominated games, you buy them up as a combo with each other. It's like Bridge but different in lots of ways and in the end stronger. Even the half-pile version bugged me, and finally I replaced it with a straight treasure version of Monument. It cost first but then seemed like it could be . I had already tried a similar card in the set that could sometimes go on your deck when discarded from play, but left that part out for this version.
Relevant outtakes
One of the most significant outtakes was a treasure that gave +1 Buy and produced per Buy you had. So by default it made and a Buy. But with other sources of +Buys it made more . You could just play multiple copies of it and build up. If you think about it, it's like Bridge, but gives you the up front to divide how you want, instead of assigning $1 per purchase. It turns out that's strong. For a long time the card seemed on the edge of acceptable; gradually I got sick of it. I put it in the Plunder slot and then killed it.
Why does it cost 5?
It was initially below Encampment, but being buried felt like it meant it could be . I think it would be too good as a straight but don't really know, we didn't test that.
