Trivia
Preview
Trash a card to gain another card from its pile; there’s a proposition that’s not usually attractive. But with Small Castle, it means that you can potentially pick up a very powerful Castle later in the game for a fraction of the price.
Secret History by LastFootnote
The very first version in my prototype just had the "trash another Castle from your hand" part, but it became apparent pretty quickly that it needed the Feast option for all the times that it didn't collide (a.k.a. most of the time). So that ability got added before I handed it over to Donald.
Wording
For Small Castle, the "if" is so that one Small Castle doesn't turn into multiple Castles. I still want to do that; it affects how powerful the card is, and better matches intuition. I might reword it today though, because these days I don't like mandatory things to say "if you do." I don't need to rule it out completely but don't like it. It looks weird. I prefer a "you may" typically, though the "you may" is annoying online, where it has to ask you but you sure wanted to do the thing. Here as noted you might be able to say "to" instead. I guess the jury is still out on "to," is that really good enough for casual players.
