Trivia
These cards have a complicated history due to major balance issues. The most obvious trashing attack is "Each other player trashes the top card of their deck." However, this has three problems which have been pointed out by Donald X. Vaccarino:
- First, it can often be weak by trashing weak cards.
- Alternatively, it can be very random, trashing good cards for some, but bad cards for others.
- Finally, it can cause a strange game where no one can get anywhere because they only have 5 cards and anything they buy gets trashed.
