Collectible Card Game Headquarters

I started adding some Alchemy cards, even though I haven't read the FAQs yet. So probably not a good idea on my part

In any case, if you'd like to test the new cards, here's my latest update. I've added all the cards except:

There are 2 major known bugs that I am not planning on addressing:
1) Possession: this will just let the AI do all the work for you instead of giving you the choice to control your opponent
2) Golem: Using Throne Room on Golem is OK (I think), but revealing Throne Room with Golem does not work, so I have it skip over Throne Rooms

Wow, that's what I call proactive. Thx man!

Bugs:
I recall having read that there are only 16 potions in play.

And the program won't launch unless you change the name of the jpg file of the philosopher stone.

Seems most Alchemy cards aren't working correctly. Meaning all special abilities, that were newly added aren't implemented.

Example: Scrying Pool lets you draw a card and gives you the choice of wether discarding the top most card from a players deck. Just like spy does. But it does not keep drawing cards until a non action card is discovered.

Other than that I think:
* the potion card needs to be changed, even though it is a treasure card.
* you shouldn't be able to pick the potion in "Pick Cards".
* the potion card should sit next to curses, instead of next to the kingdom cards.

I just tested Scrying Pool and it worked fine for me. I Spied, and drew Village, Throne Room, and finally Estate.

If there are other cards that are not working, please tell me specifically how.

What does " the potion card needs to be changed, even though it is a treasure card." mean?

Update:
-3 missing cards were added
-Added special randomization scheme for Alchemy
-Always put potion next to curse
-changes # of potions to 16
-updated name of phil's stone image

Known bugs (that I will not fix):
1) Possession: this will just let the AI do all the work for you instead of giving you the choice to control your opponent
2) Golem: Using Throne Room on Golem is OK (I think), but revealing Throne Room with Golem does not work

Sorry for the gibberish. I meant, that the potion card needs to be changed to distinguish it more from the treasure cards.

Edit: Just played the new version and noticed, that the AI buys Potions even if they are not in the current setup.

The select at least 3 Alchemy card option might not be working as intended. I've seen two kingdom cards plus potion, and one kingdom card plus potion.

Posted this here as it has to do with this Alchemy version.
You can see that Golem is in play when the game crashes. Not sure if this is part of the known bugs associated with Golem that was written above:

Thank you for Alchemy!

Some Bugs:
When a Swindler trashes a card costing 3 coins and a potion, you can only give the player a card costing 3 coins and no potion.

When I remodel such a card, i can't take a potion card either.

I got the rulebook right in front of me, and it reads:

If a player plays Remodel he determines a card to trash. If he trashes, for example a Herbalist (Cost 2C) he may take a Smithy (4C) for example, but he may not take any card with a Potion in its cost. If he trashes, say a Golem (4C1P) he may gain a Possesion (6C1P) or a Gold (6C).

Thanks for the new cards.

AI buys Potion even if it's not available.

I know. But when I want to remodel a Golem in the computer version I could take a Gold but I'm not able to gain a Posession.

Sorry for my bad English...

Not quite sure what the conditions are for this bug to occur, but I was using universities and the "gain a card" effect stopped working eventually. It was a longer game, 18 count of all VPs and required more stacks to be out.

Also, on that topic, when the # of kingdom cards in each pile is more than 10 the game seems to end after any action card is purchased. Testing that ruined my stats heh heh...
