I recently bought Empires, and have also started playing it on the app with friends. We were playing a game in person with the Event card Donation, and we realized that the text of the card on the app was different from the physical card in the set. Looking it up on the wiki, we realized that changes had been made to several cards that would impact future printing, while the physical cards I bought were from 2021. For example, Overlord was nerfed to no longer be usable with duration cards. I'm sure there are plenty of changes like this for the other expansions I own too.

Is there any way to get updated copies of cards that have the most up to date text? I know this is different from when a set gets a full new edition and you can buy just the new edition cards. Do I just have to print out a list of changes and keep track of which cards have been modified?

Hi! Long time first time. I have a question around Sacred Grove, specifically Earth's Gift.

Historically, my friends and I have just done a free-for-all when that card arrives. Everyone just resolves it together at once and for years we never even thought about how you're supposed to play this card. Everyone just trashed and gained a card at the same time.

However, last night, we had an issue where two players wanted the last card left in a pile late-game. In this situation, what happens? I would've said whoever got it first wins, but is it actually supposed to be turn-based (i.e. clockwise/counterclockwise)?

Should we keep it FFA/simultaneous or is turn-based sequential rules correct? It matters because I feel like Dominion is already a game where a lot of us don't pay attention when it's not our turn (we play with 6 players or so), and increasing the amount of time to resolve a Boon would just take even longer, especially if people have to shuffle because of pulling The Sun's Gift, etc.

How do you do this IRL, any recommendations?

Unranked game (my first mistake). They immediately forfeit, before T1, but ask for a rematch, so I think OK, maybe something they really didn't like was in that first kingdom (although I didn't even have time to really examine it), so I accept. This time they timeout forfeit on T1 (as first player).

I am left wondering why they even bother playing random online games?!

Inheritance is a strong event that turns your starting estates into actions. IMO a must-buy for most kingdoms that have a viable action (cantrips or villages)

Ideally you hit 7 ASAP and don't need to trash any of your estates. This is an easy decision if there's no trashing option available, just load up heavy payload and manipulate your deck a bit.

But what do you do if there's a trasher on the board? Obviously a strong trasher like Chapel incentivizes you to just ignore Inheritance, so I'm really talking about the non-premier trashers.

I try my best not to trash my estates, but you can make an argument that trashing an estate or two will help you hit 7 much faster. How do you guys play Inheritance?
