Side Effects of Dominion Alchemy

Delphine in Sharp Memorial Hospital Emergency Room with a flat line
Today, the last day before Delphine's departure to Japan, we wanted to have a special day together. Since we shipped our Dominion Intrigue and Seaside to Japan already, we stopped by the local game store to grab the original Dominion. When we saw the new Alchemy expansion, we couldn't resist, and played our "Bridge" card to come up with the needed +1 money and +1 buy.

As soon as we left the store (with the confused owner still puzzling over the "Bridge" card on his counter), we ran to the nearest Bobba Tea place to test our new toys.

Delphine beat me at every game (with the exception of one tie) which caused Stack Overflow Errors in her brain. She was Transmuting the Transmutes, Apprenticing the Apprentices, and Throne Rooming the Throne Rooms. After half a dozen games, she was comatose.

A quick (5-hour) visit to the ER and 10 X-rays later, the doctor said all she needed was some rest and Vicodin, which is pretty much what 80% of ER visitors get. She is all well, and we are looking for ways to use less lethal combos in the future.

ps. She was actually in the ER for a back injury, nothing serious. Everything else in this post is accurate because I say so :P
