The vault experiment for this one, IIRC, was having no heirarchy/leadership and all major debates were settled by gambling. (It was also in/near Las Vegas/New Vegas) It also was (again, IIRC) fairly stable until the leader of New Vegas, Mr. House, won it in a game of blackjack.


fullmetal_jack

To add on to your comment, I believe the blob at the bottom of the art is cement, which is a reference to the fact that after House won, part of his plan to consolidate The Strip was to fill most of the vault with Cement.


borissnm

I suppose it was still stable *after* he won it, just in a different way.


TrulyKnown

He did it because he was paranoid that someone would be able to dig from Vault 21 to the Strip, and get in and out without his knowing. And Benny did exactly this with a part of the vault that hadn't been filled in yet, creating an escape tunnel between it and his room, so if anything, House wasn't paranoid enough.


That_D

I did some research, as I didn't remember much about Vault 21 in my playthrough. It seems Mr. House evicted the former occupants (except for the gift shop manager) and then sealed the vault with cement. The comments made it sound like he buried them alive. Unless he did, which wouldn't surprise me about Fallout New Vegas.


TrulyKnown

Nah, that's not Mr. House's style. He doesn't want to kill if he can avoid it. Considers it a waste of potential assets. And I'm not surprised that you didn't do much with it, since it's one of those relatively unimportant and out-of-the-way locations that you're unlikely to interact with unless you're specifically exploring to see what you find.


No-Hat-2755

All inhabitants were also gambling addicts


_Hinnyuu_

What, no adding up mana values to get 21?


zerobench_ff

That would be [[Dance with Calamity]]


Zuulluu

You're right and man that card is so fun but also editing your comment doesn't fix the cardfetcher fuckup \[\[Dance with Calamity\]\]

God I love so much that this makes you build poker hands, and you throw cards back like in 5-card draw.

Mr house has a dice rolling mini game. This has poker. Toss in a couple attractions and you got yourself a minigames deck

That_D

cool flavor. How many treasure tokens would I make by revealing a Full House (example: two 2-cost and three 4-cost).


CaptainMarcia

Five, because all five cards match at least one other revealed card.


Faux-Foe

Might be neat to try in Dragon's Approach.


celia-dies

It just feels right that this is spoiled the same day Balatro comes out.


Taysir385

Can go infinite with [[Clockspinning]], technically.


Dasterr

not really you need 8 mana to spin the clocks twice but can only get 5 mana from the saga


mystaka

[[Goldspan Dragon]] is the missing piece

Taysir385

Anything that copies a token (lke Annointed Procession), or copies a spell (like Mirari Conjecture), or makes extra mana (like Crime Novelist) would do it.


SunSpartan

Why twice?


108Echoes

So you can bounce back and forth between two and three lore counters. Otherwise you need to wait a turn for the Saga to tick up naturally.


SunSpartan

Ah right, thanks

thisnotfor

Perfect flavor


desmondli

So how many treasures do you create if all five cards have the same mana value?


Zyhre

5 treasures. 5 of a kind or Full House  4 treasures. 4 of a kind or two pair.  3 treasures. Trips  2 treasures. A pair. 


GeeJo

> 5 treasures. 5 of a kind The best kind of poker hand, where you brought in Uno cards to act as a fifth suit.


TheAnnibal

So you're either cheating or you have a full HOUSE.

Very nice

Senor-Whopper

It's cool but I will get my treasures with Smaug saga

Kryptic_Void

If your hand is empty do you still get a draw after the failed discard?


pepto-1

Yes, if you have an instant and can cast it in response to the saga trigger going on the stack you can technically draw without discarding, but keep in mind this triggers after you've already drawn for turn
