Rules Q&A

• Q: I'm like 90% certain that's how it would work. If you played all Wealth tokens as +1 GP Wealth tokens, cards like The Mikado, Secluded Waystation, Forest Killer Cavern would always count double. Considering that would break the intent of this:
  A: Hm. Pre-Coils of Madness, the gold production bonus from Wealth tokens was granted by the card that creates the Wealth token. As of CoM, effects that create Wealth tokens all create +1GP Wealth tokens.
  So there's a disconnect between them.
  Like, Nogoten's bow gives out -2C poison tokens, unlike the frequent -1/-1 ones from Emperor. Game's just like that.
  Tbf, the only card that would get complicated if you changed all the pre-CoM cards to work like the CoM+ cards is Sennin.
  Bad example, I misremembeed the card (edited now); but you get my point.
  As in, Secluded Waystation probably should just be
  After the first time each turn this Holding produces Gold, put a +1GP Wealth token on it. (bow) Produce 2 Gold. Cornered Market:
  Political Limited: Bow your target performing Courtier to give a target Holding a +1 GP Wealth token.
  A fair point, but it's a fine line between fixing those or just leaving the odd interaction so they work as printed and you don't have to consult the Oracle about them? :/ Alex Jones and Brook Cunningham, "Oracle of the Void #rules", 24 Apr 2023
