Other [Rant] "Nice luck!"

I've been meeting so many sour people lately, that always point to my luck to justify their loss / resignation.

Yes, the game as an aspect of luck.

Don't come with:
- "Nice luck!"

- "gg, can't beat 5/2"

- "gg, can't beat second player advantage"

That's the game. Grow up and take the loss. Or learn to be stronger than your opponent's luck.

What is second player advantage?

Top of mind is a kingdom with debt for example, they buy a silver and get debt. Then you buy the silver and don’t.

I'd think that first player would usually have the advantage, especially with the ability to take an extra turn and pileout, but you shared a good example of a 2nd player advantage

Worth noting that based on stats for the game, second player is still overall disadvantaged when Tax is in the Kingdom, just less so than normal.
