Played a 4 player game. First time playing with embargo (don't own Seaside; used blank cards) and it is pretty fun. I TR'ed Nobles but didn't win. There are quite a few combinations, so I will try to play it again.

I just joined and am curious why the kingdom cards are first edition (ie base set shows chancellor and spy) and don't even show second edition (ie artision) or am I doing something wrong?
