POV: You are my new black guard eating her sixth bowl of mushroom goop for the day, one week in a row as she waits for the first round of crops to come in.

Seen a number of custom cards over the years meant to represent currency inflation, but never felt they really hit the flavor right, so here's my attempt that I've had in my head for a while now. Also thought some treasure hate that doesn't outright hose treasures in general would be neat, here you can still use them, just need to burn them as you create them.

Hopefully the wording is right or at least close, getting the second effect to read right was a bit tricky.

Edit for clarity: Being able to spend all your treasures for no cost increase is intentional. The idea is to force spending the treasures instead of outright making them useless (and hey, what does removing currency from circulation do?).

It seems like every few months when some surprise hit indie/AA game releases, we get an avalanche of people on YouTube proclaiming that the AAA industry is dead, the share holders of every major game studio are quaking in their boots, and some random cheap game is personally responsible. Don't get me wrong, there are issues with the gaming industry right now, and many AAA studios are in trouble currently for a variety reasons, but I assure you Ubisoft's struggling financials are not due to Schedule 1 being popular and trendy for a couple months last year.

These videos always act like the executives at Ubisoft/Bungie/Blizzard/"Insert Big Game Dev You Personally Don't Like Here" are sitting in their board rooms all day shitting their pants over what ever small game recently got some attention, as if games by smaller studios and solo developers haven't been consistently popular for the last nearly two decades.

Note: I'm not saying that I prefer one over the other, I like some of the games these videos are on, and dislike a decent chunk of the AAA games releasing over the last couple years, but I promise you the major publishers and developers are not struggling financially because of what ever current flavor of the month game is taking off on Steam.
