Sorry about the lousy photoshopping, but I'm actually pretty bad at photoshop, and I did this in a rush. But I still thought it was funny.

As a side note, every time I saw the envoy card, I for some reason read it as evony. Maybe the first time I saw it was right after reading one of those "gripe about the ads" threads. As soon as I did, I knew I had to make this.

I would change the text to say that a player can block it by sending the designer $15/year.

How about,
Block by revealing and Trashing a Gold then draw two Coppers to your hand.

or... block with an "I support BGG" card. (noob question: does that make the ads go away?)

woohoo! my first item to ever make one of the "hot lists" on the front page. Thanks guys.

And thanks for the suggestions. Honestly, this was not really intended to be a serious card. I'm sure it could be made into one, but I mainly just wanted a joke. If you really want it to be a playable joke, feel free. I will laugh very hard if I find this or similar in play somewhere, or if someone at BGG.con has it in their set as a bonus card.

If you are a BGG patron ($25 donation), you get adblock for a year yes. I'm not entirely sure, but I think I recall reading you can also purchase adblock with GG?

playing an evony card where the word "evony" is smaller and the boobs are bigger than the first card blocks the initial effect, and causes the initial player to discard down to 2

No, because it can't be blocked.

This series of ads deserves to be mocked like no other. I could go on and on about the ways in which the people behind "Evony" are pathetic.

Anyway, I wish I had thought to do this first, but even though I didn't, I'm glad somebody did!

Brilliant! Don't be shy about the photoshopping, it looks really nice, the white on the sides of the evony graphic jump out a bit, but everything else is spot-on.

Someone should create a card that protect you from Evony, called "Ad blocker"

This was truly excellent!

I wish I knew how to use Photoshop, because I instantly had a reaction card:

CONCENTRATION (cost 3)

[Adblock Plus logo for the image]

+1 Coin and
Choose one: +1 Card, +1 Action

--------------------

When another player plays a distraction card, you may reveal this from your hand. If you do, you may trash a treasure from your hand and gain a treasure costing up to 3 coins more, place it on top of your deck.
