Dominion - Base (v2), Allies, Plunder


Initial Card Elimination

The Barbarians are vanquished, the Importer is exported, the Festival is closed, the Smithy is shuttered, Enlarge is downsized, and the Pickaxe is lost. 

Notes

As the sole Liaison card was discarded, the Fellowship of Scibes is also gone.  Also, there are no remaining cards that provide Loot, so that will also be out of play.  Finally there are no Attack cards in play, so play will be simultaneous until the first Governor is purchased, which is the sole remaining card that can affect other players.  One the first Governor comes into play, I will switch things to sequential.

End of Game Statements

Christopher Hunt:  Thanks to Chris for working out how I could do what I wanted.   It seemed a short game. Little time to build the engine.   Enjoyable the same for that.  Made an initially bad choice. will not buy a cage again.

Dave Hooton:  Thanks for running the game, Chris.

It was a tight game, and I managed to barely lead the pack only by stealing a march on Chris Hibbert on Turn 9 by using the Journey event. I was able to get by with only one Gold, since the most valuable cards this time around were Quartermaster (in conjunction with Gondolas) and Crucibles to cannibalize my hand to finance Provinces.

Bill Scharf:  Congratulations to Dave on his win, and thanks to Chris for running it.

Chris Geggus:  Well, I bought 7 golds and managed to buy 1 Province. No idea what happened. Well done Dave and thanks Chris. Probably won’t bother with Dominion in future.

Kevin Wilson:  Congrats to Dave and thanks to all, especially Chris, will I still try to learn this one.

Chris Hibbert:  Congratulations to David, and thanks to Chris for running the game.

It's hard to beat someone who can buy Provinces 5 turns in a row! David's engine kicked in one turn before mine, but I wasn't going to be able to keep up with him. My next hand wouldn't have gotten me another Province, so I wasn't able to keep up with the pace.

I also found the Quartermaster to be very powerful. I would have done better with at least one Carpenter. The Cages weren't a problem for me, but I was convinced early on that using more than one at a time would be playing into a trap.

Dave's use of the Journey was incisive. I never found a good time to use it, but I did use Bury a bunch.  Congrats again.
