Title: Max out Fairgrounds
Post by: Elanchana on April 20, 2015, 02:22:22 am
It's been pretty much confirmed that the highest point value you can get for Fairgrounds (without Adventures) is 28 points.

The challenge: Find the fastest way to get at least one 28-point Fairgrounds in a solo game. Assume perfect shuffle luck.

The board must include:
Shelters
Colony/Platinum
Knights
Black Market (25 cards)

Either the board or the Black Market deck must include:
Fairgrounds
Tournament
Hermit
Urchin
Young Witch
At least one Potion-cost card
At least one Spoils-gaining card
At least one looter

If Hermit and/or Urchin is in the Black Market deck, Graverobber and/or Rogue must also be included.

Have at it! And no, I don't have my own solution... yet.

I'm sure you can use CC's empty the supply solution and do this pretty quickly.

You could use part of CC's solution, but the problem is you can't trash too much or else you'd lose uniques - CC trashed all ten Catacombs and Curses. Plus you'd need Potion stuff and Ruins and Spoils (which you can't even use all of).

The Procession-Fortress-Catacombs-Watchtower plan is a fantastic start, but you'd have to adapt it to a new purpose.
