Title: Fastest (province-emptying) Win
Post by: The Alchemist on October 06, 2017, 01:45:06 am
There are quite a few articles showing how the game can be won by emptying 3 piles, this one here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=15851.0) does it in 1.5 turns, but how about winning the game the old fashioned way by emptying the province pile? The options for doing this have increased tremendously since Adventures, this article (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/629721/shortest-dominion-game-ever) does it in 8 turns with no Events using double kings court bridge. But of course we can do better.

I've got it down to 4 turns with these two strategies, if you think you can do better or with less Events, please post below:

Method 1:
(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/archive/8/8d/20151104043720%21King%27s_Court.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/3/39/Bridge.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/6/69/Necropolis.jpg/374px-Necropolis.jpg)
(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/3/37/Advance.jpg/800px-Advance.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Summon.jpg/800px-Summon.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/4/42/Donate.jpg/800px-Donate.jpg)

Turn 1:
Draw 5 coppers (17% chance for 5/2 split)
Buy Summon, gain Bridge.

Turn 2:
Draw 2 coppers and 3 shelters.
Bridge in play, KC costs 6.
Buy Advance, trash Necropolis, gain KC.
Buy Bridge.

Turn 3:
Draw KC, Bridge, 2 coppers, and anything else. (21% probability).
KC Bridge. Buy KC and Bridge for 5.
Dontate. Trash everything but the two KC and 3 bridges.

Turn 4:
Draw and play double KC and 3 Bridges.
+9 Buys, +$9, and all cards cost $9 less.
Pay off 8 debt from donate, buy 8 provinces. Win.


Method 2:
(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/archive/8/8d/20151104043720%21King%27s_Court.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/3/39/Bridge.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/b/b9/Baker.jpg/375px-Baker.jpg)
(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/a/ac/Alms.jpg/800px-Alms.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/8/88/Borrow.jpg/800px-Borrow.jpg)(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/4/42/Donate.jpg/800px-Donate.jpg)

Turn 1:
Draw 5 coppers.
Borrow 1 coin. Use coin token from Baker.
Buy KC.

Turn 2:
Draw 1 coppers 3 estates.
Don't play coppers, buy Alms, get Bridge.

Turn 3:
Draw KC, Bridge, 3 coppers. (4.3% probability).
KC Bridge. Buy KC and two Bridges for 6.
Dontate. Trash everything but the two KC and 3 bridges.

Turn 4:
Draw and play double KC and 3 Bridges.
+9 Buys, +$9, and all cards cost $9 less.
Pay off 8 debt from donate, buy 8 provinces. Win.




I'm sure there's some way to increase these probabilities. But I'll hand off the baton to you folks here.

Turn 1: #7497379 if you ignore the passed turns until I had the starting hand I needed.

For the few of us who don't subscribe to dominion.games, it would be awesome if you would make the solution accessible where we can see it :)

Here's the video. Celestial Chameleon would have done it on turn 0.

Celestial Chameleon facts: CC can travel back in time and empty last games supply on turn -1 from a starting deck of 8 Provinces :D

Here's the video. [...]
That was quite enjoyable, thank you very much. It's a shame I can only upvote your post once.
