Title: Interesting Donate Board
Post by: samath on December 25, 2017, 01:30:25 am
I rolled this board today, and after discussing it on Discord it seems like a good challenge to put here. How quickly can you win?

Here's the kingdom if you want to try it online: Develop, Storeroom, Bridge, Rats, Sacrifice, Bandit, Hunting Party, Wine Merchant, Altar, King's Court, Alms, Donate (also require Colonies and Shelters)

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/285903840660946954/394708744019116032/unknown.png)

Here's the best we can do (pretty sure it's best possible): We can get a guaranteed win in Turn 7 from any starting hand.

And here's how:
For a 5/2 start: 1) Donate to 3 Copper, 2) Pay off Debt, 3) Alms for a Bridge, 4) Play Bridge, Alms for a Wine Merchant, 5) Play Wine Merchant and buy King's Court, 6) King's Court the Bridge, Alms for another King's Court, buy two Bridges, and Donate the Coppers away, 7) KC-KC-Bridge-Bridge-Bridge and buy the Province pile (plus a Colony and a Duchy if you want).
For any other start: 1) Alms for a Bridge, 2) Donate to Bridge + 3 Coppers, 3) Pay off Debt, 4-7) Same as above.

Donate+KC+Bridge is crazy  :)

On turn 5, at cleanup, how do you guarantee you draw KC+bridge from a 6 card deck?

The Wine Merchant never comes back from the Tavern Mat.
