Title: The worst game of Dominion
Post by: GendoIkari on August 09, 2019, 02:25:35 am
Played Dominion tonight for the first time in at least a year. IRL 4 player game, with jonts no less. The other 2 players were casual/newish players.

Board was:

Someone opened Sir Martin who happened to be on top. I went double Ambassador, jonts got Ambassador + Warehouse.

My ambassadors didn't collide, but one ended up in my bottom 2 cards, and was trashed by Sir Martin before I ever drew it once.

I got a Silver at some point and managed to hit (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/7/7d/Coin5.png/16px-Coin5.png) for Dame Molly; jonts got a Knight eventually as well. Sir Martin player was getting very lucky Sir Martin draws and plays; Ambassadors and Silvers being trashed everywhere. (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/7/7d/Coin5.png/16px-Coin5.png) was almost impossible to hit, and nothing cost (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/2/2a/Coin4.png/16px-Coin4.png).

Estates drained very quickly from the Ambassadors (all 4 players were playing them). Sir Martin player also got a bunch of Fool's Golds, but only once had 2 in hand at the same time... this was enough for him to hit (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/b/bc/Coin7.png/16px-Coin7.png) for a King's Court that he would never get to play. The other player wisely got a Duchy when she finally hit (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/7/7d/Coin5.png/16px-Coin5.png). I got a City; but it was only played once.

Game ended on Estates, Ambassadors, and Fool's Golds. I won with 10 Estates. Duchy player only had 5 Estates or so; Sir Martin player had 7; jonts had the last 2 Estates for 2 points.

In total I think all 4 players combined saw (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/7/7d/Coin5.png/16px-Coin5.png) or more 5 times between us. No one had (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/4/47/Coin8.png/16px-Coin8.png) ever.

IRL 4 player game

So the worst game of Dominion was an IRL 4-player game. The funniest game in the whole entire world was an online 2-player game[1] (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18602.msg756555#msg756555). Coincidence? I think not.

4 player ambassador is weird. And extra awful when you keep losing every card you buy. It might have been better to just load up on silver and try to hit 5 early and often and never expect to get clean. Of course the real play is probably never to play 4P dominion.

Besides most games with Rebuild, I presume. Though the Knights are certainly good at making things painful.
