Title: Two Cards in Hand
Post by: david707 on July 26, 2011, 01:14:26 pm
In a 4 player game, it's the start of my turn and I have two cards in hand (due to attacks). I have no Durations in play and don't have anything on mats. There are a lot of curses in my deck, so if I were to play a draw card I don't know what I'd draw. Platinum and Colony are not in the game, there are 3 Provinces left and I can't end the game on 3 piles. What is the situation given that when I use the two cards in my hand in the right way, I'm guaranteed to end the game in my victory?

There may be more than one solution.

You have ambassador/province in hand, play ambassador to reveal a province but don't return it to the supply.  Each other player now gains a province depleting the province pile.  You win because you were more than 6 points ahead of every other player

Yes, that is the solution I was looking for. I'll have to come up with a harder puzzle.
