Title: Cute little tricks
Post by: carstimon on August 08, 2012, 12:49:19 pm

Let's have a thread with little snippets from games.  The games themselves might not be notable but the snippet should have a cute little trick that you pull off and you're proud of.

I got ahead in this possession game and wanted to avoid my opponent possessing me at all costs.  He had schemes and I saw that my next hand had a province in it so:
  — Nimbex's turn (possessed by carstimon) —
   Nimbex plays a Scheme.
   ... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
   Nimbex plays a Tournament.
   ... getting +1 action.
   ... drawing 1 card and getting +$1.
   Nimbex plays a Scheme.
   ... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
   Nimbex plays a Chapel.
   ... trashing nothing.
   Nimbex plays 3 Coppers and a Silver.
   Nimbex buys a Governor.
   ... carstimon gains the Governor.
   Nimbex puts a Chapel and a Tournament back on the deck (first on top).
   (Nimbex reshuffles.)
   (Nimbex draws: a Copper, a Tournament, a Potion, a Chapel, and a Familiar.)

If my hand sucks and I have possessed my opponent, I'll play the opponent's Possession for them so that they take my crappy hand.
