His engine outpaces mine the entire game.  The final turns are epic.

This type of game seems to happen a lot - and often both players get so wrapped up in their engines that they don't realize that all of those +buys with bridges and quarries lowering costs can result in a quick game end
Then one player does

This game also exemplifies this though it's significantly less strategic than your win - on the last turn I started to buy a bigger engine (3 KCs) then realized that markets, villages, and bridges were all low piles and were free - and provinces cost me $2

also: small note - in my game I'm pretty sure I recall that the other guy picked the kingdom set hoping for something epic
