Hi all. First long post, and I expect some formatting SNAFUs. If so, let me know and I'll edit. Anyway, on to the results.
Wizard of Woz 3 - loes u 2
Game 1 -
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120619-144523-546b488e.htmlWoz - 37 Loes u - 30
Witch, Jack, Familiar with some TFB (Forge and Salvager). Close game where I inch ahead at the end. I don't have much of an impression from this one, honestly.
Game 2
Loes u - 50 Woz - 37
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120619-143528-192c399f.htmlShe got started with the cursing early and my deck couldn't really get going. I am still not sure how to handle that, and this will be even more obvious in game 4.
Game 3
Woz- 13 Loes u - 12
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120619-142314-8a98fec5.htmlIGG race. I open silver/HT, while she goes oracle/ht. I win the curse split 7/3 as loes abandons IGG for dutchies when we were pretty close. I am somehow able to consistently get Dutchies at the end, while she slows to estates. Three piles - Curse, IGG, and Estates. Pretty much, I win becasue I went first.
Game 4
Loes u -88 Woz 28
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120619-145804-9f6bf38a.htmlAt one point, I was behind something like 53-2. Started getting cursed early. Turns 5,6 and 8 I only had 2 copper, and was unable to do anything. Loes, on the other hand, pretty much dominated me. I started getting desperate and buying silly things. Also, due to my lack of focus, thought that the fairgrounds was a farmland, and started buying them with no support. I closed the gap by realizing this and buying estates and dutchies. Losing by only 60 here was a miracle. Around turn 8 I wanted to cry and hide under a rock. Anyway, this leads us to the 5th and final game.
Game 5
Woz 36 - Loes u 22
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120619-150320-50f66ce8.htmlI see Vault, with Spice Merchant and Stables and I figure that its going to be a quick one. I got out a little faster, and ride the Vault to a victory. Had the starting order been switched, I am not sure I would still have won.
After a bit of a miscommunication about the starting time (becoming a theme for me), we finished in about 40 minutes. Loes u was a great competitor.
Any input would be appreciated, but I am not sure my strategies can be fixed or tweaked by a paragraph.
