Tonks77 defeats bitwise 4-2
Game 1: bitwise 70 -
Tonks77 82 --> 0:1
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/15/game-20121215-141503-b70695b3.htmlHighway, Goons, Black Market, Fairgrounds, Expand. I have a 5-2-start and go mostly for highways and goons. I also buy an expand. hoping I could do some expand tricks after playing a few highways. Later I add black markets and fairgrounds. But somehow the content of the black market is not very interesting (mainly because there is no village in the "main" kingdom), so we both only get to 6-point-fairgrounds. I win due to 30 VP chips from goons.
Game 2:
bitwise 15 - Tonks77 6 --> 1:1
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/15/game-20121215-142451-b443296f.htmlwChapel, Conspirator, Pearl Diver, Haggler and Workers Village make us both go for a conspirator engine. With his 3 hagglers bitwise can 3-pile quite early for the win.
Game 3:
Tonks77 39 - bitwise 36 --> 1:2
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/15/game-20121215-143622-840ee83c.htmlNative Village, Sea Hag, Caravan and Council Room. bitwise has a 5-2-start, which is quite unlucky, but I think his Native Villages often helped him to put away top-decked curses. I go more or less for Big Money, with some Caravan-Support and although I lose the curse split due to some bad shuffle luck I can aquire much more silver and gold than bitwise. Still the result is quite close.
Game 4: bitwise 18 -
Tonks77 37 --> 1:3
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/15/game-20121215-144314-6cac4dd9.htmlFishing Village, Witch, Masquerade, Expand. I manage to buy a witch in T4 while bitwise is a bit unlucky and does not get >4 before T5 (and buys a gold then). He can buy his witch only in T7 after his 3rd reshuffle, when I already have my 2nd witch. My early expand helps to turn copper and curses into Fishing villages, estates into treasuries and 5$-cards into provinces. Guess I was quite lucky in this one.
Game 5:
bitwise 57 - Tonks77 47 --> 2:3
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/15/game-20121215-145150-066f560a.htmlDuke, Silk Road, Horse Traders and Governor. We both want to go for dukes and silk roads. In turn 7 I buy a duke instead of a duchy due to a misclick. This causes me to lose the duchy split 3-5 and seals my defeat.
Game 6:
Tonks77 41 - bitwise 26 --> 2:4
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/15/game-20121215-150700-365ea99f.htmlApothecary, Familiar, Mountebank, Trading Post. While bitwise buys a potion for familiar in the opening, I buy Mining Village and Silver, to increase odds to get a curser before the 2nd reshuffle. Later I get another mountebank and also a familiar. Trading post is a nice trasher. Later Develop helps to get golds and more mining villages from them.
Thanks to bitwise for these very interesting games.
