Game Reports / One of the longest end games I've ever seen.

« on: March 10, 2013, 10:21:28 pm »

We went through two reshuffles with an essentially tied score and neither of us able to buy the last province. Masquerade was great, but, in the end, it just wasn't enough. Fun game though.

Help! / Two Double-Tac games

« on: June 29, 2012, 12:54:30 am »

So yesterday I played this game:

and realized really early on that this would be a really great double-tac board. I ended up losing right at the very end. I think maybe it was a mistake to buy the penultimate province, even though I was ahead, because that let my opponent buy the last one and a duchy to win.

Aaaaaaaanyway, after that game, I wanted to try the same strategy again, so I required HP, Spice Merchant, Lighthouse, and Tactician and started a new game.

 I got the strategy off to a really quick start, and my opponent didn't seem to have much of a strategy at all, and yet he still won. Does Caravan/Lighthouse/Money really have an advantage over Lighthouse/HP/Double-Tac? Or was that just a fluke? I think maybe I should have bought a couple more Lighthouses and ignored the Spice Merchant, but other than that I'm reaaaally not sure how Lighthouse/HP/Double-Tac doesn't have a clear advantage on this board.

This was a really interesting set with good engine potential, but I don't think I played it very well. In retrospect, I think I probably ought to have opened crossroads/YW and bought a few more Islands. Thoughts?

This game was a lot of fun to play. Anything that will run out the colony pile in 14 turns makes me happy

I also tried to hand him some curses with ambassador, but it only worked a couple of times. How could I have played this better?

Started with a 5/2 split and the only card worth 2 was Hamlet. Any suggestions on how I could have played this better?

Introductions / Well hey everyone.

« on: June 07, 2012, 06:39:35 pm »

I've been lurking on this forum for a while now, so I figured I'd go ahead and introduce myself and stop creepin'.
I started playing Dominion IRL in about January. My friends and I have Original Dominion, Prosperity, and Intrigue, and we played pretty much every day for most of the semester. Started playing on Iso in March when we weren't all at school anymore, and got slightly addicted.  I started following the Mafia games on here and decided to finally stop lurking, so hi!
