I tried to make it so it has only a single solution, but probably someone will come up with one thats much easier than i intended.
Adam, Berta and Charlie play a game of Dominion together. During the game, the following things happen:
1. In the cleanup phase of his 2nd turn, Adam draws both kingdom cards he has bought so far. In his 3rd turn, he is only able to play a single card, which is one of those. Nevertheless, he is able to buy another copy of his other kingdom card in that turn.
2. In the buy phase of her 3rd turn Berta notices that she has exactly enough money to buy either a money card or an action card and that those two cards are the only pair of an action and a money card with the same cost in the supply. Although the action card provides no +$, she decides to buy it. During Charlie’s turn she notices that her earlier observation about the pair of an action and a money card isn’t true anymore.
3. Charlie draws all the remaining 5 cards from his draw pile in the clean-up phase of one of his turns. Nevertheless, he manages to play a total of 6 cards in his next turn while his discard pile remains totally untouched until he shuffles it in the clean-up phase of that turn.
4. Something similar happens to Adam during one of his turns: After drawing all the remaining 5 cards from his draw pile in the previous clean-up phase he manages to draw as well as discard multiple cards in his next turn, also without reshuffling his deck. He also does not touch his discard pile before reshuffling.
5. Another remarkable turn is executed by Berta. At the start of the clean-up phase of that turn, there are only 3 kingdoms cards, all of which are different, and no basic cards in her play area. Nevertheless, she manages to buy 2 cards with the same price as the most expensive one of the cards she had played in that turn. Furthermore, she has gained a total of 2 cards in addition to those she bought during that turn. However, at the end of his turn, the total number of cards (not piles) in the supply is still the same as in the beginning of her turn.
6. Adam ends the game by emptying the 3rd pile of kingdom cards.
7. The players notice they had totally different approaches towards the game, since every card in the supply has been bought or gained by exactly one player.
8. Charlie is the player with most different kingdom cards.
9. Despite having only one victory card each, both Adam and Charlie have more points than Berta, who still has all the Victory cards he ever bought or gained in that game.
10. Adam believes he has won until he notices that he is forgotten to count a curse, making the result a tie between him and Charlie.
Name all the kingdom cards in the supply, along with the player who bought or gained it.
