Game Reports / Nice Ghost Ship vs. Philosopher's Stone game
« on: September 12, 2012, 10:33:00 pm »
I'm posting this mainly because of the asymmetry. My opponent (dghunter79) notices Herbalist/Philosopher's Stone right away and opens Potion/Herbalist. I don't notice it, and open Silver/Silver in hopes of grabbing an early $5 for Ghost Ship... and of course I miss the $5 until T5.
I think a lot of the determiner of the outcome was luck (dghunter felt he made some mistakes in post-game discussion, but I'm not certain the GM or Cartographer were really mistakes), but I think this highlighted both the Herb/PS strategy and the importance of attacking early and often.
Edit: Oh yeah, the game!
