antony 5 wins, 1 tie, Titandrake 1 win, 1 tie
1.
antony 37, Titandrake 34: Ambassador vs. tactician. I open silver silver to go for the tactician immediately and get the ambassador later, whereas Titandrake does the opposite. We get our last reshuffle on the same turn and it comes down to who gets the tactician first, with identically-sized decks. I do.
2.
Titandrake 36, antony 46: Cutpurse-(mandarin)-BM, neither lookout not cartographers look helpful here.
3.
Titandrake 37, antony 48: Smithy-BM, I do get a FV, a bazaar and (
) a TR that draws dead a couple of times. An early estate provides a tiebreaker for Titandrake and I have to decide to break the PPR, but at the end my better economy wins.
4.
Titandrake 27, antony 30: Ghost ships, cutpurses, lighthouse (and city) -- and a golem for me which worked out fine though I'm not sure it's fast enough.
5.
Titandrake 35, antony 27: BV/governor/salvager/FV, lots of possibilities and I misplay my governor a little bit (say on Turn 10 where with governor/salvager/BV/gold/silver (one other gold in deck) I gain gold and salvage BV instead of BV->province, salvage gold->province which looks better a posteriori).
6.
antony 28, Titandrake 12: Sea hag... and the rest is random crap: treasury, NV, KC, etc. A long and painful game but out of sheer luck I win the curse split 6-4; now Titandrake decides to run out duchies and treasures but I manage to grab my share while getting a province (and another one at the end) on the way.
7.
Titandrake 72-antony 72: Definitely the most exciting game of the set, I go for heavy bishopping while Titandrake gets vineyards, with HT as +buy and NV/haven as easy targets; unfortunately there are no hand expanders so HT is of limited power. I get lots of interesting decisions as he was powering up his vineyards: do I trash my province to get the last one faster or my gold to get some more points? My last province immediately after his 21th action ties the game.
