New Sporcle Quiz: Dominion By the Numbers!

Hey gang!  My 5th Dominion quiz is now up on Sporcle!  This one is for people who appreciate a little mental math!  Of course, you can also use pencil and paper and even a calculator, but I did these all in my head so it's not that bad! 

Report your scores and let me know if I screwed anything up!
Dominion By The Numbers!

My previous quizzes:
Dominion Cards: Click A Card... (Click the card that matches the description)

Dominion Cards: Hard Mode (Name the card based on limited information from the card.)

Dominion Cards A-Z Blitz (Name one card starting with each letter of the alphabet in under two minutes.)

Dominion Super Quiz (Name a card that...)

Copper can be worth $60 I think with Band of Misfits, but I'm guessing you could get it even higher with some Procession/Graverobber shenanigans.

20/20  ;D ;D ;D

(you can kind of cheat on number quizzes by trying a bajillion answers on the ones you don't know)

Copper can be worth way more.  (see scott about that)

You can't have 10 tactitians, 10 KC'd wharves, and 10 KC'd Havens for 145 cards without ending the game.  EDIT: And, you didn't account for Caravans.

17, couldn't remember the exact name count and didn't think of KC for the max starting handsize one. Also the vineyards question fails to take looters, rats or young witch (but that's kind of implied out by 9 kingdom piles) into account.]

Edit: Realized that I really should use spoiler tags

And Mercenary/Madman.

Speaking of Mercenary, your opponents only discard if you trash cards.

Nice quiz, but there are some mistakes:

3 is plainly wrong. Copper can be worth at least around 100 [Link].

5&6 didn't specify that you play with starting estates.

10: you can have way more. Use Procession+Wharves (or better (I think): Golem-Procession-Tactician-drawer)) and Graverobber/rogue them back. Also, Caravan.

20: It can be way higher. Rats (+10)/Ruins (+30)/Prizes (+4)/Mercenary (+10)/Madman (+10)/Dual Victory-Action cards (+3*2). I came to 12*(160/3) (159 during the test, I forgot about Island, and that Diadem is not an Action)

The answer to question 8 is wrong too. From my calculations, Vineyard can be worth 111 in a 4 player game. That's more than the 96 Fairgrounds can be worth.

This is wrong too.

The actual answer is 112!


4 Necropoles, 3 of them passed to you with Masquerade
12 Islands
12 Nobles
12 Great Halls
20 Rats
10 Black Markets
60 from 6 regular piles (remember that Young Witch is in the BM deck)
10 Mercenaries
10 Madmen
40 Ruins
4 Prizes (not Diadem)
There are 24 action cards in the base set, 23 in Intrigue, 26 in Seaside, 10 in Alchemy, 17 in Prosperity, 11 in Cornucopia, 20 in Hinterlands, 33 in Dark Ages, 12 in Guilds and 3 in the Promos (not counting BM here) of which we have chosen 10 already, leaving 143 of interest in the BM deck.

This brings our total to 337 action cards one could gain in total, or 112 pt Vineyards.

I think you forgot to pass the Necropoles with Masquerade. :)

For comparison, Silk Road only gets up to 61.

Did you count picking up the Urchins and Hermits from the trash? Take Rogue from the black market deck to do that.

I just counted them as regular piles, so there are 10 of each already included.

You're right. I forgot the Necropoles

There are only 30 Ruins in a 4 player game.

Great feedback everyone, thanks!  It looks like this quiz is pretty broken right now, so I'm taking it down.  At least it got everyone thinking and posed some interesting scenarios.  I greatly appreciate all of your input.  Play my other quizzes if you haven't yet; those are solid.  Thanks!
