I think that that set was supposed to be "not fun" because of the multiple pins involved. On the other hand, without pins, it's a board filled with some of my favorite cards. There's a bit of an oddity in that Village (!) is actually your best source of draw once you thin, but I think there are actually several viable ways to approach the board.

Yeah, but my opponent Princed a masquerade early on so I never even tried for the pin, and he never got a King's Court so I knew I wasn't in too much danger from him. Also, neither of us trashed more than a couple copper so we ended up using masquerade for draw. With the copious amount of masquerading going on, Possession was certainly tempting but ended up being too slow.

This kingdom wasn't particularly fun to play, but very interesting. I have to say, it has been a 4-player game with Colonys:

Code: [Select]

Poor House, Squire, Trade Route, Sage, Armory, Quarry, Contraband, Counting House, Mystic, Grand Market

I know there's basically no trashing, but I don't care: Quarry+Grand Market always makes me happy.

I tried Trade Route + Quarry + Grand Market, but I didn't win.

Yet, the player who ended the game on a 3-pile also didn't win. So that was kind of awkward...

I wonder, if you could have built something around Sage + Counting House or if Contraband was actually good here.

Just had this kingdom come up that was quite good fun.

Code: [Select]

Transmute, University, Fortune Teller, Masquerade, Watchtower, Sea Hag, Ill-Gotten Gains, Jester, Tribute, Altar
Playing with Provinces/Shelters.

The board is lacking +buy but there are several other options for gaining engine components. Jester has some interesting interactions as there are cards you only want in the early stages of the game or ones you only want a limited number of. There were some interesting turns where Jester attacks involved spamming additional unwanted Sea Hags or Potions.
