Upgrades spoils.

Into a Poor House?!?!?!
you can upgread spoils into a colony :)

Technically, you could upgrade spoils into:

Super-Duper-Mega-Cool Planet of Doomy Doom Death
113$
--
Worth 741 VP

(Disclaimer: theoretical maximum, I haven't checked the viability of pulling it off in a single turn)

How is that the maximum?  I can only see KC + Bridge * 10 + Highway * 10 + Princess = $43.  If it was an action, you could also get ten Quarries to make it $63, but it's not an action (I think).  You can't use the Procession-Rogue/Graverobber trick here because Processioning a Bridge makes it cost $2.

Agh, I knew there would be problems.
However, I can still see 74$ (325VP!)

EDIT: moving this to puzzles.

relevant edge cases.

Can someone enlighten me? I don't get what so +5 about this post

Most of the edge cases described in this forum are extremely contrived and rarely found in normal play. Heron is making fun of this... feature... by drawing your attention to the fact that we have to point out when an edge case is actually relevant. Some members found the level of self-awareness funny enough to upvote heron's post.

Of course, there are edge cases to everything I just described, but they are probably not relevant to my point, nor your enjoyment of the joke, which I just increased for you and everybody else for that matter.

PPE: ah, ninja'd. Woe is me.

Im lost as to how a quoted joke from someone else gets so many +1s. My mind is boggled.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Conqueror Bot as an oxymoron yet?

Mint a Counterfeit.

Edit: Counterfeit a Fool's Gold. Funny that this actually works.

Chocolate is like victory points in Dominion. Both taste good but they'll hurt you if you eat too much of it instead of something else in your early days.

Is a Counterfeit Harem secretly men? Will a Counterfeit Potion kill you? What the hell is a Counterfeit Loan? (answer: better than Loaning a Counterfeit!) Can I Mine Counterfeits in a Counterfeit Quarry?

486365735856?  That's the sort of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!
