(Copper? Copper???)
Other than the copper, I think my opponent played pretty well, although he probably wanted to get a militia on T6. I just wanted to highlight the game because the open is non-obvious, and it was a fast, money-focused game with interesting tactical decisions. I think masque militia is correct against a vault open, but anway, i like the kingdom. A lot of anti-synergy.
T8, I get a gold rather than province. It's right before a shuffle, but I tend to think that this "right before a shuffle" business is a trick we play on ourselves. It matters, but I think it's very easy to overestimate how much it matters. However, I'd bought 2 golds, two silvers, plus masque, Militia, and Vault at that point, and I felt i needed the treasure. I suppose I would've had the opportunity to get more later. Your thoughts?
The end had me getting the penultimate province, which meant he'd lose on turns if he got the last province. He'd passed me an estate in the early end-game (T12) - he could've passed silver and still had an assured province. Looks like he had some super clumpy money there.
