Well, you know, he had some bad draws, and could have beaten me more badly. We both had bad draws, TBH, so I don't think I lost just because of the turn disadvantage.
I skipped Hoard deliberately since I suspect (though maybe Geronimoo/rspeer can back this up) that Jack wants Gold over Hoard, especially if you're getting slammed with Ambassador. And I wanted Warehouse badly, but never really had a spare buy for it.
