Moral of the story: Yellow cards are bad; never get them. He had $18 in cantrip money, most of his copper, and still decided that 4 golds and 2 platina were a good idea. Also Gardens were silly too. Not sure I'm convinced by the potion cards... I want to play a wharf every turn ASAP, and if I get potion that takes a while. I'd open masq/silver, and not consider getting potion until I have a wharf or two.
