At the start of my turn, all my three cards are in my hand. In my buy phase I buy out the Provinces. How?

details:
  - I start the turn with the regular 1 action, 0 coins, 1 buy, and 0 coin tokens.
  - because I own only these three cards, nothing was set aside / summoned / ?, and both my draw pile and discard pile are empty.
  - the province pile has 8 provinces at the start of my turn.
  - Procession and Fortress are banned, because they make it too easy.
  - you can use at most 2 events, possibly having bought them on previous turns.

Maybe I'm stupid but this seems easy?

+Card token on BoM

[navical]

Your hand is King's Court, King's Court, Ironworks. You've previously bought Pathfinding to put the +1 Card token on Ironworks and Training to put the +$1 token on Bridge. Your turn:

play King's Court
... playing King's Court
...... playing Ironworks
......... gaining a Bridge, getting +1 Action
...... playing Ironworks
......... drawing a Bridge
......... gaining a Bridge, getting +1 Action
...... playing Ironworks
......... drawing a Bridge
......... gaining a Villa, getting +1 Action, putting it into your hand
... playing King's Court
......... playing Bridge x3, getting $6, 3 Buys and cards cost $3 less this turn
... playing King's Court
......... playing Bridge x3, getting $6, 3 Buys and cards cost $3 less this turn
play Villa, getting +2 Actions, +1 Buy, +$1

You have 1 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 8 buys, all cards cost $6 less, and you have $6 + $6 + $1 = $13, which is enough to buy out the Provinces. isn't enough, so this doesn't work.

You have 1 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 8 buys, all cards cost $6 less, and you have $6 + $6 + $1 = $13, which is enough to buy out the Provinces.

I like it, but 13$ aren't enough to buy out the Provinces at 2$, are they?

Oops! Back to the drawing board...

Attempt 2:

Your hand is King's Court, King's Court, Ironworks. You've previously bought Inheritance to inherit Bridges, and Borrow is the second Event.

play King's Court
... playing King's Court
...... playing Ironworks
......... gaining an Estate-Bridge, drawing the Estate-Bridge and getting +1 Action
...... playing Ironworks
......... gaining an Estate-Bridge, drawing the Estate-Bridge and getting +1 Action
...... playing Ironworks
......... gaining an Estate-Bridge, drawing the Estate-Bridge and getting +1 Action
... playing King's Court
......... playing Estate-Bridge x3, getting $3, 3 Buys and cards cost $3 less this turn
... playing King's Court
......... playing Estate-Bridge x3, getting $3, 3 Buys and cards cost $3 less this turn
play Estate-Bridge, getting $1, 1 Buy and card cost $1 less this turn.

So you have $7, 8 Buys, and Provinces cost $1.
Buy Borrow, so you have $8, 8 Buys, and Provinces cost $1. Buy 8 Provinces.

So you have $7, 8 Buys, and Provinces cost $1.
Buy Borrow, so you have $8, 8 Buys, and Provinces cost $1. Buy 8 Provinces.

Inheritance isn't allowed because you set aside the Bridge, you "own" it, so it violates the second detail.

Hard mode: buy all the Colonies as well.

Ferry and Pathfinding on King's Court; hand is King's Court, King's Court, University.

KC1 plays KC2, first KC2 play on Uni, gaining KC3, KC4, Ironworks1.
At this point, we have two KC plays. Each of these draws one of the just gained cards, then KCs it. At least one of these must be a KC, allowing us to draw and KC the third. When we KC Ironworks1, gain Bridge, Bridge, Ironworks2. So after playing KC3, KC4, IW1 the situation is:
5 KC plays available, discard is Bridge, Bridge, Ironworks2.
If the next card drawn from a KC is the Ironworks2, don't play any action, and draw another. KC one Bridge and then the Ironworks, gaining KC4, KC5, Ironworks3. This used 3 KC plays (maybe 2 with good shuffle luck).
So the situation is:
2 KC plays available, one Bridge in hand, discard is KC4, KC5, Ironworks3, one KC-Bridge played.
As before, 2 KC plays is enough to draw and KC all three of these, using up one of the plays from a drawn KC. When we KC the Ironworks3, gain 3 Bridges. So the situation is now:
5 KC plays available, one Bridge in hand, 3 Bridges in discard, one KC-Bridge played.
3 KC plays draw and KC 3 Bridges, one KCs the Bridge in hand. We've played 5 times KC-Bridge, making cards cost $15 less and giving us 1 + 15 Buys with which to buy out the Colonies and Provinces.

Stef is going to post the log of the game where he did this shortly, I am sure.

Hard mode: buy all the Colonies as well.

my solution actually also works for Colony, because it reduces the cost of Colony to 1, gives you 10 Buys and $10, for only 8 Colonies in the Supply.

But the hard mode is to buy out both Provinces and Colonies.
