Most VP from 1 buy

(1/5) > >>

tim17:
Suppose you buy one card (resolving the buy and any effects triggered by that buy). What is the largest number of VP you can gain from that process? Here are the rules/constraints I'm imposing:

1. (at most) 4 player game following standard set up procedures (at most 2 events/landmarks, etc)
2. You can choose the game state as long as it's legal (i.e. the game hasn't ended before your turn, it's possible to reach that state from a standard start state, etc)
3. On some boards, the number of VP you can gain might be unbounded (e.g. Temple). I want to restrict to setups where this is not the case.

Not sure if I'm forgetting anything, if you think something is amiss, feel free to comment.

faust:
Do you need to buy a card, or is an Event possible?

(suggestion: do not allow Events; Triumph goes crazy.)

Doctor + Tomb + Coin tokens sets the lower bar for this as number of cards in the kingdom (- number of piles + 2)

With Wall, it's twice as much (-15).
