Well almost anyway.

Game 30966178.

Only +actions were Ghost Towns
Haunted Woods meant that if you bought something you couldn't play your Ghost Towns - so only one . action next turn
Bishops for VP
Treasurers to pull Golds from the trash

Eventually both of us got to the point where we could pull a gold from the trash, trash it with Bishop, and play Haunted Wood - but then not be able to buy anything

I was ahead in VP, but didn't see anyway to end the game. If I tried to buy provinces or empty piles, I would lose a turn and he would catch up in points.

Eventually I figured out I was far enough ahead that I could afford to lose a couple of turns, and (very slowly) started buying Hunting Grounds, and then trashing them to Estates. I think it was clear it was going to work eventually by about turn 39 and cider01 resigned. I think it would have been over by around turn 50 or so....


Anyway, the first time I thought I had a stalemate in a LOT of games played.

We talked about ending in an agreed draw. Cider said he knew a way to do it, but we never got to the point of actually learning how to do it.
