ArjanB 4 vs. Tonks77 3Yes yes yes. My first victory.
Game 1ArjanB vs. Tonks77
57-38Cards in supply: Colony, Contraband, Embargo, Familiar, Gardens, Golem, Governor, Hoard, Platinum, Potion, Remake, Scrying Pool, and University
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120417-111135-9ca5c24f.htmlFirst thing I saw was Governor. With remake and governor I decided to ignore Familiar and go for a governor rush. With a lot of money and 6 governors and two remakes I started greening and won pretty easily.
Game 2Tonks77 vs.
ArjanB 30-66cards in supply: Alchemist, Ambassador, Familiar, Golem, Herbalist, Inn, Library, Menagerie, Navigator, Potion, and Silk Road
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120417-112710-fadd9bde.htmlTonks opens Amb – Amb, me Amb – potion.
We both didnt buy Familiar because of the presence of Amb.
I was going for Alchemist and Tonks had some really heavy shuffle unluckyness.( is that a word?)
Because of that I could easily win. It took me a while te finish the game because of missing potions – Alchemist connections and me screwing around with the Herbalist – Alchemist clean up order.
Game 3Tonks77 vs. ArjanB
60-44cards in supply: Alchemist, Crossroads, Develop, Herbalist, Island, Lookout, Philosopher's Stone, Potion, Scout, Swindler, and Vineyard
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120417-114250-fa479522.htmlThis game was a mess. Tonks outplayed me here. I underestimated the presence of Swindler.
My plan was to go for Vineyards with a lot of alchemists-scouts-crossroads. I think I made a lot of wrong decisions. Swindler is off course a very good card against Alchemist.
Game 4
ArjanB vs. Tonks77
38-28cards in supply: Apothecary, Bridge, Governor, Herbalist, Moat, Noble Brigand, Philosopher's Stone, Potion, Shanty Town, Swindler, and Transmute
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120417-115254-f2025dfb.htmlA very quick game because of the presence of again Governor. I open Bridge – Swindler and Tonks Potion – Swindler.
I am very bad with Apothecary and I dont really know what Tonks was planning with his potion.
I got alot of Governors and ended the game on turn 11.
Game 5Tonks77 vs. ArjanB
59 - -100cards in supply: Colony, Contraband, Fool's Gold, Forge, Herbalist, Market, Pearl Diver, Platinum, Possession, Potion, Transmute, Vineyard, and Wishing Well
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120417-120010-3c5d7b22.htmlMoney money money. Nothing really to do here. I decided to go for Possession but that wasnt the right choice on this board I think.
On turn 6 I bought a Gold for 7, I should have bought a Forge here.
I bought some Possessions while Tonks was buying money and VP’s.
I felt far behind and resigned.
Game 6
ArjanB vs. Tonks77
33-28cards in supply: Apothecary, Apprentice, Chancellor, Contraband, Harvest, Hoard, Menagerie, Philosopher's Stone, Potion, Vineyard, and Woodcutter
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120417-120727-c581787a.htmlI went for BM with two Apprentice’s and a Harvest.
Again Tonks went for some apothecaries with apprentice and a woodcutter.
We both trashed some things and bought Hoards to gain gold.
Last turn I could trash a Province for 8 cards to buy the last province.
Again I don’t know if apothecary was the right choice.
Game 7
Tonks77 vs. ArjanB
72 - 57cards in supply: Apprentice, Bank, Colony, Familiar, Ironworks, Moneylender, Platinum, Possession, Potion, Scrying Pool, Tournament, Walled Village, and Woodcutter
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120417-122605-d02b08b1.htmlInteresting Kingdom. There is an Apprentice, Familiar, Possession, Scrying Pool and a Tournament.
I had a 5-2 split and decided to go for Potion – Nothing. I don’t know if that was the correct play there.
We both bought a moneylender,two Familiar’s and some tournaments. On turn 10 I finally bought a Apprentice. Tonks,with 3 apprentices, trashed a lot for cards and gained the first price which was a bag of gold. The right choice. Tonks was really crushing me. On turn 19 I bought a Possession thinking that it wouldn’t really mather any more. But, I get some really nice Possessions turns. On turn 25 I got a really nice possession turn (1 colony – 2 Province and 2 duchies) which brings me back with 4 points behind. But with 1 colony and two provinces left Tonks got $11 and bought the last Colony.
Some fun games and some boring games. Overall it was nice playing you Tonks, good luck with the rest of your games.
For the rest of the forum
