cards in supply: Colony, Contraband, Counting House, Crossroads, Hamlet, Monument, Platinum, Remake, Secret Chamber, Shanty Town, Venture, and Watchtower

Me an Obi Wan Bonogi both go for slightly different versions of Remake-enabled Shantytown/Crossroads/Hamlet/Watchtower engines. He goes for Platinum and Venture while I spam Monuments, eventually picking up 7.

Turn 16 it feels quite obvious that my opponent picked the better strategy (which... he still probably did). The score is 52-25 and there's one colony left, and his economy isn't really dead yet.

Turn 17 I play 5/7 of my monuments and pick up a province (colony suicide ends the game). Miraculously, Obi Wan Bonogi stalls and only hits platinum-copper, and can only take a duchy. I was thinking at this point that he was greening with duchy a bit too early.

Turn 18 I play 7/7 of my monuments and with my hamlet-given 2 buys am able to buy the last colony and a province to win by 2 points.

Obi Wan had even (45%) prospects at ending it with a colony/monument play his next turn and probably had a 75% chance to win if I couldn't end it that turn.

You missed the entirely obvious title pun "Monumental Comeback."

For shame.

You can't just go changing the title now. That's cheating.
