Hi folks! Rather than flooding the forum with all of my noteworthy games, I decided to put them all into one thread for maximum concentrated amusement. Marvel in the stupidly long action chains that I always seem to favor over sensible deck building, laugh at the missteps I take in determining the right buys for any particular board!
You can always see the games I've played
here, but I'll post some here that are a little more special to me. If anyone's willing to discuss anything cool, any comboes I should've tried, or what mistakes I've made and how to correct them, I'd be happy to read up on any constructive post. If my formatting or writing needs any fixing, I won't mind reading about that too! Just as a heads up, I purposefully make the little blurbs as minimal as possible since I usually don't want to spoil the games.
Chancellor's a decent guy after all================================================
He needed some help from friends, but it turns out Chancellor helps me pull ahead very quickly. My opponent tries a similar strategy, but it only works half as good for two turns. It's a pretty bland game overall but it was the one instance that I'd buy Chancellor over Silver.
Looking forward to it================================================
I end up with the fattest deck in the game, but I was able to play through it much faster than my opponents could through their own. Coppers were a good investment this time around!
Brutality!================================================
This was overall a pretty one sided match involving my favoritest card in the game (and as it turns out on councilroom statistics, it's nearly everyone else's favoritest as well). I think this was one instance that my opponent did an about face on his/her screen name (sure seemed like it in the chat log).
Curses, Curses Everywhere================================================
Whoops! I play conservatively and lose big on this game. I try going for a very slow build up, spreading out my money over a variety of cards, but nomadic quickly squashes me. In retrospect, I'm not sure what the ruling is but if I've played Tactician I should probably just choose to discard cards every time (even when I'm at 0 cards) and draw the 5 from Tactician for a normal turn (so that I don't eat Curses all day).
You're too slow!================================================
Another one of my more embarassing moments. Meg goes straight for a big money deck and I can't buy fast enough to keep up. I seemed pretty sure of a win at first, but I only started worrying when meg got her second Province, which was way too late by that point.
Go Big, Then Go Home================================================
This is probably the tiniest deck I've ever played with
Not sure where it went wrong for either of my opponents, but I was more than happy to buy a Province per turn for five straight turns.
