[Not a Cylon]

Since we have a thread for big game-altering draws, I thought it'd be fun in a similar vein for people to show off their big finishes. Just now, I achieved a seven-pile ending, winning 395-20, and without even any TR or KC. Just good old fashioned Goons and Bridge … to be exact, 7 Goons and 6 Bridges I ended the game on Colonies … and also Duchies, Estates, Cities, Goons, Bridges, and Pearl Divers.

Fun as that was, I'm sure others have done better. What crazy-big endings have you pulled off (or fallen to)? “Big” could be a matter of sheer point total, or piles emptied, or reversal of fortune (from negative points to winning by one?), anything that made you go “holy crap”

I'm very fond of <a href="http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20110528-203921-3ccc87fc.html">this one</a>, in which I ended the game by buying out all 32 victory cards on one turn (none of the stacks had previously been touched).

I don't think anything could possibly top that.

Awesome :-D

My opponent said he'd chosen the board specifically in order to enable unusually high scores, and... well, it worked.

If I'd planned my turn a bit better I could have actually scored a bit higher (e.g., if I'd king's-courted my goons I would have ended up with a few more buys and then could have grabbed some coppers for the extra points)—but I kind of like the elegance of having exactly 32 buys, as it turned out.

It's not that glamorous, but this was one of my favorite games of late (that I won).  It was back and forth the whole time.  I could not get the last Province for the life of me, not being able to buy one for nine agonizing turns, so I just bought two curses to win.
