[Asklepios]

Quite possibly the most fun I've had playing Dominion so far. A game that really made me think hard, and where every card in the kingdom was bought or gained at least once. There was ambassador warring, menagerie manipulation, upgrade cleverness, king's courting, forging...

My favourite moment was the last turn, when I realised that I could end the game on provinces, if I first ambassadored two provinces to my opponent. As it was, the game was pretty much locked by that stage, but still I'm happy with how I ended it.

On the last turn of the game:

Me: Kudos to you for not quitting before now.
Opponent: People do that?

Uh, yeah. I do, anyway. But I'll think twice before doing so in future

Lovely board.

Loved this play:

Asklepios plays an Upgrade.
   ... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
   ... trashing an Upgrade.
   ... gaining a Border Village.
   ... ... gaining a Curse.

Thanks! That was probably the turning point, when I realised thay my number one priority was to keep him from playing Ambassador back at me. After all, we both had Kings Courts (he got there first) and Ambassador.

My opponents main weak points, imho, were wasting early upgrades on coppers, and on buying gold when border village was there. To me, lovely though Ambassador and King's Court were, it was Border Village and Upgrade that made the deck efficient.
