First time for everything. It was pretty strong for a big money strategy too. Nice little interaction I hadn't thought of before.

Another awesome interaction - Mint with the opponent's Embassy. That early silver had a huge effect, I think.

Interesting, I never thought of that. Nice 2nd player advantage.

Very pretty.  Embassy into Alchemist isn't the strongest strategy to face, but you were very fast in any case.  Were you worried about Noble Brigand?

Been very surprised given how I never bought an embassy? Assuming you mean mint, been a sad panda I guess.

Yeah, my opponent's strategy wasn't very competitive, neither the embassy or the alchemists buys make much sense. Noble Brigand would have been better, maybe I would have had to follow him there if he started loading up on those, dunno. There isn't a lot of time either way, I had an oversupply of golds and would have afforded to even spare few and still maintain my ability to buy provinces with two vaults in such a slim deck.

I meant embargo. But mint would do, meaning you didnt get the 5 coin needed, so you have had to use embargo still just to get silver. And then what on t4?

I ask because this is always the major flaw in my game, i aim for an engine or something, dont get the 5 needed and so have to decide whether i pick up money or action cards i dont want

Getting feedback like this makes me want to take the time and post games I found cool here more often.  :)
