Embargo insanity

A source of great amusement for me is that Seaside comes with 30 Embargo tokens. Presumably, this was based on the knowledge that King's Court would come out. Still, before Prosperity, only 20 Embargo tokens would be necessary. So, the challenge here is to use all these tokens! You may choose the Kingdom (although you do need King's Court and Embargo!) and you need not end the game! Whoever can get 30 Embargo tokens on the board in as few turns as possible will win this challenge. Ties will be broken by the number of cards remaining in the supply, with more in the supply being better. Bonus points will be given for having all 10 Curses in your deck when you quit the game.

Logs PMed to me by Monday the 19th at midnight EST please.

3 points for first place, 2 for second, 1 for third and 1 for getting the bonus.

EDIT: The Curses are the only card in the supply which won't help your tie-breaking score. This way the bonus and the tie-breaking criteria aren't opposed to each other.

I have Seaside, and it comes with 15 Embargo tokens.

The challenge does seem very interesting, though.

It's a shame that there isn't a card that makes everything more expensive.  Graverobber would then put a whole new meaning to the phrase, "EMBARGO EVERYTHNG!"

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

Well, getting all 10 curses in your deck before quitting is trivial (put all your embargos on copper, on the turn where you drop the 30th token, buy a copper)

I support funsockets.... taking as much time as they need to get it right.

Hey, didn't I do something like this a while ago?

Weird. My set has 20. I guess I mis-remembered when I typed in the 30.

But with Band of Misfits, you can get a bunch more Embargoes anyways.

Sadly, there was only one submission for this challenge. Theory used KC'd Wharves to draw his deck before his final turn and then play all the Embargoes.
