Just played this match with my friend:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201211/17/game-20121117-231841-8586cd25.htmlNow, I think that by all accounts he should have won (or at least should have had more points) by buying a couple of Provinces instead of Treasuries near the end of the game, and I got unlucky and made some poor decisions on the opening shuffles. I had planned on a version of the Golden Deck using KC-Explorer from the outset whereas he didn't really know what he was doing until he ended up in the same position that I did. Throughout the game he had more Treasuries and more King's Courts, and he really should have had the game had he just bought a Baron or Ironworks in the lategame.
Any insight on what you would have done or what I should have done differently? I was about to resign on turn 5 after Baron missed the shuffle, collided with a Bishop, and missed an Estate, but decided to stick it out because I knew that my friend was not as good as I was and prone to miss little tricks.
