I opened Masquerade/Caravan thinking to just roll through on a Minion engine (drafting off his Bishop) if he didn't go for Potions. But he did buy a Potion, so I hatched an evil-er scheme: Bought a 2nd Masquerade, passed it to him (along with the Possessor's next-best friend: Upgrade) and got 2 Possessions myself. Then of course I Upgraded my remaining Masquerade out of my deck, just in case. Though I needn't have done since I managed to pass away his Potion before he ever got a Possession. With Nobles I managed a couple double-Possession turns.

This was a lot of fun :) He took it in good spirits, seemed amused by the unexpected "Take my Masquerade.. please!" gambit.

Of some small note: At turn 12 I passed a Gold out of his hand instead of a Province, because the interface failed to show me that Masquerade had drawn a Province until after I chose the pass card. Annoying bug, but it didn't repro later in the game.

Too bad Masquerades in the game logs don't show what is passed/received.

I ganked his Potion before he could use it, and got a Province as well. I had thought I got a Gold but see no evidence in the log. There may have been one or two other mildly consequential plays.

It was awfully fun using the Upgrade I passed him on his Bishop though.

Very funny. Was on the loosing end of this some time ago. Both openend Masquerade, I passed mine to him in one of his Masquerade turns to avoid the problems with Possesion, just to get it back from him in hand on a turn where he played Possession, in which he used it to steal my Province.

At least I was able to win the first Prize in his Tournament...
