I have to wonder if buying a single Workshop at the earliest opportunity (possibly only the first opportunity where you cannot afford a Bridge instead) would improve things, because then you could use the workshop to gain an extra Bridge or Native Village on your turn.

On the other hand, perhaps using the +buy of the Bridges you acquire will be enough to ramp up.  Certainly it seems likely you'd get the Native Villages you need with that +buy.  But I wonder if using a Workshop to gain Bridges faster is still an improvement.  Can this variation be simulated?

It wouldn't be of much use when your Workshop ends up on the NV mat before you ever see it in your hand. I'd expect this to happen in a fair few cases, and even when it doesn't, if you only get to play it once before it disappeared then you would have been no worse off buying a combo-card anyway. It would probably get you an extra province in your final big-turn though, when Provinces cost <$4.

Good point.  Maybe Workshop is a better card to get after all the Bridges are gone, then, as a way to boost up the final turn, provided the Native Villages give you more actions than you need to cover all your Bridges.

I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to share a Colony game I just played with the combo. It definitely worked: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/01/game-20120301-073854-ab84f436.html

Pretty sure I wouldn't of seen it if I hadn't read this thread recently.

(4 Colonies and 2 Nobles on the last turn finishing 4 piles - Bridges and NV being the other two)

My opponent had similar cards (4/4 B/NV vs. my 6/6), but did not play for the mega turn.

I realized a nice supplement to the strategy is any catnip card - after you do the big drop, you want to find a way to get the rest of your deck (i.e., all of your bridges) into your hand. Peddlers for example did that quite well.

Cheers,

catnip  :D

I'm totally calling those catnips now. I never really was a fan of calling them cantrips, so this really tickles me.

…much like catnip.
