In this game I somehow went to sleep early and forgot about the Vault/Grand Market synergy. With King's Court also on the board, this would normally mean death. But not here as I stumbled upon using Develop to change my fives into topdecked Grand Markets (of course this also topdecked useless Talismans in this game as that was the only 4 and it was a Colony game as well, thank you Loan for being available as well).

Still, I was in ok shape with the cities having only one left and the Grand Market pile empty and I drew the hand of City, City, Develop, Grand Market, Copper. From there is was play the first City. Develop Grand Market, topdecking the final City and a King's Court. Play City (now at level 3 after clearing the pile). KC-City. Pile out for the win.

I'm trying to figure out what your opponent was going for here... he hadn't greened at all by the end of the game, 17 turns in? In a KC/GM/Colony game?  Crazy.

I'm guessing the greening was about to occur considering he had KC-KC-GM-GM-City in hand when I finished it, not that I knew he had that at that point. I'm also surprised IGG was totally ignored by both of us though it is much weaker in a Colony game and City takes on an entirely different role considering it would be level 3 after those piles are empty.

Of course this is incorrect extreme argument, but probably the thing is, if you have 10 IGG + Silvers and I've got 10 Curses, 8 Cities and a couple of golds (maybe a Plat?), I'm in way better shape than you to get a couple of colonies before piling out.
