I've started teaching this thing how to play a reasonable Rebuild game, and he's a surprisingly fast learner:
== RebuildMirror's turn 13 ==
RebuildMirror plays Rebuild.
...RebuildMirror names Estate.
...RebuildMirror reveals [Estate, Duchy].
...RebuildMirror discards [Estate].
...RebuildMirror trashes RebuildMirror's Duchy.
...RebuildMirror gains Province.
RebuildMirror plays Rebuild.
...RebuildMirror names Province.
(RebuildMirror shuffles.)
...RebuildMirror reveals [Copper, Copper, Copper, Province, Duchy].
...RebuildMirror discards [Copper, Copper, Copper, Province].
...RebuildMirror trashes RebuildMirror's Duchy.
...RebuildMirror gains Province.
Coins: 3, Potions: 0, Buys: 1
RebuildMirror buys Estate.
RebuildMirror draws 5 cards: [Copper, Copper, Silver, Silver, Silver].
BM+Monument is dead even with the simple Rebuild Strategy, and so is DoubleJack.
DoubleMountebank beats it 60-40. i fear I havwe to start thinking about what to do again when I see Rebuild on the board.
Don't worry, a few lessons were enough to reverse the score:
Rebuild - DoubleMountebank: ~60:40.
He still couldn't quite beat
DoubleWitch, but with a little help from alternatively some
Horse Traders and a
Jack, the Witches were soon dead.
Now his most challenging opponent is himself, in the
Mirror, which are really quite interesting games to watch. Please let me know if you spot something weird, because although he plays fairly well, I expect him to make the occasional blunder still.
