Hermit/Pirate Ship... I like it.

I don't see any particular synergy there.  Is there a specific turn that you thought was especially great?

So, my opponent plays big money while I buy out all the cities and some swindlers and fortune tellers. Going into the last turn, I'm tailing 23-6 with just two provinces left. Then I hit province twice with my swindler, draining the pile without getting any myself. Then my next two swindlers both hit provinces again, trashing them. I have just enough money to buy out the 7 duchies for the win. My opponent wasn't pleased.

Didn't you only need 2 Duchies for the win at that point?

I would have "only" needed 6 (I win by 4 points), but it does look better to drain the pile!

[TrojH]

Looks like Eevee was actually trailing 35-6 going into that final turn.

The numbers you gave don't add up then, but Troj explained it. At 23-6, once you trashed two Provinces it would have been 11-6.

[Eevee]

Lol, right. How do I ever win, being this dumb.

Pirate Ship needs to be played as often as possible.  Madman gives the draw to get multiple Pirate Ships in hand, and the Actions to play them.  So with my Pirate Ships up to 7 tokens, I was buying whatever I wanted every turn.  It did help that this was against Banker Bot.

Not sure I would call it a Greatest Moment though.

Looking at the kingdom -- there is Market and Highway.  I think that with Hermit might be more interesting.  After 2 Highways, Hermit can gain more Highways and Markets.  An early Counterfeit can slowly trash out starting Copper.  Near the end, shore up some Madmen and then do a Highway+Market megaturn.

I don't know.  Pirate Ship is fun because it's very satisfying to play it for huge payout.  But even against Banker Bot buying Ventures and Banks and the regular treasure, that game went down to the wire.  I imagine Festival could have helped you by giving +actions and +buy to take advantage of big PS money.

Yeah, I know.  I was just having too much fun with Pirate Ship.

Would this qualify for a greatest moment?  I bought 3 Provinces in the last turn, because playing Beggar, then Spice Merchanting one of the Coppers gave me exactly $24.

[dondon151]

No offense, wero, but if everyone posted their cool 3-Province turns in this thread, we'd be getting several a day...

Well, I'll come back when I have something more suitably grandiose.

[sparky5856]

Worst Tactician turn I've ever seen.  My pre-draw hand was Curse, Copper, Estate, Monument, Witch.

(You reshuffle.)
You draw 3 Curses, an Estate, and a Copper and get +1 action and +1 buy from your Tactician.
You play a Monument.
... You get +$2 and +1 ▼.
You play a Witch.
... You draw 2 Curses.
... Malinda gains nothing.
... Rick gains nothing.
... ellie gains nothing.
You play 2 Coppers.
You buy a Horse Traders.

I just got a worse one.

   sparky5856 draws 5 cards and gets +1 action and +1 buy from the Tactician.
   sparky5856 plays a Militia.
   ... getting +$2.
   ... MrEevee discards 2 cards.
   sparky5856 plays a Copper.
   sparky5856 buys an Estate.

>_<

I just played a game where my opponent took 14 cards off his Native Village mat and then bought a Silver. Didn't save the log, someone should poke me to grab the CR log when it's scraped.

[GwinnR]

This was not really a great moment for me, but I think it might be funny to see. I was happy that I can forge some cards into a Colony:

Code: [Select]

  — GwinnR's turn 22 —
   GwinnR plays a Forge.
   ... trashing a Curse, a Tournament, a Shanty Town, and a Duchy.
   ... gaining nothing.But I unfortunately I had misscounted :-( I think I should go to bed now...

[ChocophileBenj]

What is fun here is that the tunnel pile was empty and yet nobody did gain gold from it, although there were goons and followers !

My mistake, he actually picked up 12 cards from the NV mat, played four more actions, and bought an Oracle.

[mail-mi]

One game, with secret chamber/swindler/peddler on the board, he plays swindler, I SC to put Peddler on top of the deck, he replaces my Peddler with Province. (Peddlers were out). Next turn, I get lucky and he hits another peddler and I get another province. My turn, I buy the last Border Village, gain a duchy, and buy another duchy and end the game. Good times. I'll get the link when it's on councilroom.

[TrojH]

And they say Secret Chamber is the weakest $2 card in the game... 

[Powerman]

And they say Secret Chamber is the weakest $2 card in the game... 

Its reaction is absolutely devastating against Swindler and Thief.  As if Thief needed to be made worse.  And Minion too, I suppose.

And Noble Brigand...and Saboteur...pretty much everything that messes with your deck

And what we've learned after that? Better buy a herbalist with that huge amount of money
