An odd game. We both opened IW/Amb and got a second Amb on the first shuffle. I spammed IW/Highway, she went for Alchemists. My superior gaining ability let me control the endgame, and I ended up 3-piling on actions to win with 4 Duchies and 0 Dukes.

As usual, not losing the Ambassador war was crucial, and we came out about even on that front. I think Alchemist was definitely a mistake for her. A mirror IW/Highway/Duchy match would have been crazy. What's weird is that Dukes will probably never come into play, because the game will 3-pile by the time anyone gets more than 3 Duchies. And I don't think a Province-based strategy is viable.

I don't think that Alchemist in general is a mistake in this kingdom. You hit $5 for a Highway a shuffle earlier than your opponent and that more or less decided the game because IW/Highway collisions tend to snowball.
