interesting. I assume we have to follow 3-pile rules. I can manage to trash everything except for a single watchtower... how to get rid of that watchtower...

Yeah, you have to follow three pile rules.

my first thought was to trash everything except one card from each supply pile, a watchtower in your deck, and a ton of treasures including 10 ventures and 10 counterfeits. Play all the ventures and counterfeits on each other getting a ton of money and 19 buys. buy the last card from each pile, including a mint, trashing everything with watchtower. but then you have 1 watchtower....

second thought: feast + hermit + madman. but you can't gain anything costing more than 5, so you can't get the last province :(

What I really hate about solitaire challenges like this is that Knights don't work  >:(

for a second I was like "aha! I get everything except the last province with feast and hermit (gold pile was already empty), then get the last province with horn of plenty!! but then I realized that if I'm only playing cards that trash them self, I won't have 8 different cards in play. :(

and then just now: oh wait, how am I going to trash the cards I gain. I still need watchtower!

I can trash the watchtower by buying a farmland, but then I can't trash the farmland!

Puzzle: In a solitaire game, put the entire supply into the trash.

The more I think about this puzzle, the more I think that this doesn't belong in the easy puzzles thread.

Are you permitted to put cards into the trash, then retrieve them using graverobber and return them to the supply with ambassador?

Yes, but all of the supply cards must be in the trash at the end of the game. So that would be pretty useless.
That would be a clever solution though, and my wording of the original puzzle does not prohibit it.

If the answer is to literally take all the cards and put them in a trash can, you're banned from the forum.

You're trashing them with Mercenary, which is not in the supply.

You are sort of on the right track, but I am pretty sure that you cannot gain the last province and trash it and the card you gained it with all in the same turn using mercenaries.

By this logic it's not that hard, since you can use Black Market cards, which are not "in the supply." So you can Throne (from the BM) a Princess and then gain the Province with Feast, trashing it with Watchtower (which could also be from the BM so the puzzle's done), which you then trash with Mercenary.

Princess doesn't work that way (in play clause), but there are a bunch of other options. Expand (from BM) something into a province and trash it with WT (from BM) for example.

Oh right. The point is, if you allow cards "not in the supply" it's trivial. Add a bridge or highway from the BM to my solution and it works too.

Sorry about the double post, but I have been trying for some time now to figure out how to do this puzzle without using Black Market cards, and feel pretty secure saying that it is, indeed, impossible. :P

Black Market and Trader are not in kingdom. You gain Ill Gotten Gains, but neither of opponents gains a Curse. How is that possible?

Curse pile is empty already, due to many possible reasons.

Ok that works, but I have other solution where Curse pile is full.

You embargo the IGG 10 times (30 times in 4p with King's court). You gain all of the curses yourself. Then the pile was full before you buy the IGG. I am not sure otherwise.

Ok, that is also possible. I have different solution.
