My opponent has all 14 estates, 8 duchies, and 7 of the 8 provinces.  I have 9 of the 10 curses.  There is no other card that gives victory points (Gardens, Vineyard, Goons, Bishop, etc.), no Masquerade, no Ambassador, and no Possession.  How can I win the game?

(There are probably a bunch of ways this is possible -- what is *a* way?)

Super megaturn with a bunch of Saboteurs, Swindlers, Graverobbers, and other such cards, plus lots of trashing (2 Chapels or something) for your curses???

How can your opponent have all 14 Estates without Ambassador or Masquerade?

you can play 2 highways, and then proceed to steal all of his provinces playing 14 rogues. buy the last province, and you have 8*6 - 9 vs 14 + 8*3 = 39 vs 38 points and win.

Yes.  Ok I guess that was really easy.  I was tempted to say there are no such trashers -- in which case, the answer would be they quit haha.  This would work as well:

Let the record show, that said "buy them?" before your ninja edit.

Persuasive Procurer - Action, $5
+$2
In your buy phase this turn, the other players reveal their hands, and you can buy cards from them.

2-Player game, opponent plays Witch, Curse pile is not empty, no Lighthouse or Trader in supplykingdom, nor Black Market.  I don't gain the Curse.  Why?

Uhhh.. cus you have a Moat?  Is that a joke or am I missing something?  Also, you could have played a Lighthouse -- all 10 are gone and hence not in the supply anymore (or, similarly, you have a Trader that have all been bought up as well).

You lied, it's you playing the Witch, it just feels like your opponent played it because you're being Possessed.

Hm, we should have a handy catalogue of F.DS jokes so we could check if something is a joke or not!

What is the maximum amount of money I can have on my third turn, without Noble Brigand, Baker, nor Nomad Camp starting in the supply or in Black Market pile (because hey, those just complicate things)?  I can think of 1 way to have $14.

EDIT: Ok, after editing this question 100 times, I'm done.

How can I buy a colony on my third turn without Noble Brigand nor Baker starting in the supply or in Black Market pile?  (There are probably several ways -- I can think of 2 ways).

Open Platinum/Platinum.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

Shelters board. Open Stonemason/Poor House/Poor House/Poor House. Opponent opens Masquerade/Silver. Opponent passes you his Necropolis with his Masquerade on his turn 3. Play Necropolis, Necropolis, Poor House, Poor House, Poor House, buy Colony.

EDIT: Oh, the puzzle changed. Well, that's no longer an easy puzzle.

If there is no player limit, I think you can easily get all your Coppers in hand through Masqed Apothecaries and even play a number of TR/Processioned Coppersmiths, which would give a lot more than $14. You can also do some TR/Death Cart tricks. So, I think you should limit the number of players and start over :P

Player 2 T3 Plays Necro, Plays Xroads, Plays 4xPoor House, gets $16 to spend (just 1 buy!)

Wow, nice!  I always forget the possibilities with Stonemason.  I was thinking:
Player 1 buys Masq
Player 2 buys Library
Player 1 buys Coppersmith
Player 2 buys Pawn
Player 1 plays Masq, passes Coppersmith, receives Overgrown Estate
Player 2 plays Necro, Pawn for action+coin, Coppersmith, Library, draws 6 more coppers for a total of 7 coppers -- they would have $15 and 1 buy (yes, my original question was for $14).

P1 Buys Masq ($3)
P2 Buys Stonemason+Xroads+Beggar ($4)
P1 Buys Coppersmith ($4)
P2 Buys Watchtower ($3)
P1 Plays Masq, passes Coppersmith
P2 plays Xroads, plays Coppersmith, plays WT, plays Beggar, has 8 Coppers in hand worth $2 each, for a total of $16.

I could not find a way to do more WT tricks like trashing incoming Squire, because playing Coppersmith is too important and money is tight.
