Small Castle is “trash this or a Castle in your hand.” So I believe there are 4VP up for grabs.

It also gains you the other Small Castle, though. And Colonnade is when-buy, not when-gain.

You could do it with Ambassador shenanigans, but that enables more Colonnade points.

The score is currently tied. Your opponent buys the last province. They take no other actions, and then they lose the game. How?

Hard mode: no Black Cat, Embargo, or Swamp Hag

You react with a Fools Gold, having another in your deck to get your first Gold, which is the 5th unique for your 4 Fairgrounds to give you 8pts.

Hard mode answer:
You react with one of your Fool's Golds, gaining a Gold, giving you points from both Palace and Keep.

Huh. the three answers so far all use Fool's Gold as the initiator. Different sources of actual points, though.

They have 4 Hoards in play, and Bandit Fort is in the kingdom.

Silly, trivial answer: you were Possessing them.
Or: you bought Fleet.

More silly and edge-casey: every other Province was trashed using Salt the Earth, and you outbid your opponent on Mountain Pass.
Or: in a Wall game, they had seven Hagglers in play.

Ridiculously edge-case answer: Wolf Den with a couple of Hagglers and every supply pile down to 1 card remaining.

Or their Province takes the last card from some supply pile thanks to Hoard or Haggler, and you have most of the rest of that pile so win with Tower.

Another weird one: React a Fool's Gold, then play 7 Sheepdogs as Chariot Race (Way of the Mouse), winning each one.

Sheepdog + Way of the Mouse is a whole category unto itself of ways to score points!

I play Develop, trashing a card costing $x. This causes me to gain two cards. One of the gained cards costs $x. How did this happen?

Trash a Duchy, gain a Border Village and some $5 from BV's on-gain. There are no $4 cards in the supply.

You could also trash a $3 cost and reveal a Trader for one of the gained cards.

Neither of those is a solution to the puzzle; in both of your proposed solutions, the card costing $x is not caused to be gained by Develop.

Also, please don't use spoiler blocking in "Easy Puzzles".

It's in the instructions in the first post in the thread.

Trash a squire, gain a silver and a black cat

Again, in this example it's the Squire, not the Develop, that's is causing you to gain a Black Cat. I see that I phrased the puzzle ambiguously; what I meant to be asking about is just the cards gained by Develop.

You trash a Worker's Village, gaining a Silver and then a Destrier (since Destrier now costs $5). Now destrier costs $4, the same as your Worker's Village that you trashed.

Ooh! Not the one I was thinking of, but that's a good answer.

This one is more complicated:

Pre steps:
• Play Village
• Play Workshop
• Gain a card costing $4

(alternative pre-steps, have played a Cobbler the previous turn)

Pay Develop:
• Trash a card costing $5
• Gain Wayfarer costing $4
• Gain Border Village costing $6
• Gain a cheaper card, costing $5

The Developed-gained Wayfarer now costs $5.

Another way:

Get Wayfarer down to $4, through gaining, like above.
Develop a $3 card, gain wayfarer, then a $2 cost card, trading for a Silver.

These Wayfarer solutions are very cute, but my original intended solution is much simpler:

Play Develop, trash Wayfarer. One of the gained cards will have the same cost Wayfarer had when you trashed it.
