Still pretty new to the game, so excuse my newbie mistakes.

Going into turn 19, I'm basically getting rolled. My opponent has 40 points to my 16, is winning in every icon except factories, and is spamming Democracy + Achieve at an alarming pace. Then:

Turn 19: I draw and meld Industrialization.
Turn 20: I dogma Industrialization twice. This splays right like 10 cards, gets me Monument and Empire, and all of a sudden I am leading in a bunch of icons. He shares Atomic Theory with me, which melds me Services.
Turn 21: I dogma Services, which steals 32 points (!!!) from him. I draw and tuck 8 cards with Industrialization. He makes a last-ditch Atomic Theory gamble and fails.
Turn 22: I dogma Industrialization to run out the 10s and win on score.

In theory he could have seen this coming, because he actually returned Industrialization on turn 18 right before I drew it. Also not transferring Industrialization to his board from my Turn 21 Services was a humongous mistake; I should've done those dogmas in the other order.

But, like, seriously, this game is crazy.

It also goes well with Publications and Empiricism, and all three together is godlike:
