This was in an IRL game against two friends, so there's no log to accompany this

I was 2 points behind the opponent leading in score, with all ages empty except for a single card in Age 9 and all cards in Age 10 still available. I had Corporations and Chemistry as two of my top cards and a factory icon lead. All I had to do was to dogma Corporations as my first action, successfully demanding one of my opponents (the other had no top cards with factories), and use Chemistry as my second action to try to draw an Age 11 card and win.

Except I meld Software over Chemistry. Damn it.

Since I couldn't lose by Bioengineering, Globalization, or Self Service, I might as well dogma Software to get more points.

Draw and score a 10, draw and meld a 10, draw and meld Self Service. Execute Self Service. Execute Software.
Draw and score a 10, draw and meld a 10, draw and meld The Internet. Execute The Internet.
Draw and score a 10, draw and meld two 10, attempt to draw and meld a card above 10. I win by score!

Good laughs were had all around.

How does the first part of the story work? Why can you draw an age 11 via physics? If you meant that you would have shared physics with everyone, there would still be the possibility that someone had to return all the drawn cards. (Actually, with three players probably more often than not)

You're right, that was supposed to be Chemistry. I always get those cards confused when I am talking about them outside of the game.
