This was a perfectly normal figures w/echoes game for the first 11 turns or so; the echoes cards didn't even really play much of a role. Then I get Fermenting from Jorsh, which goes rather nicely with Sunshu Ao's karma and inspire effect. Okay, but still not unheard of.

I draw up to Reformation, and on turn 15 proceed to "tuck" Fermenting with it 5 times drawing a truly ridiculous number of cards. Still not unheard of.

Jorsh gets Clock, and steals all my 3s and 4s, forcing me to cover Sunshu with Vaccination to keep him from stealing all the achievements. He does get a couple, though, which hands me a few figures - including John von Neumann. For the unfamiliar, Neumann's karma gives you two bulbs for each card in hand.

And Vaccination had just melded me Radio Telescope.

One click later, there go all of the remaining cards; game over on score. (The only regret is that I wasn't able to win by melding AI; far too many bulbs for that.)

I found it all pretty amusing, so figured I'd share it with you all.

Hmm... I think after the famous Lighting + Sunshu Ao debate that Reformation of tucking the same card again and again is no longer valid...

[popsofctown]

Yeah, you're supposed to choose all the cards you will tuck, then tuck them, I believe.

And hey, I was promised Engineering in this story, what happened?

[WinterSpartan]

Er, didn't mean to hint at Engineering, sorry. Sunshu Ao and John Von Neumann - so crucial to the success of this story - were both engineers.

[popsofctown]

Ah, I had never heard of Sunshu Ao.  Wouldn't have expected anyone from age 1 to have advanced enough to actually be called an engineer.. though Sunshu Ao looks much further along the timeline than the pharoahs
