Strategy Talk: Finding the un-obvious

Without giving too much away, consider this board:
Duchess, Fool's Gold, Pawn, Secret Chamber, Develop, Lookout, Rats, Scavenger, Cartographer, Counting House

How would you play it?

The straightforward play is "Fool's Gold with a +buy". Pawn is a weak +buy for FG, but not terrible. Not reason to to open Pawn+FG, try to win the split and then follow the standard FG strategy.

But there is something else in there that is a lot more complicated that may beat the straightforward play.

Can you see it?

I'll post the solution tomorrow or later today.

go for a three pile on duchess, duchy, and rats by trashing rats with develop, maybe using cartographer and/or lookout somehow too.

I feel like Lookout/FG with Cartographer support will beat that. Maybe even Lookout/Scavenger into FG.
