2-player. Forge, Kings Court, Trading Post, Saboteur, Gardens, Quarry, Throne Room, Watchtower, Loan, Trade Route. Colonies included.

Loads of ways to trash your cards - or multiply them, but not really much actions to use those multiplyers/trashers on.

We ended up building up Trade Route to max (5). My husband occasionally kings courted it, but was rather tight-lipped about what he had to trash (I gather forges and provinces may have been involved..  ) to buy the Colonies. I just managed to Throne Room it, but that was ok, because my 5. card in hand was a colony... Game ended on provinces, he won.

And a rules question: When Trading Post gains a silver to your hand, can you use Watchtower to put it on your deck instead? (Instance; it was my only $ that turn, and with no $2 cards, I figured it was better saved for next turn.)

Yes, you can reveal watchtower and topdeck the silver.

The other thing to note is that, whether he's tight-lipped or not, what gets trashed is public information - so he has to show you.

Yet another thing to note is that Silver isn't always beneficiary in a Colony game, so it could have been better to keep it in hand instead of topdecking it (depends on the situation: in early game, topdecking is a good idea).

EDIT: Though, I guess that trashing it with the Watchtower would be better than doing nothing if you don't want the Silver.

I know, I could have looked. I suspect it was more that he was embarrassed/unhappy about what was trashed...

Sometimes I forget that this game still gets played in real life.

We play several times a week, often 2-3 games in an evening. I usually lose - despite being the article/forum/wiki-reader - but I have fun and happily continue.

What's that Skippy?  No plus actions but King's Court and Throne Room, and no draw but Watchtower?  Better go engine!
