Final tally - LordHedgie 4, ddubois (VetoPossession) 2
Game 1 - LordHedgie 31, ddubois 22
This was a Young Witch / Curse dominated game. Although I ended up with more of the Curses, I also had more Gold, and won the Province split 5-3. Not the most exciting game I've played.

Another Young Witch game, although with Tunnels added for extra variety. ddubois took a variety of cards, including Lookout, presumably to try to drop some Curses. I got more Tunnels, and thus more Golds, and won with a three pile ending (Duchies, Tunnels, and Curses).

IGG led to another Curse-dominated game, and another obvious three pile ending. ddubois played much better than I, and although we were very close in points I knew he had a better deck. I took a big risk in grabbing the penultimate Duchy, and he picked up the last one to regain the lead and end the game.

I tried to take an early lead, and ddubois built a powerful Alchemist-based deck. Near the end I was confident that I'd won as my lead was only three points less than the number of points still in the supply, but then he finally got all the Grand Markets, Throne Rooms, Alchemists, and Banks all working together. I'm still not certain that he didn't have enough points and buys to take the lead, but he held back, and I ended the game the next turn with the final Province. The score is deceptive, this was a close game!

I played Bishop, ddubois played City. I knew in the long run he had a better deck (again), so I took another risk with the penultimate Colony. Once again the risk did not pay off, and he picked up the last Colony to retake the lead and end the game. I'm not sure I would have fared any better playing it differently, though, I needed to have ended that game two turns earlier and I couldn't.

Seahag was both of our openings, and once again ddubois took Apprentices to clear out his Curses while I concentrated on scoring. My intent was to Duchy-Duke myself to a three-pile ending before he could Colony up a high score, but the Duchies gave me a strong early lead and I only picked up one Duke before intentionally ending it with a five point lead over him.
