Title: Feast my brothers!
Post by: permanoob on April 28, 2012, 01:40:50 am
Are you ready for this one? Here goes. Empty the feast pile. In as few turns as possible. You don't have to end the game. I think this is an interesting puzzle because in theory you could open feast workshop, but there are some complications that make it interesting. Okay maybe this was a stupid puzzle.

I feel a little guilty for posting this cause I rarely make an effort to answer puzzles myself and answering puzzles is much harder than inventing them. I will try to rectify this dreadful situation as soon as possible.

Edit: I realized after posting that this was an incredibly stupid puzzle. So I have decided to up the stakes a little bit. Empty the feast pile as quickly as possible. In ONE TURN. Now that's what I call a puzzle.

Your self confidence has enriched my entire psyche. Everything I accomplish from now on is dedicated to you.

Your underserving praise has given me the strength I need to make something of myself in this big bad world!

TR-Workshop to gain 2 Feasts (2)
Buy Crossroads

Turn 4: Copper x 4, Estate
Buy Feast (3)

Turn 5: Estate, Copper (reshuffle), Crossroads, Estate, Estate
Crossroads - draw Feast, Throne Room, Workshop
TR-Workshop to gain 2 Feasts (5)
Feast to gain a Feast (6)
Buy nothing

Turn 6: Feast, Copper x4

Oh. Well jotheonah has a good one going for the empty feast pile not in one turn variant, but I personally emptied the feast pile in one turn on my 16th turn. So if anyone can beat that I shall be impressed and stuff.

jonts26's strategy for the "fewest turns" puzzle hits a KC-KC-Bridge-Bridge-Bridge megaturn on turn 8, which is capable of buying 10 of anything (except Colonies).

So should the puzzle be scrapped? Or is it to late for me to veto Kings Court and redefine the test?
