Round 5 match BE: Zauberer beats Zem 4-3
Well, that was a short tournament
Good luck to zaubererer for the next round!
game 1:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/19/game-20130119-071734-5201a360.html zaubererer: 43 points - Zem: 32 points
cards in supply: Council Room, Counting House, Farmland, Harvest, Hoard, Lighthouse, Oracle, Stash, Trade Route, and Witch
I failed to utilize Farmland properly. At one point for example I played all my money, including my hoard, then tried to undo the hoard to buy a farmland, stupid mistake, but probably not game-deciding.
game 2:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/19/game-20130119-072853-1f4ca568.html zaubererer: 45 points - Zem: 34 points
cards in supply: Caravan, Develop, Embassy, Farmland, Harvest, Nobles, Nomad Camp, Oracle, Village, and Worker's Village
I think this would have gone better with just big-money-Embassy.
game 3:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/19/game-20130119-074207-9d761fd9.html Zem: 68 points - zaubererer: 57 points
cards in supply: Bridge, Cartographer, Colony, Courtyard, Embargo, Embassy, Haggler, Monument, Platinum, Secret Chamber, Silk Road, and Walled Village
zaubererer went for a bridge engine with silk roads, but it went off too late. I probably should have embargoed the silk roads.
game 4:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/19/game-20130119-080111-f772b978.html zaubererer: 42 points - Zem: 32 points
cards in supply: Cellar, Develop, Golem, Island, Margrave, Market, Menagerie, Pawn, Potion, Spy, and Village
game 5:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/19/game-20130119-080553-aa9ff872.html zaubererer: resigned
cards in supply: Bureaucrat, Colony, Counting House, Envoy, Expand, Inn, Pawn, Platinum, Remake, Tunnel, Warehouse, and Worker's Village
Clear tunnel board. I think it is best to delay buying the tunnels for a couple turns until the engine is running
game 6:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/19/game-20130119-081604-93e30286.html Zem: 37 points - zaubererer: 22 points
cards in supply: Bazaar, Cartographer, Conspirator, Cutpurse, Hamlet, Nobles, Peddler, Potion, Secret Chamber, Vault, and Vineyard
secret chamber came in handy a few times against cutpurse.
game 7:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/19/game-20130119-082600-d9069b42.html zaubererer: 73 points - Zem: 37 points
cards in supply: Border Village, Colony, Laboratory, Masquerade, Monument, Platinum, Remodel, Royal Seal, Stables, Trader, Wharf, and Workshop
Border Village-Wharf engines. I really really really should not have opened with that Trader.
