Title: Goko Solo challenge - Pile the provinces using base set
Post by: liopoil on June 24, 2013, 02:12:32 pm

Why have the solo challenges stopped? Here's one:

What is the fastest you end the game with all 8 provinces in your deck, using only cards from the base set?

I picked this so that people who haven't bought any cards can participate too, including myself. Also so that you can't do KC stuff, we've already done all that. You can choose the kingdom, but only base cards allowed. You can play solo games in the secret chamber room on goko.

After about 5 attempts, I can get all 8 provinces in 16 turns.

I think it would be cool if we started doing a lot of solo challenges again - one idea from another thread was how many menageries can you activate in a row.

I think Stef found a way to get all 8 provinces using the 'first game' cards with perfect draws in 9 or 10 turns.

I'm sure that's possible, but no perfect draws allowed here!

besides, you won't want to use the first game kingdom for this - that doesn't even have throne room in it!

hint: use throne room

Gave this a rough go and got 14 turns on first attempt. Definitely far from optimal, though the kingdom seems like a reasonable choice.
