... and winning because of it! Of course, this isn't a typical situation, because I was so far ahead anyway. But what's really amusing is that I did this by accident. At the start of my last turn, I didn't stop to think. I had an action in my hand, so I played it on instinct. Then suddenly I realized I had to choose between giving my opponent a Gold, a Duchy, or  Province. I knew I was winning by a good amount, but I also knew that it had gotten to a point where the longer the game went, the more of a chance he had. He was trashing my Provinces, and had a faster deck than I did at that point. I really didn't want to give him gold or points. Had I stopped to think, I wouldn't have played the Ambassador, and the game would have continued. (And I would have had a slight chance of losing, with more lucky Saboteurs.)
