Title: Impossible Score
Post by: david707 on July 31, 2011, 03:18:15 pm
Me and 3 other people sit down and play Dominion. About half an hour later, they are counting up their scores. I realise that the total score of all 4 players is exactly 133. The Kingdom Cards chosen don't include any Victory cards* and don't contain VP chip givers (Bishop, Monument, Goons). How is this possible?

*This includes  dual types (Action-Victory and Treasure-Victory)

There are at least 2 solutions.

Small Hint: One Solution involves "thinking outside the box"

Edit: Their are no Colonies and I counted correctly

there could be kingdom victory cards in a black market deck; is that what the hint means? also presumably there are no colonies .

This probably does not require a spoiler tag...

(1) Colony?

(2) Out side the box answer: did you count it wrong?

Edited OP to include no Colonies and I counted correctly.

Correct, one of the two solutions is kingdom victory cards in the black market deck, but the hint is for the other solution.

Actually 4 of you are playing two sets of two-player games?

Yes, that is the second solution. :)
