Title: Most painful loss ever
Post by: dudeabides on December 08, 2012, 04:07:50 pm
In Round 2 of the DominionStrategy tournament, I am facing elimination in game 6.  Log is here:

I open Swindler instead of Masquerade (big mistake) and get passed back all the curses I dish to my opponent.  I buy a Masquerade later in the game to try to correct my early mistake.  Then, in an attempt to further rectify my early Swindler purchase mistake, I use the Masquerade to pass my Swindler to my opponent.  This drops my action cards from 12 to 11, dropping the VP of my three Vineyards by 1 point each.  I end the game 1 point behind and get eliminated from the tournament.  D'oh!
