So I just played a weird couple games with the same kingdom and still couldn't really wrap my head around the kingdom:

The first game my opponent opened Amb and since the top knight was Dame Anna (trasher) I decided that Masq/Silver for the early five would be better. He got an urchin T2 (presumably for mercenary). I got Dame Anna T3. From there it was a lot of trashing and passing and returning for a while. We each got some shanty towns then mystics (he got more of the former, I of the latter). I got the first platinum. I think we both picked up a jester to no great effect. I got more green and slogged through for 82/42 win.

He asked if I wanted to play the same kingdom again, so I said sure. This time he opened Monument/Masq and I had a 5/2 split with Sir Michael (discard) on top, so I decided to pick him up thinking to slow him down and possibly combo discard attack with masq (which never happend). I got a shanty town to work on that and quite a few $2 hands (not a huge surprise considering no silver). I decided to go for mystic/shanty town synergy which worked alright. We traded points off throughout the game and he pulled through with a 64/63 win.
Afterwards, I don't think either of us knew what the best strategy on that board was, so... Here you go. What do you guys think? Masq or Amb? and then what? No draw other than masq and activated shanty town.
