Game 6269663. I can't replay it, since I'm not a subscriber (shame on me!), but you guys can.
Events: Scouting Party and Plan. Cards: University, Fortune Teller, Gear, Caravan, Envoy, Island, Wandering Minstrel, Highway, King's Court, and a 10th card I forgot (it definitely didn't have +buy on it). No Platina/Colonies/Shelters.
My plan: Plan on Gears. Shift into 1st Gear, then 2nd Gear, then 3rd Gear. Buy some cash and a King's Court, then buy one Province per turn.
My opponent's plan: gain lots of shiny stuff.
I lost the King's Court split 8-1 (the last one went unclaimed). I lost the Island split 8-0. But somehow, I squeaked out the win.
Quite an amusing game.
Edit: maybe the 10th card was Advisor? I hope that someone who can actually see the game will help me out here...
