Game Reports / KC Sab or Tourney or both?
« on: May 16, 2014, 01:02:31 pm »
http://dominionlogs.goko.com/20140516/log.516cd2c1e4b082c74d7a166a.1400248775386.txt



Code: [Select]
Courtyard, Smugglers, Warehouse, Ironworks, Thief, Tournament, Cartographer, Saboteur, Treasury, King's Court
On this board, is it smart to be building into KC saboteur? Or is tournament the way to go?

I realize that my opponent was probably not playing optimally & I think he thought he had the game when he piled out courtyards as a response to my sabbing his cards. Had he trashed into duchies or estates, could I still have caught up?

I also think he underestimated the value of princess on this board

On a 2/5 start which is better, Cartographer or Treasury? I chose cartographer hoping for quicker cycling.

Game Reports / Re: Robz vs Pirate Ship
« on: May 13, 2014, 06:02:45 pm »
I'm glad amalloy caught that I only had 2 coppers in hand those turns. I was stumped why I didn't buy anything when I had 6 coins.

One advantage of farming village over mining village is that it let's you sift through green cards to your next treasure or embassy as in T21. The other occasions when I had farming village in hand, I only had one copper. I could have bought a silver that turn instead of a copper.

Having a second embassy would have been nice, but I'm not sure that there was time to get it. Maybe instead of province in T5. I also bought a province on T8.

Had I bought a gold or embassy on T5 or T8, I would have more economy for T9 where I'd bought nothing & T12 + T14 where I'd bought estates. However as of T14, Gamesou's assault begins and treasures start to get trashed.

It's been a while since this game and I think  I've improved in the meantime but I'm not sure I could do tons better now with big money. I think this is a board where PS shines.

I submit this game to the panel. I played it with Gamesou during Gokodom II. (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=9312.msg289773#msg289773)

http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130906/log.516d321ae4b082c74d7b345d.1378479819785.txt



Code: [Select]
Scrying Pool, Menagerie, Farming Village, Mining Village, Moneylender, Pirate Ship, Wandering Minstrel, Embassy, Mine, Stables

I started off strong with BM Embassy and then after 4 provinces, all my economy had been destroyed by a barrage of pirate ships.

At the time, I hadn't realized what was happening till it was too late. But in retrospect, I still don't know what I'd do differently. Maybe bought coppers instead of estates and hope to pick up a few duchies along the way.

The real challenge seemed to be lack of +buys.

What do others think?

As a huge rats fan, I loved seeing the Adam H vs. AI game 3.

I really enjoyed Adam's wonder at how many rats AI had in his deck and yet AI's engine still kept moving.

I'm sure there was a decent amount of luck in this game, but there was a lot of skill too and ... the amazing potential of rats!!!

(Thanks for sharing the videos.)

Game Reports / Re: Witch into rebuild by way of university
« on: May 10, 2014, 09:52:24 am »
I hadn't really paid attention to mint on this board. But I can see that trashing down some coppers can make the rest of the engine work a lot smoother. I think it might be good to get a goon or two before minting to create some economy.

Game Reports / Witch into rebuild by way of university

Code: [Select]
University, Wishing Well, Armory, Apprentice, Inn, Mint, Rebuild, Witch, Fairgrounds, Goons
Just played a strange rebuild game with colonies. I opened 5/2 with witch/nothing. Then went university. I wasn't sure it was the right choice but by the end I had 7 rebuilds and had trashed all but my 3 colonies. My opponent's big money rebuild couldn't keep up.

There was an interesting synergy with Inn. Whenever I gained an Inn through University I could recirculate a bunch of rebuilds to trash more colonies.

Game Reports / What trash for benefit is best?
« on: April 27, 2014, 08:17:07 am »


Code: [Select]
Secret Chamber, Philosopher's Stone, Remake, Smithy, Bazaar, Festival, Graverobber, Fairgrounds, Grand Market, Forge
I played this kingdom with Kirian yesterday.

Smithy with bazaar/festival let us draw a lot of cards and pick up many grand markets.

But a range of TFB cards also gave some interesting end game scenarios. I don't know if I chose ideally but I decided to try them all! Remaking forges and graverobbering 5 cost cards into provinces.

A couple questions:
1. Did I go for forge too early when I hit 7 on T3?
2. How should I have played T7 with forge, smithy, 2 copper, and silver in hand? I chose trash a bit rather than draw more cards to maybe buy a village.
3. Leading into the endgame on T15 should I have skipped provinces and built up a bit more for a big final turn?


Fairgrounds would have also probably not been that hard to get to 6 points but neither of us went that route.

Thanks for any insight.

Edit: Here's the log: http://gokologs.drunkensailor.org/static/logprettifier.html?20140426/log.50635cc651c3843e7939ece8.1398568273030.txt

I also want to say thanks. I already loved the extension. I think the new interface is fantastic! It's clear and easy to choose what you want. Adding the isotropish levels gives a new perspective on who your opponents are.

I appreciate all the work that has gone this.

Thanks!

Spoils would be vulnerable to discard attacks.

I've modified your text a bit. I think it should do what you intend.

Reward
Treasure-Reaction
1$

1$
When another player plays an attack, you may reveal and set this aside. If you do, at the start of your next turn, put it into play and +2$.

« on: February 21, 2014, 08:18:03 am »
Considering you have the big box and seaside, I'd say go Dark Ages.

In addition to crazy, Dark Ages also has a lot of cards! It also adds shelters to starting hands.

(That being said I find Hinterlands and Cornucopia a touch funner.)

Game 1 Jaybeez wins
http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20140220/log.516cd2c1e4b082c74d7a166a.1392948357166.txt

BM+Butcher with Harems. On T3 with 6 coins I chose to buy Harem. I think this should have been a butcher to trash out estates for silver and get coin tokens for future use. I kept up for a good part of the game but then Jaybeez's momentum took over.


Game 2 Breezy wins
http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20140220/log.516cd2c1e4b082c74d7a166a.1392949899637.txt

We both went scrying pool then vineyards on this board. I tossed an early urchin in which let me trash coppers. I accidentally trashed my potion before I remembered I needed it for vineyards. And this threatened to put me dramatically behind as I bought 2 potions to make up. Slowly buying highways & then a couple of provinces let me pull ahead.

Part way though the game I wondered whether BM+Wharf would have been better.

Game 3 Breezy wins
http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20140220/log.516cd2c1e4b082c74d7a166a.1392950449995.txt

BM+Masquerade with Stashes and no +2actions. I open 5/2 and choose hunting party over stash. Jaybeez opens silver/masquerade & in T4 buys Haggler. This gave him 2 terminals in his deck while hunting party let me see my 2 stashes more often.

I maintained the lead through the game but almost lost when I miscounted my coins and bought an estate (duchies were out) instead of the last province.

Game 4 Breezy wins
http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20140220/log.516cd2c1e4b082c74d7a166a.1392951354737.txt

A tough game for  Jaybeez due to 2p in T5. He couldn't afford a familiar  & his potion missed the reshuffle. Throughout the early game scavenger, and then later golem, let me play familiar much more regularly. Looking at the log, I wonder whether Scavenger would have been a better T4 buy for Jaybeez than Minion. Though, had I been in his place, I likely would have also gone Minion over Scavenger assuming I'd get a familiar shortly.


Thanks Jaybeez for some good games and also for your patience in Game 4.

I may have made the mistake on scheduling a match with AI.

But as I look over the threads, I'm still not sure whether I made a mistake or not. Initially, I understood the 3 matches for group B posted at the beginning of this thread to be this week's matches.

I'm guessing now that Japan B/Canada is this week; US/Canada is next week; & US/Japan B is the following week. If that is the case, it would help to have the dates posted with the matches for the week.

It's also possible I'm not looking at the right threads.
