Highway+Ironworks (with KC-Scheme)

Kingdom: Scheme, Steward, Ironworks, Moneylender, Duke, Highway, Jester, Border Village, King's Court.  3-player game.

I saw the Ironworks-Highway combo right off the bat (Highway reduces costs so Ironworks can gain more Highways).  I opened Moneylender-Silver, planning to use the Moneylender to get to Highway and use Scheme to topdeck Highways.  I picked up Ironworks, Border Village, and Highway on turns 3-4 and get a lucky draw turn 5, playing Highway-Ironworks.  T6 I got a King's Court, and remembered the power of KC-Scheme.  I got a couple of Schemes in the next few turns; by this point the Highways were gone and I had 4 of them.  On turn 11 I play 3 Highways followed by KC-Ironworks, gaining 3 King's Courts and buying a fourth.  On turns 12-14, I play a massive King's Court chain ending in KC-Ironworks after 4 Highways, to gain 7 Provinces and 2 Duchies.

I would open Moneylender/Scheme over Moneylender/Silver.

I love power-engine-boards.

I would open Moneylender/Scheme over Moneylender/Silver.

Looking back, that probably would have been a better idea.  Given the complete lack of +Buy, extra money over the amount needed to buy a Province probably won't help much.

I just played your kingdom like 5 times in a row. That is a fun one, thanks for sharing.
