pretty cool, turning a copper into a hoard and a gold. I just played a game with highway in upgrade in it too, was going to make a separate thread, but I think it fits here: http://www.gokosalvager.com/static/logprettifier.html?/20140909/log.516dec01e4b082c74d7cdb78.1410311510925.txt

Colony board, my opponent goes rebuild. There's highway and upgrade, which I figure can do cool stuff, but there is no source of draw, actions, or buys. But since the highways are uncontested I figure I should go for them. Both of us made some pretty big mistakes here I think. After T14 I have 10 highways... which means I can upgrade anything into a colony if I get them all in play. That's the tricky part, I have to have 4 or fewer non-highway cards to get it to work... so it clogs pretty bad. I should have picked up a ruined market much much earlier, I was fortunate enough that it was top of the ruins pile. I had forgotten about it until way later. Even without any +buy or being able to upgrade things into colonies I can still buy a colony pretty much every turn, and that was enough to beat rebuild. In a mirror match I'm not sure what would happen... because you can't get 10 highways.

...sorry for sort of hijacking the thread... there wasn't much to say.
