The one time I opened Mint/Fool's Gold, I lost.

Haha, it's not quite as dominant as some people think (though it is strong.) This is directly from this game where I opened Mint-FG and my opponent could have gone Salvager/FG but decided against it.

Oh no, if that kid's opponent opens Mint/Fool's Gold, it will be much easier to connect his Scout and Estates!

Even easier if he opens Mint/Estate!

Noble Brigand board?

Noble Brigand wouldn't do anything against Fool's Gold.

Yeah, but with the Mint purchase it could take a while to build the economy for the Scout purchase.

D'oh. I'm the reason that Mint/FG is so highly ranked on CR. And it's not from me getting 5/2 ...

Well of course you open mint, you wouldn't want your opponent to steal any of your treasures would you?

But you have all the money you need to totally piledrive the Courtyards, and that's one of the top $2 cards!!

And I think, that you wouldn't gain another Copper with your Mint, because Copper is a bad card...

It spits out coppers. Not a very strong defence though.

Fool's Gold is a treasure, so if I revealed a FG when you played Noble Brigand, I wouldn't gain a Copper.

Yeah, I looked around for a better one, but that was the only one I could find (the original wasn't quite as blurry, but was really small, so I made it a little bigger).

There are loads of ways to empty one stack by turn 4 - particularly with 3+ players but also in 2 player (for instance with Ironworks, Armory, Workshop or Hermit).

If you mean empty every pile in the supply - not even Celestial Chameleon can do that by turn 4, not even with 6 players...

It's only talking about solitaire, and it is talking about every pile in the supply (including all treasures and such)... see the latest thread in the puzzles forum!

I don't have the slightest idea how that could even be done remotely - I reckon it must involve Dark Ages cards, as I am not yet particularly familiar with them...
While I remain sceptical until I see a solution, I reserve enormous kudos in advance!

Well see his solution here, where he ends the game with 285 points on turn 4.
