Some of my more memorable games

So, I just thought I'd share 4 games that stick in my memory.

1) The first dominion game my family ever played (most of us are big dominion freaks now, we own all the expansions :3 ), I happened to win. I decided I liked buying tons of laboratories, and some silvers and a few golds, which turned out to be really effective. None of us had any idea what we were doing, and had never heard of big money or anything; I just really liked playing tons of laboratories in a turn. I was known as the master of labs for a while after that.

2) I managed to get a nice bishop engine going once. I had two fishing villages, one on the table every turn. I used the three actions to play a bishop each, trashing a fortress. That was my entire deck, so I had the one village on the table, the other in my hand, and three bishops and a fortress. 9 points a turn, baby.

3) One game I opened chapel feodum. Then I got SUPER lucky. I got 4 in my next hand with the feodum as my 5th card, and bought a second feodum with it. Then I chapeled my next three hands, with both feodums landing in that final hand. And then I had 6 silvers and a chapel in my deck. From then on I just bought provinces when I could and golds when I couldn't.

4) My most glorious, cheapest win ever. Honestly, I'm not even sure if it was legal, because possession has a lot of rules and it's weird. But I think it was, as I couldn't find anything against it in the rules. Anyway, it was a 3 player game with me, my brother, and his wife. My brother is definitely the best at the game and was creaming us. Come the end of the game, I drew a king's court and a scavenger together. I had just bought a possession with that king's court in mind. So I KCd the scavenger and put those two together, with a gold. The next turn, I bought a duchy (because my deck was pretty bad at this point) after KCing the possession. I then took three consecutive turns with my brother's mega draw-your-entire-deck engines and got three provinces, thus gaining 23 points before anyone else took a turn and ending the game. I beat him by 3 or 4 points. He was pretty mad  ;D but then again, I would have been too.

That is how Possession works, but are you saying that you topdecked the King's Court you had just played with Scavenger? Because cards go into play when you play them, not into your discard.
