Just played
this game against califax(40).
Key cards: Governor, Remodel, Salvager, Trade Route, University.
With both Governor and Remodel, we both chose the obvous route: Potion -> University -> Governors -> Gold -> Province (Remodel).
I opened with Trade Route, because I have a weakness for it. Somehow I'm always scared that I'll need it later and wished I'd picked it up sooner.
I doubt whether it was a valuable addition this game, but with Governors I didn't need much other money.
We split the Governors 4/6, but somehow I won.
I gained Golds with it 8 times over his 6 times.
He used it to draw three times, I only drew with it once.
So what made the difference in this game?
Was it that:
- He had too many Universities?
- He had too many Remodels?
- He had too little Golds?
Looking at our end decks, I would've thought we were at least equal, so I was surprised to win the Province split 6/2!
Looking back at the log however, it seems his draws weren't that great, but I wondered if it was due to one of the factors I mentioned earlier or just plain bad luck.
Any thoughts?
