Play Squire(gain Silver), buy Poor House
Play Necropolis, Ruined Village, Ruined Market, Poor House(reveal Abandoned Mine), buy Death Cart, Peddler
Play Peddler, Death Cart(trash Ruined Village), Silver, buy Stonemason, overpay $6, gain Border Village, Develop, Border Village, Remake

Play Develop(trash Expand, gain Province, Border Village, Graverobber)
Play Graverobber(trash Border Village, gain Province)

3B(Black Market, Baker, Bane) are unused. Of course, this is improvable.

Wow, this gain without buying solution is very elegant. I will see what I can do with this approach.

I worked on gaining Colonies without buying, in Lunatic Mode. I got 3 so far:

Kingdom
Poor House
Stonemason
Develop
Remodel
Remake
Baker
Butcher
Catacombs
Forge
Peddler

Buy Abandoned Mine and Ruined Village.
Play Abandoned Mine. Buy Poor House.
Play Necropolis, Ruined Village, Poor House. Buy Stonemason, overpaying $2 for 2 Peddlers.
Play Peddler and Copper. Use coin token. Buy Develop.
Play Remake, trashing 2 Peddlers for 2 Platinums.
Play Platinum. Buy Butcher.
Play Stonemason, trashing Platinum, gaining Peddler, Border Village, and Catacombs.
Play Develop, trashing Peddler, gaining Platinum and Forge.
Play Forge, trashing Catacombs and Border Village, gaining Colony and Remodel.
Play Remodel, trashing Platinum, gaining Colony.
Play Butcher, trashing Platinum, gaining Colony.

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I don't see you ever get the remake.
