Fun game. All of us got a few provinces, at least one castle, and at least one Temple. Player 2 got a ton of VP from Temples. Player 1 went for Provinces, and I went heavy for castles. One one Legionary was bought, but Overlord was played as Legionary several times. Ball was a good enough substitute for +buy this game, that Travelling Fair was only bought twice. One of the main reasons I won was that I used Haunted Woods more than anyone else and it was the only good draw.
Final scores
Player 1: 56 points (had six provinces and opulent castle)
Player 2: 52 points (incl. three provinces, two castles: a humble castle, and a king's castle to keep me from getting both.)
Me: 66 points (incl. three provinces, six castles)
