Shortest Game Ever

So, I played this game and opened Governor turn 1 and then my opponent resigned. I mean, Governor is a great opening and all, but I think there are still ways to win.

Here is the game log. http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201202/13/game-20120213-232840-79f4ebab.html

Nicely done. I think he probably felt that at this point, with no treasure except copper, that he was just too far behind.

You know, there may be other reasons for resigning a game early on, like, your house is burning. Especially since Governor isn't a totally great opening at all. There are 14 5$ cards that have a higher ranking when opening with them and nothing else.

Given he started another game 7 minutes later according to CR.com, I suspect it wasn't a burning house.

I don't know. If he started one minute later, sure, that's no burning house. Seven minutes, though… that could go either way. You can put out a lot of fires in seven minutes. Then, once the fire is out, nothing like relaxing with a nice game of Dominion.

Vetoing Governor, of course.

Or perhaps his internet connection cut out for a few minutes.  Happens to me semi-frequently.

To discard or not to discard?  That is the question.

He intentionally resigned, though. You get the "X resigns from the game (client disconnected or unresponsive)" message if it's a disconnect.
