This was a real blast, with all the expected participants: City, Colony, Goons, King's Court, Native Village, Platinum, Quarry, Salvager, Stables, Tactician, Tournament, and Tribute

Anyway, I took all the prizes except Bag of Gold, and I actually made good use of them. I could King's Court Salvager to grind up those extra Estates from Followers into Money and Buys for my Quarries and Goons. Diadem worked nicely with my 10 Level 2 Cities. And Princess was just the icing on the cake. I scored some 160 points on my last turn, ending with 200 points exactly. It could have been a lot more, had I bought more Goons. But that Diadem was worth, like, $20 or something, which was neat.
A hearty thanks to my opponent, Crunchums, who played out the whole thing with a pleasant and supportive attitude. I truly appreciate it!
