So I started out this game thinking that I'd go for the Remake-City combo that's worked for me in the past; figured the HoP would help me empty piles even faster. When my opponent buys a Province on turn 7, I realize that my method is going to be way too slow. After he buys his 5th Province while I still have nothing at all, I figure I should just resign. The only thing stopping me was that even though I was getting killed, I was still having fun playing my HoPs every turn to gain a bunch of stuff.

So then he has 6 Provinces to my 2 Islands. And then it happens. Turn 18, I draw most of my deck and play 9 Horn of Plenty's worth $8 each, gaining the last 2 Provinces and 7 Duchies, with enough money to buy the last Duchy. Winning 42 to 36.

Your opponent would have won had he not dipped into the Cities at the end =P

Yeah, just 2 Duchies and he would have had me! But I'm sure he thought like I did; that the game was already in the bag.
