No Need to Gain Any VP

This was a funny game: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201206/11/game-20120611-075551-c6949d48.html

The partners in crime were Wharf, City and Mining Village.
While I doubt I played this very well as I'm always confused when both Wharf and City are available, I liked the end result.

My opponent had trashed his 3 Estates with Develop and I did a quick calculation and noticed that if I got lucky with my draws I could get the necessary $19 by trashing my Mining Villages and buying out the Cities, Wharves and Mining Villages.

Sure enough, that's what happened.

So I ended up winning by NOT gaining any extra Victory Points apart from the 3 Estates I started with.

Too bad there's no achievement for that. :)

I have been involved in many curse heavy games where the final score was negative or close to zero for both players and no additional VP were bought before piles ran out.

I can't say I've seen a non-curse, no VP, piles out win before, though.

Sure, I've seen many a Curse war of attrition.

This was a first for me too, though.
