Variant: Chapelab 1This is my best chapelab strategy and is using Matt’s trashing rules.Buy rules:- CHAPEL: money <5, max 1 chapel- PROVINCE: always- DUCHY: provinces left <= 2 [d]- ESTATE: provinces left <= 1 [e]- GOLD: always- LABORATORY: max 4- SILVER:alwaysPlay rules:- LABORATORY: always- CHAPEL: play if it would trash at least one card. Evaluate each card in hand: - ESTATE: provinces left <= 4 [f] - COPPER: always unless total money would go below 6
You're reading them right. Why doesn't it make sense to you?Buy Duchy if there are 2 or fewer Provinces remaining.Buy Estate if there is only 1 Province left.Trash Estate with Chapel if there are 4 or fewer Provinces remaining.... OK, this one is weird.

OK, this one is weird.Wow you guys are quick!I get the Duchy part. I don't get why estate says <= when there can't be a <1 province (or is that possible in expansions? I only have the base set so far).It's that last one that I thought was weird too. Wouldn't you want to trash your estates in the early game to clear out your deck (i.e. >= 4 provinces remaining) rather than later?
Ahhh! I get it, provinces could be at zero because you just bought the last one and still have money and buys to burn. So you want to max our your VPs since you're the one ending the game. That is very clear. Should I assume my thought of trashing estates earlier rather than later is correct?
CHAPEL: money <5
