This board had nothing... But we both tried (different) weird strategies instead of just going Big Money.
With some ridiculous results...
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201210/19/game-20121019-092422-afc8de10.htmlDuchies and Estates both get emptied with 3 provinces still left. I don't think I have enough economy to ever get another province, so I start trying to end the game on piles (buying Pearl Divers when there are still 8 left) before MM can buy the two provinces (out of three) he needs to win. There are still 3 PDs left when he gets his second province.
So I have to change tracks and try to find a way to get to that last province. I buy an Inn and put some Barons and Inns (and 7 Pearl Divers) back into my deck.
Then I get lucky.
(ednever draws: 2 Barons, a Pearl Diver, a Gold, and an Inn.)
— ednever's turn 30 —
ednever plays a Pearl Diver.
... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
... and moving the bottom card of the deck to the top. (it was a copper)
ednever plays an Inn.
... drawing 2 cards and getting +2 actions.
... discarding 2 cards. (discard Curse+Baron)
ednever plays a Baron.
... getting +1 buy.
... discarding an Estate.
... getting +$4.
ednever plays a Gold and a Copper.
ednever buys a Province.
(ednever draws: an Estate, an Inn, a Pearl Diver, and 2 Coppers.)
All Provinces are gone.
Note the turn count: Turn 30!
Pretty sure some Gold and Silver would have beat that...
