I personally like 3-piles. Somehow alternate victory conditions are always really interesting to me.

I don't like the slow but steady 3 piling as much as the "buy EVERYTHING" 3 piling, but it's the easiest way to control tempo and pace in the game, so it's still neat to me.

My absolute favorite are things like "huh, you can DO that?". E.g.:

Embargoing the estates twice, buying them out, buying the curses out and winning by a score of 1-0.

Bootstrapping Kc/Iw/Hwy into a 3 pile ending (play 3 Hwy, Kc -> Kc -> Iw -> Iw gain 3 piles & win).

Gaining two Treasure Maps, playing them, drawing the golds and then remodeling them into provinces in one go.

Kc/Forge/Fortress/Fortress.

Trader a peddler, play a library with an empty hand.

Adding to the above poster:

The kinds of megaturns that I enjoy the most, if you'd even call them megaturns, are 3-piling while sneaking out a win. Especially IRL, opponents don't expect it and many lols (for lack of a more fitting term) are to be had.

I love it when you look like a noob spamming ironworks etc., while your opponent pursues a "smart" strategy involving trashing, and then you win on piles because you still had your starting estates.

Anything involving lots of reactions is always fun for me. I especially like Trader+Watchtower vs Mountebank. One time I had the combo against a KC'd Mountebank. I hope there are more exciting reactions to come.

How about a Golem-Conspirator-Salvager mega turn?

It's the mega turns you didn't even see before the game started that are the ones that make me smile the most.

Sure can! They are really fun, trust me.

My working definition is "a turn where I buy more than 2 provinces or 2 colonies".

I like the kind where you draw (and partially build) a ~50 card deck, grab 2 Colonies to take the lead and pile out - without KC or TR.

Superfast Quarry-Wharf-Village games are neat too. Although I mess them up as often as not :/

I've also recently become a fan of Outpost. Doubles the sadism of engines that over-draw your deck but can only buy a little at a time. Or double-Tac engines that have an Action to spare.

I voted for SP though. I especially like how it synergizes with Ambassador.

And now I know, they ARE fun. Failed to veto KC in a game yesterday, and bought Potion/Universities on a board with Highways, which split 5-5. Picked up a single woodcutter for the plus buy, and enough KC that everything worked towards the end. (Even got to discover that a KC'ed highway only gets you one price reduction, though 3 cards and 3 actions).  On my penultimate turn, I bought 4 provinces at $2 each, and on my last turn I used multiple universities to 3 pile while ahead, then bought 3 free provinces and a free duchy.

The best mega turn is the elusive Rats megaturn. That's the turn you imagine must exist in your first few games of Dark Ages, because why else would your friends be letting so many Rats accumulate in their decks?
