Hello,
Yesterday at four player home-game we played the following board:
2 - Pearl Diver
3 - Chancelor
4 - Pirate Ship
4 - Sea Hag
4 - Gardens
4 - Feast
4 - Caravan
4 - Throne room
4 - Treasure map
5 - Ghost ship
(no Colony/Platinum)
The winner of that game bought Pirate Ship on first turn, then on third turn and started pirate - shipping everyone till he get 8 coins. To easy himself a task he bought throne room which had helper him a few times. Everyone was without money in their hands at that time. Then every pirate ship hand he bought province or double province if throne room was in hand with pirate ship.
Other two players also bought pirate ship, but only one, not two like winner. They also bought sea hag, but that did not change anything. One of them had 5 coins worth loot and started buying duchies (he finished second), the other one had four coins pirate ship loot and bought gardens, he finished third.
Is there any other comparable or better strategy on this board? Is double sea hagging possible?
Thank you
