That is nutty.

[Qvist]

Oh, dude. What a bad loss. You can't really do anything against it.

[Voltgloss]

Man, ycz6 didn't even mention the most horribly ironic part:

1.  Late in the game, he buys 4 Secret Chambers, clearly in an effort to protect against the rampaging Swindlers.
2.  None of them do.
3.  If they had been Estates, ycz6 would have won.

Such is the problem with games where the Provinces can run out without either player getting the last one. They mess up my endgame intuition.
