Pretty much what WW said - City and Pawn work well together (because the +Action from City lets you play Pawn for Card + Coin or occasionally Card + Buy), but it's really not enough on its own (something like, say, Talisman helps a lot). City + FV just means a million surplus actions you can't do anything with. And I mean, look at the point totals for both of you at the end, and the total economy. The last two piles were run out simultaneously, so level 3 Cities didn't even happen. You should be able to do better than this with a BM-ish strategy, even though there aren't really good Actions for that. I dunno, pick up a Forge and a Mandarin, or something.
