Miraculously, he gets the first prize.

The only way this could have been cooler is if you had Hovel in hand when you bought the Province.

[SCSN]

But then I could have had at most $7!

[dondon151]

Huh, it seems like Goko logs don't show what you draw from Jack.

So I read on the wiki about a great combo with 4 fortresses and 4 bishops and nothing else (besides cantrips). So I decided to try it out (in real life, in a two player game against my wife, as that is pretty much the only way I play) and learned 3 things:

1. If you can get it to work (for instance, because your opponent has no ideas what you are doing) then it is amazing. I ended up with way more points than I had ever seen before, despite having no green cards at all, and if I had been smarter about how I played my cards or had not been so quick to run out the piles, it could have been a whole lot more.
2. If you are playing a 2 player game for fun, a combo like that is actually pretty boring once you have set it up.
3. If you are playing a 2 player game for fun and you do a combo like that to run away with the game, you end up pissing off your wife.

Yay!

welcome to the club my friend.

I just played a game and forgot to grab the log, but in one turn I played a Rebuild, naming Tunnel, discarding 2 Tunnels for 2 Golds, trashing an Estate, revealing and discarding 2 Market Squares for 2 Golds, and gaining a Tunnel. Take that, Treasure Map!

[Qvist]

Take that, Treasure Map!

So, you had a Watchtower to put these Golds on your deck, too?

...as well as basically evey other turn .

[ipofanes]

Why only every other turn, did crucial cards miss the reshuffle?

[SCSN]

He probably means every turn other than the one he posted.

[sudgy]

I think he was sarcastic.

[ipofanes]

Yes, I was a bit in a tongue-in-cheek mood.

[Watno]

because the rest of the turns were executed by my opponent.

[ipofanes]

No Possession and Outpost, I take it?

[SCSN]

Yay, my first Rebuild game where I ignore the card: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130430/log.505d732a51c359e6597efeb8.1367321597618.txt

Alt-VP games are terrible for Rebuild, since usually it's not cost-effective to turn estates into $4 cards. Plus here you have so many cards to name. Which is interesting since special Treasures make Mine way better.

[mail-mi]

Real life game, my chapel did not connect my estates until after the 5th reshuffle.

My dad killed me that game.

Well at least you culd get rid of your coppers...right?

Opened chapel silver, turn four chapel silver CCC. My dad went for chapel-poorhouse. KILLED me.

Would it have made the most sense to trash the three copper and get a poor house?

[ftl]

Probably depends on the board. I'd say if you got a silver already, that means you probably weren't going for poor houses - or else why would you have gotten the silver?

That's what I did.

[Witherweaver]

Right, but I meant, given the bad shuffle luck, is it better to change strategies and be a turn behind his opponent or continue on and likely still be behind with whatever he was going to do.

Take Mountebank with 5 and delay trashing.

This is generally the worst possible idea. Playing your opponent's strategy from two turns behind is a great way to lose by two turns, because your deck is going to play out at the same pace as his.
