This game is interesting because there are no villages besides ones from the black market, and university (which doesn't really count.) This makes an apprentice based draw engine mandatory. But what to use for fuel? In comes explorer! I pick up two from university plays, and can proceed to get 7 of the 8 provinces. I have to chop a province at one point, but when I did, I had a three province lead.
My opponent started out the same, but never picked up any money. He stalled hard once he started chopping golds without explorers to replace them. He pulls a goons from the Black market, but it didnt do much, considering there was ghost ship as a better attack, and not enough + buys to get chips.

Interesting game. Normally I would have gone scrying pool here, especially after getting goons. But your apprentice lining up with gold every turn turned out to be just as effective at drawing.
