I gained a Warrior.  How?

You bought Pilgrimage on Making Fun when Adventures first came online.

How does this game evolve, how does it end, and who wins?  And no cheating by finding the game log.  (And I still can't figure out how to get the Event images to show up -- Events were Quest and Lost Arts.)

 

Code: [Select]

Quest, Lost Arts, Doctor, Guide, Scheme, Bishop, Caravan, Quarry, Spice Merchant, Thief, Storyteller, Hireling
EDIT
I'm not really looking for a "Player A wins if they do X, Y, and Z".  I'm more so looking for something like "Player A wins if they do X first, or faster, or more often".

Golden deck on bishop, whoever gets better doctor trashing  luck wins.

Ditto. Nothing else here is surefire.

Hmm, not sure.  Could you guarantee that you could get your deck like that before your opponent starts Thieving things?  You would have to act fast.  And even if so, is that guaranteed to out-pace the deck that is buying Provinces and Bishoping non-green things?

[Seprix]

There's no village, so there will only be one Thief a turn. One Bishop a turn. All roads appear to lead to the Bishop golden deck. I agree that Thief is prominent here, so the only alternative to the Bishop deck that can possibly beat it is a Thief/Storyteller engine, maybe with a Hireling thrown in.

edit: peeked at the log. Interesting match, I could see it devolving into that, but I'm not 100% sure it is inevitable.

There is Lost Arts (which you probably noticed).

No, I actually forgot. Darned lack of an image.

I suppose the art has been........ lost.

I have three cards in my hand, and you have 1 card between your deck and discard pile.

I play Tribute, and you reveal and discard that single card.

I then play two Legionaries, revealing nothing, and then buy a Province.

What card of yours did Tribute reveal?

[Limetime]

Crown

Also coin token is on Legionary and your tributes reveals any action card.

[faust]

Crown

Also coin token is on Legionary and your tributes reveals any action card.

And Champion is in play, so the revealed card could as well have been a Curse.

Unexpected pop quiz!

These questions are not particularly tricky, so I am consolidating them into one post. Okay, the last one requires some thought. Think of it as extra credit.

1. I gained 2 cards with different costs via Stonemason overpay. What was one of those cards?

2. What handsizes are possible at the end of your turn (after clean-up)? Assume an arbitrary Kingdom and an infinite Supply.

3. I played a Tribute, and the player to my left revealed 2 differently-named cards. I got no bonus from the Tribute plays. My deck was not empty. What cards were revealed?

4. In a hypothetical game you are not allowed to buy any card-shaped things except Castles. What is the highest-cost Castle you can get?

Answers (no peeking until you try to solve!)

1. Mandarin

2. Any non-negative integer

3. Curse and Hovel

4. King's Castle

I got the third and fourth ones.  For the second one, I figured out how to get anywhere from 2 to 6, but I didn't think of Expedition or having 0 or 1 cards in your deck.  For the first one, I couldn't figure it out for a while even after reading the solution, but then I remembered   Quarry  .

1. could also be          Border Village

For 1, Peddler should also be valid.  Both this answer and the provided one depend on tricky timing when you check the cost.

PPE: I don't think BV works because the card you gain from BV isn't one you gained from Stonemason overpay.

4. In a hypothetical game you are not allowed to buy any card-shaped things except Castles. What is the highest-cost Castle you can get?

1. Peddler and a card costing less. A card with a Ferry token that's later removed and a card costing less. Any two cards with different costs that have their cost reduced to $0 thanks to a cost reducer.

2. Any. Counts below 5 by trashing down (Raze or Ratcatcher for example to get to 0), any number of Expeditions to increase by 2, and Save to get odd numbers.

3. Curse and Hovel, the only non-VP, non-Action, non-Treasure cards there are.

4. Any. Just get up to Small Castle, then trash another Castle each time you have it in hand. It's possible to reach up to $6 without that to get Haunted Castle, and with its Gold you can get $9 to reach Grand Castle, with Opulent Castle, 3 VP cards and Gold in hand. To max out your points, trash Crumbling Castle for King's Castle and keep the rest.

Edit: +1 for the answer to #1, which i didn't think of. Technically it's as correct as the other solutions, because even there the cards don't really have different costs - although the first has a different cost the moment you gain the second, which no other solution i saw provides.

PPE: I don't think BV works because the card you gain from BV isn't one you gained from Stonemason overpay.

I think he says BV works because BV lets him gain Mandarin.

Didn't realize how that works at first....
Play Crown, buy Stonemason, overpay 6, gain Peddler, gain BV to gain Mandarin(trashing Crown). Peddler now costs 8 and BV costs 6.

Also,
Peddler+Villa works with BV too. Peddler only costs less during the buy phase.

Hmm, I was thinking it would be:

Play Quarry, buy Stonemason, overpay 4 (or 3), gain Border Village for Mandarin (or just Mandarin directly).  BV now costs $6 (Mandarin now costs $5) and your second Stonemason gain will still be for a $4 (or $3).

Right, I realized after the fact that Quarry was probably an unstated assumption for Mandarin solutions. But it wasn't what I thought of first, and I was too lazy to change the post.

Mint works instead of mandrin.
