I have to credit WinterSpartan for this one.

In celebration of my daughter's first win against me, using Enterprise mainly.

Facing a big score deficit, finally melding Vaccination, but to your horror, it melds them Machine Tools and melds you Refrigeration:

Dwarves are associated with mining because you didn't excavate any more minerals than you could use, screw being able to stand upright while working. Somehow I doubt that MTR mining was a thing of the 17th century.

Nevertheless, the effect of Coal in Innovation is to remove the top cards of a pile.

It's been a while since I played Innovation so the terms might be a bit off...

Seriously though, why do a bunch of the yellow leaf-y cards seem so aggressive?? I would have thought that health-related technologies would have more of a positive effect for you, rather than a negative effect for your opponents. Is your opponent's score pile literally smallpox? Does this make thematic sense to anybody?

When you're the only one who has vaccination, there's a lot of stuff you can do to harm your opponents.

[Drab Emordnilap]

Look, man, vaccination is important. Look how sick your people are getting, working in those coal mines! Healthy people will lead to a better society in the long term, but at the cost of short term profitability.

Can someone explain this to me?

You don't have to achieve in order - if you have 45 points and an age 9 card on your board, you can achieve the Age 9 regardless of whether there are other achievements left. Hence, if your opponent has a score-removing card out (or one that changes your top cards), it may be in your best interest to achieve the higher age first, on the assumption that you'll still be able to get the lower age one next turn.

the mechanic was clear, but the strategic motivation wasn't.  Thanks.  Am new to the game.

(re "new to the game": it's funny because I've played like 3k games of dominion as compared with like 10-15 games of innovation.  But to the board gamers I know, 10-15 plays counts as experienced.)
