I won't say I "love" this, but it is enlightening to attempt a crazy coin token deck against one of the best players there is, and proceed to get smacked down by Vault-BM.

When a game comes down to some marginal thing. I have lost games because I trashed one of my opening estates, or because I won the knights split but my opponent picked up Dame Josephine, or once even because I had failed to notice how many duchies someone else had bought (this was in a 6 player game where 3 of them, including the winner, had never played before.)

But this is the sort of game where even losing can be fun, more fun than some kinds of victories I have had.

When your opponent has a Saboteur.

Watching my opponent self-destruct his deck with Rats.

What? Sometimes I'm easily entertained...

So pretty much what you love about Dominion is playing against bots?

I've self-destructed my deck with Rats (not to mention Ambassador and Chapel). Now I'm worried I'm a bot.

Which reminds me, when I was still fairly new to Dark Ages, I thought it would be an awesome idea to build a Procession-Rats into Ghost Ship/Mystic engine (yes, Procession was the only trasher). And I sure got a couple of cool turns, after the most impressive of which the decks looked as follows:

SheCantSayNo cards: 8 Rats, 2 Ghost Ship, 2 Mystic, 2 Procession, 3 Copper

karlh cards: 1 Procession, 1 Ghost Ship, 1 Shanty Town, 1 Menagerie, 1 Necropolis, 7 Copper, 4 Silver, 1 Gold, 1 Farmland, 1 Hovel

Just as it dawned on me that perhaps this wasn't the brightest idea ever, my opponent, intimidated by my T9, resigned.

I think I'm a bot now
I keep buying Rats and they take over my deck
I think I'm a bot now
I just can't stop myself from buying that Jack

Well, that's one of the cases where my "no resign" philosophy would do me good.

No, I said 'sometimes' I'm easily entertained.  And I haven't played the bots with rats yet. 
All of my experiences have been against live players.

I need a more skilled group... :-\

My favorite thing about Dominion is how easy it is to make fan cards. No other game that I have played has so many things you can add to it without introducing new mechanics. Fan cards add so much variety to the game and there's practically an endless line of them.

It's not so easy to make good fan cards though. ;)

This is fantastic. I want to vote it for Greatest Dominion Moment 2013.
