I am brand new to Dominion. I have been playing for a month or so and find it extremely addicting. Especially with all the expansions. So much good reading in this forum. I have been using the simple "Big Money" strategy to get a hold on the game and have played numerous solitaire games just with the "Big Money" strategy. As all the writings and comments suggest, it takes an average of about 16 - 18 turns to reach 4 Provinces. As I am getting bored of "Big Money" and find that it is finally time to start adding the actual action cards, I thought I would go after one final problem in the "Big Money" arena and see how many turns it could possibly take to get to 4 Provinces given the worst possible draws. I apologize if somebody has already done this and if so, maybe you can direct me to the post. I realize there is really no value other than curious interest. I got 31 turns given 2 "no draws" on turn two and three. Would be interested to know how accurate this is.
Great forum, great game!
