Normally in a game of Dominion, the first few turns one buys cheap cards, and more expensive cards are bought later. Normally indeed. Not when you're in a 3-player game where both other players use Pirate Ships and Cultists. In
this game I was the proud owner of five Provinces by turn 15. When the game ended at turn 26, I still had five, and had had no turn with more than $4 since then...
