Beware the 3-pile

Lots of early trashing with remake using market squares to gain golds, then transition to a Grand Market race.  I fall behind in the race, possibly due to a slightly less fortunate T3/T4 draw.  Needless to say, my only thought after falling behind is to 3-pile before my opponent greens too much and I am unable to catch up. 

It worked:

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

I don't like these early golds at all. I'd prefer to clean the deck first, before gaining 2 golds at once. You're pretty much guaranteed to draw them the next turn for GM and then go on getting GMs very quickly. Sea hag is an obvious mistake here, as well.

In this sort of game, you can treat your opponent's Sea Hag as just refuelling your Remake, should you need more Gold.

If the only engine on the board is Procession->Conspirator, I will play it.

At least in this game, you don't need it. You need 2 (max. 3) for kicking into GM getting mode.
