Watchtower (3)
Village (3)
Harbinger (3)
Workshop (4)
Monument (4)
Talisman (4)
Council Room (5)
Contraband (5)
Market (5)
Forge (7)

Players:
Cold Kitten, thesunfan, Sanzath, [roundbox & raeko Hydra]

Notes:
Sunfan is bad and ended the game too soon. 12 victory points is a lot of victory points to get from monument through the course of a game and it gave Cold the win here. Buying duchies mid-game appeared to be a solid strat. Watchtower is really cool. Setup in a while where I think every single card was played at least once.

Re: Dominion Thread

warehouse (3)
smugglers (3)
navigator (4)
smithy (4)
caravan (4)
bazaar (5)
festival (5)
market (5)
sentry (5)
council room (5)

players:
sunfan, Wayward, soundwave, tiloco

notes: Really, really cool setup. Smithy is deceptively strong, and I think that its basically a gold in the early game, and even more valuable in the late game. Caravan seems only good when you have several out at once. It is a shame that we were forced to play quickly or become irrelevant because I think this setup is really neat. Wayward was totally robbed as well.

Re: Dominion Thread

I think I did pretty well for my first game.

Re: Dominion Thread

I apologize.

Setup is extremely money heavy, lots of non-terminal draw cards and not a huge amount of combo. Cards that give money almost directly contribute to deck value, so getting early draw to get into high price action cards is not a bad strat, Smithy being an excellent terminal to start with and use when Smugglers isn't useful. Smugglers is a decent utility terminal to pick up early and use when appropriate, and if you're solid on deck value Sentry is good utility to mix in. Otherwise a game of balancing draw and deck value. This almost certainly entails picking up the non-terminals that give money because they're straight upgrades to coins if you can afford them.

Raeko's shitty write ups:

HYDRA USES PEDDLER. The setup we had was great for Peddlers and that card alone carried us to the win. That +1 money makes it just so, so good. Peddler is one of my favourite cards as anyone who played in that game could tell

Last night thesunfan pulled it off by making a tough call on when to end the game. It ended up being the correct choice since his buy pushed him ahead by only two points! If the game had continued and someone else got that colony, he wouldn't have won. Nice timing by sunfan on that one

And then we played Citadels which was also super fun! It is another card game that I think people from FFR would enjoy. thesunfan was the winner of that game as well

Re: Dominion Thread

Re: Dominion Thread

Vagrant (2)
Forager (3)
Tunnel (3)
Jack of all Trades (4)
Noble Brigand (4)
Haggler (5)
Rogue (5)
Count (5)
Mystic (5)
Farmland (6)

Players:
tiloco, sunfan, inDheart, [roundbox & raeko hydra]

Notes:
I was wrong about Noble Brigand. It is a lot of fun.

But don't take it from me, take it from roundbox.

"Noble Brigand is the best card in Dominion. It allows for such multi-faceted gameplay. You can steal silver. You can steal gold. You can mill platinum. Boy, can YOU mill platinum. Its such an interesting card in that it activates itself when you buy it, making people afraid of gaining silver from JOAT in the early game or hardbuying it. So many times this game, we utilized the effects of Noble Brigand to turn this game on its head. Tiloco only won because Tunnel is a cheap, overpowered card. Milling platinum is the best possible outcome, and its very fun and interactive (TM) when I never get to utilize the platinum I got on turn 5. Discarding inDheart's Platinum at the end of the game after getting mystic to activate for the first time is art. Dominion is art. Noble Brigand is ART."
