Let’s think and play properly. The opponent is Hard AI.
Hmmm…lots of cards I’ve never seen before. First, think for yourself without looking at online explanations.
- Fool’s Gold, First Look.
- A treasure that becomes more powerful when gathered together. 1 gold for 2 costs is inferior to a copper coin, but if you get 2 out, they cost 5 gold, which is equivalent to a silver coin gold coin, and since they cost 4, they are a 5-cost bargain compared to a silver coin gold coin. The problem is that you need a considerable amount to cover it.
- I feel like I have to buy these strong systems when they gather because I don’t want them to be bought up by the other side.
- In situations where you start buying endgame victory point cards and the deck thins out, can you exchange them for gold coins? Nice.
- Hori Terminal Draw
- Watch, first look
- I feel that not consuming actions and requiring the disposal of one piece after seeing three pieces is very restrictive, and I wonder if it is effective in compressing the early stages of the video and the mansion full of video.
- I have a feeling it will be a dead card after compression.
- Butler, I’ve seen it before, but what was it?
- Draw, coin, and discard selection cards
- If destruction is the goal, is this better than watching? After compression, you can use it for draws or coins.
- Uh, unlike the lookout, it’s a terminal action.
- Conclave, first time
- +2 coins
- If you have an action card in your hand that is not on the field, you can use it for another +1 action, so it’s really +2.
- duplication
- Another card is acquired when a card with a cost of 6 or less is acquired in the tavern reserve.
- You can earn 2 gold coins when you buy gold coins.
- Duke Special Victory Points
- harbor
- Draw + purchase, lasts 2 turns
- forging
- Destroyed and cost combined to acquire
- Court, first time
- 3 times action use
- Chameleon Habits
- Draws and coins are swapped.
- Mhm, the conclave is turning into a draw card. Wouldn’t it be pretty good if you could use the card you drew after you drew it?
- Project: Evil Deviousness
- You can accumulate 1 draw right each turn.
Supply Check
- Action increase: Conclave, Court
- Court + butler” yields 6 gold.
- Draw: moat, butler, conclave + chameleon, landing place, deviousness
- The devious “accumulate tokens and use them when you have a bad hand” approach sounds good.
- Purchase: Boat Terminal
- Compression: watchman, butler, forging
- Attacks: None
- Special Victory Points: Duke
policy consideration
- I’d like to verify that the conclave can perform the drawn action.
- Compression and buying a genus state seems like a good idea.
- There could be a line to increase the dukedom all over with duplicates.
- I’m going to play with this supply a few times, so let’s go the route of using something I’ve never used before first.
- Butler, deviousness. Thereafter, while compressing with the butler, buy fool’s gold for 2 gold, silver coins for 3 gold, a conclave for 4 gold and a landing place for 5 gold.
- I think it is difficult to aim to draw out every turn because there is no easy-to-use action increase and draw. I would draw more to increase the turnover rate.
- If the landing place comes once every two times, it’s always a +1 purchase, so the court + butler will be able to make good use of the 6 gold produced by the court + butler.
Let’s do it, Round 1
- AI has been playing exactly the same w
- T3: Destroy the mansion and fool’s gold for 2 gold
- T4: Conclave with 4 gold and silver coins, but learning is a priority.
- T5: Butler, Conclave, Copper 3
- I’m torn between discarding more with the butler or not and buying a landing place, because I just discarded two cards, so if the landing place comes in at this time, it’ll be every turn draw and increase the turnover without compressing it now.
- 7 gold, so you can buy a court, but not now, I feel.
- I have six cards left in the deck, so if I draw on the butler, the landing place I just bought is instantly shuffled.
- Conclave, 2 draws with butler, copper coin comes, 7 gold, 5 gold to buy a landing place.
- T6: Copper Coin 3 Fool’s Gold 1
- Buy silver? Draw 3 for a devious token?
- Let’s draw three.
- Steward, landing, 5 gold.
- Backstage playing the boatyard and pulling a conclave.
- Oh, but I also drew a copper coin, so that’s 6 gold. I can buy a gold coin.
- T7: Butler 6 copper coins
- Compression or buy a gentry state for 8 gold.
- Compress and buy silver coins for 4 gold?
- Oh, and we’re buying more, so we can have fool’s gold x2.
- T8: Conclave, copper coins, fool’s gold, gold coins
- Conclave with +2 gold and poof!
- Shall we try the conclave + chameleon?
- There is an option to use devious tokens…
- I drew fool’s gold x2 w
- I wanted to verify that I could use the action card I drew.
- 13 gold in total, purchase 1 → Province
- T9: Steward, landing, 3 coppers
- Well, first of all, I’ll use the pier.
- 4 copper coins
- Is the Fool’s Gold x2 subtle here? Conclave?
- T10: Opponent gains a province, will you turn fool’s gold into gold?
- Hand, copper coins, fool’s gold x2, gold coins, so even if you discard one, you can still buy a genus state (Note: misjudgment).
- Oops, you can replace any number of cards in your hand, or just one.
- I was only going to use those eight gold pieces to buy the genshūtō, but I got a conclave and gold coins at the dock.
- Oh, fool’s gold, if you destroy one of the two pieces, the rest is not one gold!
- The chameleon conclave safely drew the fool’s gold.
- Can I use an action card drawn in a conclave?
- 12Kin, Genus and Conclave
- T11: Butler, Copper 4
- Draw 4 cards with the devious tokens!
- Chameleon Conclave with 2 draws
- The landing sites drawn by the conclave can be used.
- Correct behavior?
- Well, if it’s available, we’ll use it.
- Draw more conclaves
- Chameleon Conclave Draws Conclave
- I can use the original butler I had, but not the conclave.
- Oh, because the conclave is already in place.
- I have 13 gold now, so I have the choice of destroying the copper coins with the butler, or +4 coins with the butler and the conclave to buy 2 genus states.
- I’m at the end of the line, so I’ll buy a genshu.
- T12: Opponent also buys a province and has one card left, the score is 25 for me and 22 for opponent, and I have 2 gold coins and fool’s gold in my hand, so I cannot reach the province.
- I was going to draw in a trick, I thought.
- Oh, the gold coins came from the effect of the shipyard. W. Purchase of the province of the genus and victory.
The other party is a butler, a landing place.
second round (of tennis, etc.)
- We won easily, so now let’s ban the conclave and duplicate, duke and ducal.
- I can’t get more actions, by the time I get the court, the deck is full, should I use less terminal actions?
- And don’t even get me started on the boat docks.
- I’m having a hard time deciding whether or not to compress with a butler.
- Hmmm… I still think the previous plan is easier to work with.
- Duplicates move to the mat if you use them, so they don’t squeeze the deck as much?
- Is it inevitable that the deck turnover will go down in the Duke’s Duchy anyway?
- I feel like I should throw away the copper coins, though.
- Should I play it as differently as possible to learn, or not include a butler, first hand silver + duplicate (duplicate stero)
- silver coin
- Play duplicates, 4 gold to buy duplicates or silver coins, or silver coins, or, nay, insurance against accidents in hand with deviousness.
- 6 gold, buy gold coins and activate replication.
- 5 gold… the dukedom is not ready yet, maybe a silver coin.
- Reproduction, 5k gold
- Three draws for deviousness!
- 10 gold.
- buy a state of the genus
- 7 gold, buy gold coins and duplicate
- 6 Gold, Gold Coin
- 6 Gold, Gold Coin
- 8Kin, Province
- Reproduction, 5k gold
- 4 draws by deviousness!
- 12 gold, buy a genus state
- My opponent and I each have three cards, and we’ll be done before we can buy the public domain.
- Oh, right, I should have bought the dukedom instead of the silver coins.
- 10 gold to buy a province
- The other party also buys and loses.
- Me:Province 4, House 3
- AI: 4 provinces, 2 duchies, 2 villas
- AI was again a butler plus a landing place.
Third round with the same strategy
-
Reproductions + silver coins
-
conspiracy
-
Reproduction, fool’s gold at 2 gold
-
silver coin
-
5 gold, 2 draws by deviousness, gold coins purchased and duplicated.
-
Play duplicate, buy gold coins and duplicate
-
Buy gold coins
-
4 gold, 2 draws for deviousness, buy a gentry state
- Let’s buy public domain instead of gold from here.
-
Reproduction, 6 gold, not gold coins, public domain, to be reproduced.
-
The other party bought a gentry state, do you want to turn the kingdom of fools into gold coins?
- If I change it, it will be 7 gold, so I’ll pass.
-
6K gold for public domain
-
Duke for 6 gold, now that he has 4 dukes, he will have 4 dukes from then on.
-
8 gold. If you buy a genshu, you have one card left, if you buy a genshu, it is 33 to 30, and if your opponent can buy a genshu next time, you will lose the game in reverse.
- Possibly, there is a line that if you draw 4 in a devious way and get a duplicate, you can buy 2 dukes to make it 8 points 35 to 30, and your opponent wins the genus and turns it around, but the game is still not over by 1 point.
- If that happens, I get 5 points in the public domain, so that’s an advantage.
- Which is correct…
- 8 cards in the deck, 12 cards in the discard pile… the duplicate would be on the discard side.
- Purchase of the genus state
- Possibly, there is a line that if you draw 4 in a devious way and get a duplicate, you can buy 2 dukes to make it 8 points 35 to 30, and your opponent wins the genus and turns it around, but the game is still not over by 1 point.
-
Oh, the duplicate came in the draw w
- W lost the game in a predictable upset.
- Me: 3 provinces, 4 duchies, 2 mansions
- AI: 5 Provinces, 2 Duchies
-
Let’s consider the side that draws with Undo.
-
Draw 4 in deviousness, play duplicate, 9 gold but buy duke and duplicate.
- The other party buys a gentry state, 35-36.
-
Public domain 40-36 for 5 gold.
- The other party buys a province and loses.
-
Well, I still think it’s a little too much to ask for this line.
- But I felt that the frequency of duplicates is very low.
- Can we get away with compressing it with a butler?
Round 4 to be done by butler + duplicate
- If you buy a butler and a duplicate on your first move, you’ll have an accident, so either butler + deviousness or butler + silver coin.
- I’d rather have a bad card than a silver coin because the bad card averages +1 card, so 1.4 coins per turn, and it compresses it even more.
- Butler 3 gold, 2 discarded, fool’s gold.
- 3 gold and silver coins
- 4 Gold, reproduction
- Butler, 2 copper coins, fool’s gold, mansion
- 2 discarded and fool’s gold.
- Reproduction 5 gold
- 4 draws for deviousness
- The butler’s here.
- Reproductions, gold coin reproductions
- The other party purchases a gentry state, and the fool’s gold is made into a gold coin?
- If you do, 6 gold, if you don’t, 10 gold.
- Let’s buy a genus state.
- Looks like the other party turned it into a gold coin.
- Reproduction 4 gold
- Hmmm, I only have one draw… but I’ll use it.
- Here comes the gold coin!
- Reproductions, gold coin reproductions
- Butler, 7 gold, fool’s gold. Would you trade a gold nugget of fool’s gold?
- 2 gold in exchange and a butler, and a genus state.
- 7 gold, fool’s gold >> genus without exchange
- Duplicate 4 gold, 2 draws with deviousness.
- 8 gold, duplicate, genus state.
- The opponent bought the genshu and lost by one point.
- Hmmm, this one doesn’t compress very well with the butler doing the “discard two pieces and fool’s gold” thing twice.
- Me: 5 copper coins, 1 fool’s gold, 1 silver coin, 5 gold coins, 7 others.
- AI: 6 copper coins, 4 fool’s gold bars, 6 gold coins, 8 others
- You have a lot of fool’s gold, you have more purchase rights at the landing, and you’re using the extra coins as fool’s gold.
- Hmmm, here I used the boat landing too, it’s just an imitation of AI…
- Okay, let’s use the conclave.
Round 5 in silver coin conclave duplicate
- First Hand Silver Conclave
- 6 Gold, Gold Coin
- 2Kin, Hori
- Conclave for +2 coins, moat for 2 draws, 7 gold for gold
- 5 gold…by devious means.
- 5 gold moat, 6 gold in belly draw, gold coins
- 5 gold, duplicated here
- 5 gold moat, draw and gold coin
- Conclave 5 gold, draw 6 gold, gold coins. I think I’ve had enough by now.
- 6 gold duplicates, 2 public domain
- Draw at moat, 6 gold, public domain
- Chameleon Conclave, 12 gold, only one right to purchase the genus state.
- Reproduction, 9k gold. Province of
- 2 gold moat, 1 genshu left, 12 points difference. Impossible. There are 8 devious tokens, not being used effectively. Even if I use these now, I can’t sow them because I only have one purchase right.
- I knew, essentially, that the only additional right to purchase in this supply, the boat landing, is required for the deck.
Round 6 at the landing site + replication
- First move is silver coins + deviousness
- silver coin
- duplication
- 7 gold… gold coins, or rather, a forge or court that is not used at all?
- (The courts don’t overlap in any way, no matter how you think about it.)
- Can you dispose of a batch of copper coins by forging from a devious draw, or two silver coins into a gold coin, or a gold coin and a mansion into a genus?
- Let’s forge it in.
- silver coin
- Duplication and forging came together w
- I’ll send a duplicate to Matt and we’ll get back to you on the forging.
- moat with two gold pieces
- 5 gold for a boat landing.
- Ah, there is a way to duplicate the landing place…
- Maybe I should keep it because I can forge it.
- 6 gold for gold
- Reproduction 5 gold
- Opponent buys gentry and leads by 10 points, public domain replication.
- 5 gold, you could honestly buy a public domain here, but you have 8 devious tokens accumulated, so what the hell, let’s use them!
- 9 gold, forging, 2 boat docks, moat, 3 mansions
- I don’t see more action.
- Forging destroyed 3 mansions, moats, and 1 copper coin to gain a province.
- Purchase of the genus state with the remaining 8 gold.
- That makes it 18-19.
- 9 gold, forging, 2 boat docks, moat, 3 mansions
- 6 money, public domain
- Forging, copper coins, gold coins, and dukedom2
- hmm
- Jusyu 1 point left, 10 point difference.
- Draw 1 for deviousness.
- Genshu is here…
It would have been fun to win the same supply in two completely different ways, but it didn’t work out the way I thought it would, and the first plan was the most successful, so I guess it’s okay.
Oh, that’s right, I said, “First, let’s think for ourselves without looking at the online commentary. Let’s look at the explanations.
- Collect combo parts in duplicate.
- Duplication is a terminal action, so it’s hard to increase with stero
- The reserve card is no longer on the field, so it is subject to the use of the conclave any number of times.
- Scales from the eyes!
- Forging is suitable for combo decks with easy cost adjustment
- Pier Stello
I see… I see… I can roughly summarize them as these two.
- Pier Stello
- Duplicate + Conclave for more action, and finally a combo deck that uses the Conclave 3 times in the court for 6 gold.
- We need a landing place too.
Let’s do the landing stero first, Round 7.
- First move, 2 silver coins
- 4 gold, what shall I do, I’ll be devious.
- 5Kin, landing
- Draw at the pier, 7 gold, maybe gold coins.
- Draws in the effect of a landing, 5 gold, another landing.
- 8Kin, Province
- 6 gold. Maybe we could buy gold, but I’m thinking we could do a devious 4 draw and then do a landing draw.
- No! Let’s subtract all the copper coins and buy 12 gold w genus states.
- 2 gold came for 2 pieces of landing, 2 gold to buy something? Fool’s gold?
- Draws the landing place under the effect of the landing place. 6 gold is there. Use the landing place! I buy a province.
- 21-18, 5 gold. There are 3 gongzhou left. I could buy the gongs honestly, but I’ll have to be devious and draw two to try to get some upside.
- Success! 8 gold, buy a genus state.
- 3 gold on the landing, 5 gold on the draw. One gentry left, 27 to 24. buy gongs.
- Draw!
Let’s do a replication + conclave Round 8
- First move, butler + silver coin
- Butler 4 gold, +2 gold to buy gold coins
- 4K gold, conclave
- 5Kin, landing
- Butler Conclave 3 Gold
- Chameleon Conclave draws 2 and plays butler for effect.
- +2 gold to buy gold coins or throw away 2 coins, but let’s compress!
- 3 gold to buy silver coins
- 6 Gold, Gold Coin
- Chameleon Conclave Butler
- I have 7 gold. Discard and buy gold coins.
- 4 gold at the pier, terminal action, so I’d say +2 gold at the chameleon.
- Oh, I wonder if this will be +2 even if it is sustained.
- No, you got drawn.
- Oh, I wonder if this will be +2 even if it is sustained.
- Conclave Butler 9 Gold
- 12 money to buy gentry and duplicates
- Shipyard duplicate 4k gold
- Draw at the landing, buy genshu and moat.
- Butler Conclave 9 Gold
- Draw in chameleon conclave
- Play the drawn moat
- Butler Reproductions 12 Kin…
- Play duplicate, buy genus state conclave, duplicate conclave.
- They bought two genshu and lost.
- I don’t feel like I’m putting together the combo very well.
- Is it wrong that I bought gold coins without compressing them with a butler early in the game?
Ninth round split 5-2
- First hand, landing place, fool’s gold
- Conclave with 4 gold
- Another 4k gold, another conclave? A devious scheme?
- I’ll be devious.
- Landing, 4 gold
- Conclave?
- Draw in conclave, 5 gold. Boat landing?
- 4 Gold. Conclave? Duplicate? Draw by deviousness, 6 gold, gold coins.
- condominium boat
- Draw in conclave, play the landing with increased action, 7 gold. Gold? No. Court? I’ll play the court.
- 9Kin, Province
- court of congress
- Perform the Chameleon Conclave three times at the Court
- Is it possible to choose whether or not to use the habit each time instead of having to draw all three times?
- Play drawn landing sites.
- 6 Gold 1 Action
- More draws, 7 gold, ugh, was +2 coins right?
- Buy more court already!
- No, let’s forge it.
- Perform the Chameleon Conclave three times at the Court
- Draw at the landing, court and forging draws back
- 6 gold for gold
- Conclave 4 Gold
- It’s 9-26, and I can’t take it easy anymore, so I’m going to draw in a devious way!
- Concon 6 gold…
- Two draws at the Chameleon Conclave, the landing and forging came
- Play the landing place…can’t do it (it’s already on the persistent card).
- Discard 3 mansions and 6 copper coins in forging to get gold coins.
- One more action and there is a conclave and a landing place, draw hoping to get an action in the conclave, didn’t, buy another conclave.
- Conclave Court 4 Gold
- Conclave at the Court
- Once, draw and play the landing place, draw forging and landing place
- Play second conclave, play forging, discard video and fool’s gold to moat.
- Oh, you don’t get it in your hand, miss.
- Third time, draw or coin, I’m torn. I already have 2 actions so I can play the remaining con ships. +2 coins would give me 8 gold and confirm the genus state. But if I draw, there’s a better chance of something happening. w
- Draw! Conkons ship 9 gold.
- Play the landing place, here comes the moat.
- Play digging in the conclave
- Oh, I’ve already pulled this off.
- I’d better get my coins out.
- I’m pulling out, but 13 gold, dreary, 23 points difference, I guess I’m a gentry, I can’t catch up…
- Conclave at the Court
- Hori con con forge court 6 gold, it’s the last turn now, so I’m going to be devious, here comes the gold coin.
- court conclave
- Pulled off at 1:moat
- 2: Forging to duplicate the conclave
- 3: Draw and execute its duplicate
- conclave implementation
- 15 gold 3 purchased 1 duplicate. Hmmm, even if I get 12 points for the dukedom and ducal province, I’m still 20 points behind, so I can’t catch up. Can I just buy 3 dukes and score 13 points with the duke and hope that my opponent can’t buy a province on the next turn?
- court conclave
- It didn’t work.
- I’ve got a feeling that if it’s put together right, we could go for it.
- I guess compression is important…
Once again, Round 10
- 4-3, Butler, Conclave
- 3Kin, watch
- Conclave, draw, butler play, buy silver coins
- 4 money, deviousness
- The lookout, the butler, and the conclave. First, draw on the conclave, execute the lookout, discard a copper coin. Next, the butler discards two coppers and buys a moat.
- Conclave 3 gold, draw a lookout at the conclave, discard copper coins. 4 gold…buy a duplicate.
- Conclave the Watchful Butler. Conclave draws, duplicate comes in and is played. With one action left, he played 2 coins on the butler, bought a landing place, and duplicated it.
- A moat, a lookout, and a butler. Not enough action, and it’s dreary, so three draws for deviousness. The conclave came!
- If you call the dig at the conclave, you’ll leave the action, +4 cards.
- Two landing sites and a duplicate came (I wanted a conclave).
- Oh, the pile is already empty, it’s drawn out, then I guess I have 4 gold now, but that’s all I have, I should buy gold coins with +2 coins at the butler.
- Butler, duplicate, landing, 1 money. Not enough action, not enough money. Chameleon the landing place and pay for the money and buy the silver coins. This brings the total to 9 gold.
- Moat, lookout, landing, 6 gold. No action! Bad draw! Conclave coming!
- Activate digging in conclave, 1 piece remaining.
- No, you only have one conclave.
- Run a duplicate, buy a conclave for 9 gold, duplicate, add 3 more!
- I feel like I’m screwed because my opponent has already bought 4 copies of the genus state. w
- And ship ship 6 gold. Buy gold.
- Hori Butler Con-Con Reproduction
- Con moat, con duplicate, con butler, con lookout (empty shot because it’s drawn out), run chameleon landing with one action left, all used up!
- 14 gold 3 purchased. Public domain x3,duplicate.
- Draw 2 by deviousness. Skip the hand memo because you can probably draw it out.
- Con duplication, con replication, con moat, con watch.
- I just barely made it, but if I buy a victory point this time, it will be impossible.
- 12 Gold. Court, Duchy x3
- Con duplicate, butler. 8 gold, that’s troubling. I can buy a genus state, but I still have a 9 point lead. I’m 3 points behind with the duke x2 in duplicate…should I buy the silver at 3 or not…I would if the watchman didn’t have forced discard. Or if the butler has action +1… Hmmm…maybe the silver coin.
- My opponent bought a duke and withered. I am a duke, 6 points. Duplicate, landing place. I gain 2 dukes, and the tables are turned!
- Court Conclave! Court Conclave
- 1: Con duplicate
- 2: Con moat
- 3: No action cards available
- harbor
- Con butler draw
- I have a lookout, but I’m afraid to use it, I think I have another duplicate, but oh, it came with the draw of the conclave.
- CON duplication
- 12 gold 3 purchased, duplicates x2. got 3 dukes and got 18 points. I have 7 gold left. Court.
- Court Conclave Reproductions. Get 3 reproductions.
- We’re up by 22 points, so it’s like we won, but it’s hard to finish.
- 4 draws of deviousness. No conclave by any chance. 10 gold to buy a genus state.
- Court steward, all in virtual currency, 8 gold to buy a gentry state.
- We won 72-44!
- I like that the conclave and duplicate pair can be used as many times as you want to get “+1 action +2 cards + duplicate”.
- I bought miscellaneous cards early on to feed the conclave, but I could have kept the silver coins and collected them for duplication.
Whew, at any rate, I was able to play against the Hard AI, win with a strategy I devised myself without looking at anything, seal that strategy, and win with another strategy, a draw with a landing stero, and a draw combo.
PS
- I also won at the landing stelo.
- When you only have 1 action, you may not be able to use the draw, so make the landing place +2 coins with the chameleon
