I see your concern there, and I’m in the same boat as far as not wanting to make games not fun. For me, the app is more of a way to keep track of what I’ve played, keeping high scores, and knowing what day of the week I sacrifice most of my time to board games on.

Thanks for that info about Dominion though. I’ll only abuse it a couple times. ;)

Chapel strats are fun, just never be shy to trash everything. You basically want to be down to Chapel+Silver+Copper at some point. From there, you just get another silver and buy your way out of poverty. With sentry or similar you can also try to trash the chapel once you do not need it anymore.

My gf refuses to "scoop" to my level and will rather try to stop the chapel strat instead of using it, too. After a couple of brutal games it got banned. But I am OK with that. I also enjoy other combinations and Chapels are maybe even a bit too easy.

Maybe its not a bad idea for highscores and the like, we sometimes wonder if this or that score was the highest ever. Will check it out, thanks for the tip!

Hmm... that's an interesting strategy. We consider chapel to be one of the most useless card (unless there are Witches in the play), second only to Adventurer.

But then again, we are all very casual players. Would try this strategy next time we play.
