Dominion Cornucopia

Last night we played dominion cornucopia and of the starting layout of kingdom cards, all were fairly useful 3- and 4- cost cards (except mine), including village (+2 actions) and several +1 action cards, and included black market (allows you to buy some kingdom cards not in the initial layout) and young witch (adds an extra kingdom card to the initial layout) and tournament (which allows you to gain one of five ridiculously powerful cards) and Fairground (victory card worth 2 for each 5 unique cards in your deck).

So for the first, and probably last time ever, I had a dominion deck with 20 unique cards. Copper, silver, gold, two curses, one estate, one duchy, three provinces, five fairgrounds. One (or two) each of: village, menagerie, fortune teller, chancellor, black market, horse traders, young witch, tournament, remodel, mine. Bag of Gold from tournament. And Festival from black market.

Which makes all the fairgrounds worth eight each, more than a province, which I never expected to pull off. If I'd had the courage of my convinctions, maybe I should have bought fairgrounds over provinces even when I eight cash to spend. Except that then, without provinces you can't win the tournament, so I would probably have been stuck on 19 unique cards. (I never had the opportunity to buy fairgrounds and a 3-cost in the same turn or I would have done so.)
