I hand-coded a few AI strategies to test against the human opponent. Descriptions below. You can find the code in player-strategies.js.
Each turn, buy a province if you can afford it. Otherwise, buy gold or silver. If cannot afford either of those, buy nothing.
Same as "Big Money", but buy Duchies near the end.
- always go for province when you have 8
- always go for duchy when you have 5
- always go for smithy when you have 4
- always go for silver when you have 3
- go for gold when you have 6, if there are 4 or more provinces
