This game is loads of fun if

This game is loads of fun if you get to possession early and often, but I found it was even fun to lose because it simulated playing both sides at once.

Due to the number of choices, and especially the completely inappropriate plays, it is quite difficult to play this set well much less perfectly, as often an errant click could yield unimaginable amounts of damage.

An example would be playing Possession within Possession, ceding control to the other player at the next turn, or the more subtle mistake, a Golem play which can also activate a buried Possession.

The killer card with Possession was Masquerade, which let you remodel at will (pass a Province, trash a Possession) especially when paired with many actions from Shanty and many cards from Rabble allowing many such plays within a single Possession.

Please feel free to suggest deck changes (like replacing bureaucrat and chancellor with more useful cards)...
