Better Than Two Pair

MEDIUM

Our opponents have 6, 7, and 10 coins. We have -11. Uh oh...

Looking closer, if we get the three Token cards into our keep, we win the round instantly. We could play the Fool Token, then draw the Friar Token, but we only have 2/3 in our keep, and we would be out of actions.

Luckily, we happen to have Hocus Pocus. Playing it takes one action, but it gives us two, netting an extra one. So first, we play Hocus Pocus, which means we now have 3 actions left:
1. Play the Fool Token in our keep
2. Draw the Friar Token
3. Play the Friar Token in our keep
Now we have every token in our keep—an immediate win.
