− | * In strategic discussions, the effectiveness of a strategy is often determined by the average number of turns it takes for it to gain four {{Card|Province|Provinces}}. A pure [[Big Money]] strategy typically does this in 16 turns; adding one or two copies of certain Action cards, such as {{Card|Smithy}} or {{Card|Jack of all Trades}}, can drop this to anywhere from 14 to 11 turns.
