Trivia
Secret History
Late in the going, I had Events that handed out Estate, Province, Curse, Copper, Silver, and Gold (*checks other Events*... huh he's right); where was Duchy? This finally makes good use of an ability I'd tried in a few forms in previous sets, especially Hinterlands.
Retrospective
Annex is a dud, sure. It was part of a long line of duds and one of them finally made it out; at least it only takes up an Event slot.
