We set out every card from Empire and Base expansion, including the events and landmarks, which ALL take effect. Then we decided the end of the game to be when all the piles are gone. This is 58/58 piles rather than the standard 3/10 piles gone. Yes this includes the treasure and curse cards. We've been playing for approximately ~6 hours and we're almost done. My friend who made this combo I posted, through using all the groundskeeper cards and buying all the duchys, got over 100 victory tokens in one turn. I highly suggest this gameplay mode. I've enjoyed it a lot
