The winner explains:
Since my opponents both had the observatory I couldn't last the game too long in order to prevent them from drawing a lot of nobles. So at first I tried to take a VP advantage by the two special card I draw. Then, in the last two rounds I concentrated almost solely on getting as many different nobles as I could thanks to the "Lagerhaus", trying at the same time to "steal" player two the most useful card for him. Finally I achieved my result by the optimization of the use of the "Schenke" that let me buy VP at the cost of 2.
