Chancellor is perfect for big money. Buy Silver, buy Chancelor. Every turn yo get a Chancelor in your hand, play it and you get +2 coin to whatever is in your hand so you can easily buy Mines and Golds. Remember that Mine essentially lets you swap up from Bronze to Silver or Silver to Gold AND it sticks the card in your hand meaning you can spend it straight away. Chancellor also allows you to stick your whole deck in the discard pile meaning you get to shuffle and draw again. If you have a small deck of silver and gold then you can cycle so quickly it's unreal.

The city pile runs out really quickly if people don't pay attention. Dispatcher, Medic and the guy who lets you trade ANY card regardless of where you are stood is absolutely required. That's the tough part though, being on the city to trade that card can take a whole lot of effort. The epidemics are brilliant fun though.
