In Dominion, two or more players spend money to purchase victory points. This is a card drafting game in which you purchase cards that give you abilities to draft more cards, make more money, and get in the way of your opponent. There are a lot of different cards, and with so many variables, each game feels fresh and unique. Dominion has a lot of great expansions too, adding even more depth! Recommended by Eric G., Powells.com
I love this game. I have been a gamer my entire life and I highly recommend Dominion. It has a good combination of things going for it: It's easy to play. Every time you play, it plays differently (thus preventing any "cheap" strategies). It has fairly straightforward but deep rules. It's fun with two players and more. It's competitive but not head-to-head (no seriously hurt feelings). It doesn't require a huge gaming table. It has several expansions that make the game more complex and more fun. It doesn't take 9.5 hours to complete a round.
I would recommend it to both serious gamers and casual players. Recommended by Hobie, Powell's City of Books
Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis:
You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams! You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and fiefdoms. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner. But, wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents would be delighted. Contains 500 cards, rulebook, and card organizer insert tray.
