Dominion

Die Gilden

In the eight expansion for Dominion craftsmen appear out of nowhere and dominate events, men working the land turn into craftsmen. This expansion introduces 13 new Kingdom cards - Advisor, Baker, Butcher, Candlestick Maker, Doctor, Herald, Journeyman, Masterpiece, Merchant Guild, Plaza, Soothsayer, Stonemason and Taxman, supplemented by 25 metal coins, which you can save for later use. Some cards can be put to better use if you pay more for them. The expansion features a total of 150 cards, 25 coins and is compatible with the new Special Edition of the core game and all expansions.

The rules for the new metal coins: You acquire those coins with certain kingdom cards from The Guilds; if a card gives you coins you take them from general stock, never from other players. Those coins can be used to upgrade your available money by one unit for each coin you use. Coins that were used are put back into general stock.

For some cards you are allowed to pay more than their basic price. If you overpay, you can use certain effects stated on the card, depending on the amount you paid over the basic price. This additional payment can be made with any currency that you can use for a regular buy and can only be done when acquiring the card by buying it. There is no interaction between cards that reduce the price for other cards, and the amount of money you overpay to use a certain effect.

This expansion, too, surprises one with new twists in the plot and interesting additions to the rules, and of course there are suggestions for combinations with other editions and - always - the usual, fascinating gameplay.
