Dominion Basisspiel

2. Edition

You are a monarch and want to expand your realm by assembling your deck of cards from action, treasure, victory point, curse, reaction and attack cards; it represents your resources, your victory points and possible actions. All players start with an identical deck of 10 cards, 7x “Copper” and 3x “Estate”. For 26 so-called Kingdom cards there is a set of ten cards each for 25 of the cards and a set of twelve cards for the Point card Garden. For a game you select ten sets out of the 26, and also set out three stacks of Treasure cards - Copper, Silver and Gold - as well as Point cards - Estate, Duchy, Province - and a set of Curse cards depending on the number of player plus one Trash card.

You draw five cards from your deck and, in your turn, do an action, buy a card, discard used and remaining cards in hand and draw five new cards from your deck. Actions you play can trigger additional actions and buys. When three sets of Kingdom cards or the Point cards “Province” are depleted, you win with most victory points in your deck, including cards in hand and discard pile.

The 2^nd edition has a new design, including graphics for the Treasure cards, the Kingdom cards have been revised, and there are seven new cards in the game - Artisan, Bandit, Harbinger, Merchant, Poacher, Sentry and Vassal. Trash now has a mat instead of a card.

As usual, the rules include suggestions for kingdom card combinations, not only for the cards of this edition, but also for combination with the respective expansions.

Dominion still is THE deck-building game and offers many expansions; if you only want the new cards, you can buy them in an Upgrade Pack.
