Description
You are a monarch, like your parents before you, 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 and freeholds, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilisation to these people and unite them under your banner.But several other monarchs have had the very same idea. You must race to grab as much of the unclaimed land as possible and defend it. To do this, you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle and fill your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents on your mother's side would be delighted.In Dominion, each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the middle of the table is a selection of other cards that players can buy if they can afford them. Players build their deck during the game, aiming for the most efficient route to precious victory points at the end of the game.Dominion is not a collectible card game. The game contains 500 cards. You choose 10 of the 26 types of Kingdom cards to include in any game – which leads to enormous variety.
