- One of my favorite games at the moment! Defines the deck-building genre!
- Love this game. Terrific speed. Outstanding replay value. MY WIFE ACTUALLY ASKS ME TO PLAY!!! Three Thumbs Up!!
- Pretty friendly to new players but deep enough that you still want to play 200 games later. Add expansions once your group is comfortable with the base game.
- Draw 5, play a card, buy a card, discard, repeat. The game is that simple, but there's tons of subtlety. It created the deck building genre and with its expansions is still arguably one of the best.
- The place to start for all "deck-building" games and still one of our favorites. Detractors deride the simplicity, but sometimes simple is good!
- Amazing game. Simple concept, but allowing for complex strategies. Accessible to newcomers, but high replay value. Would recommend getting an expansion or two to really mix it up.
- There's so much Dominion out there to play, you could devote an entire game collection just to its many expansions. An all-time classic that blends CCG's and board game mechanics in a masterful way.
- Simply a wonderful game. Very strategic and tactical without being a brain burner. Plays quickly and is so much fun that I don't mind the lack of theme. I'll play it almost anytime I'm asked.
- I enjoy this card game. Anyone can start playing, but it takes awhile to catch on to really learn how you can stack cards to continue playing for longer. Its difficult to decide when to go for points.
- So much strategy and replayability lie behind some very simple rules. I've played so many games but I still want to play more. Most of the expansions add a great deal of value.
- Great gateway game. Simple rules to pickup but offers a lot of replay value. Expansions add more player interaction. The base game feels somewhat like multiplayer solitaire.
- My first game I picked up. Definitely easily to get friends and family to give it a try. Excellent replay value and great set of expansions
- This is a great game with multiple strategic routes. It has a nice balance of simplicity and complexity, with options that keep the game interesting.
- Dominion has one of the smoothest and most brilliant applications of theme that I can even think of. It manages to be colorful and descriptive, yet mechanically simple and intuitive at the same time.
- By far one of my favorite games! Relatively easy to learn, but has lots of subtle complexities through the many different possible kingdom card combinations. I love it as a 2 player game also. Great!
- Constantly being schooled and learning new strategies and combinations. Many ways to win. And many ways to lose.
