Games I Like: Dominion
Last time I talked about games I like, I mentioned that I like games with a lot of combinations that make every time you play it different.
Dominion is an award-winning strategy deck-building game. The game's instruction manual does not explain itself very well, and it took me a while to understand what it's about and how it works.
Here's how I explain it to new players: Each player has their own deck of cards. Your cards are your kingdom, and whoever has the best kingdom at the end of the game wins. There are three general types of cards: Actions, Money, and Lands. You play Action cards during your turn to get more Money cards into your hand. Then at the end of your turn you use your Money cards to buy more Actions, Money, and Land cards. Land cards are mostly useless during the game, but they are what determines if you win at the end.
At the beginning of the game, there are 10 types of Action cards on the table. But in the basic box, there are 25 types of Action cards. So, if my math is right, there are 3,268,760 different combinations of the Action cards on the table, and that's without any of the expansions that have been added. So, since I like a lot of varying combinations, this is a game I really like. My wife and I play it almost every week.
Thanks for reading!
