Product Description

Dominion: 2nd Edition is an improvement over the classic Dominion. Upgraded covers and cards make it more interesting and fun to play. This new version has streamlined rules and amended card text to eliminate confusion. You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a 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, freeholds, and feodum. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner. But wait. It must be something in the air, several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents, would be delighted.

2nd Edition features updated cards, artwork and streamlined rules

You want a Dominion!

You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes... dreams! You want a bigger kingdom, more pleasant, with more rivers, and a wider variety of trees.

This is a game of building a deck of cards

The deck contains your resources, victory points, and the things you can do. It starts out a small sad collection of Estates and Coppers, but you hope that by the end of the game it will be brimming with Gold, Provinces, and the inhabitants and structures of your kingdom.

A Quick Glance

  • Tactical game for 2-4 Players
  • 30 minute playing time
  • Ages 13 and up

Six cards were replaced and one added compared to the first edition. The base cards have art now, and the trash has a mat.

    Super fun game once you get the hang of it!
    This game is our current family game-night favorite. Our family of five (ages 12, 15, 18, 52, 52) love playing this game together. It is a game that is easy to learn, but takes time to develop your strategy. My favorite part about the game is that you can play multiple variations by changing up the deck that you use. I recommend starting with the set-up that the instructions recommend for beginners the first time you play. It is a fast-paced game, so you can finish in one hour. There is some luck involved and there are "attack" cards but it is not a game where people can gang up on others (this can be a problem in a house with three competitive brothers). My oldest son loves this game so much, he bought his own copy to take to college.
