Title: Might as well introduce myself..
Post by: Grujah on May 04, 2012, 01:16:10 pm

Hi! ;)
Coming from Serbia, been playing Dominion for quite some time with many big pauses though. Though starting this year I got REALLY hooked.
Studying Software Engineering, my hobbies are mainly Comics and Tabletop Gaming (RPGs and Boardgames). Others come on go occasionally.
I play mainly on Iso, though IRL games happen sometimes (IRL I usually prefer bigger, longer games with more players - my absolute favs are Battlestar and a Game of Thrones). Though I recently heard there is a semi-regular dominion tournament in a nearby town, will have to check that one out :)

Lets see.. Favorite dominion cards, currently:
Monument
Horse Traders
Bishop
Embassy
IGG

BSG and Game of Thrones are both pretty fun!

We used to play BSG a lot, so much that I've gotten tired of it.  Have you played with the expansions?

Interesting list of favorite cards. I love 3 of them (Monument, Horse Traders and Bishop) and despise the other two because I feel like most 5-2 start games are over if they are on the board.

@theory -
According to the spreadsheet, 12 with base only, about 20 with Base + Pegasus and 1 with Base + Pegasus + Exodus.

Pegasus is really great and brings a lot of new stuff and fixes a few things, wouldn't play without it actually. New Caprica we only played once - and it wasn't all that fun. I'm not sold on Exodus, some great features (new 0/6 cards, loyalties, new attacking mechanism especially) but to me Lion's Head Nebula phase just seems too random - we lost 3 Morale (2 due to deaths) out of blue, at once, no way to prevent it, which really sucked.

Lion's Head Nebula?  Isn't that the 3 distance + 2 token advancements but minus 4 fuel?

Yeah, my bad, its Ionian Nebula (Crossroads Phase):

Ah.  For what it's worth we tend to play with only the special loyalties + Cylon Fleet Board, removing the ally tokens / ionian nebula altogether.
