Dominion General Discussion / Re: Playing the new Guilds & Cornucopia!

Thought I'd point out that Guilds & Cornucopia 2E now seems to be generally available. $39.49 from Amazon, Target, Walmart, probably elsewhere.

Amazon also offers a 5% off coupon that you click to apply, making it $38.04: https://www.amazon.com/Dominion-Cornucopia-Guilds-Card-Game/dp/B00XRDONWS

If you want to order other games too, Target offers $10 off $50 or $25 off $100 on their "toys" category, which includes games. Discount automatically applies in cart: https://www.target.com/p/rio-grande-games-dominion-cornucopia-and-guilds-card-game-expansions-board-game/-/A-51604536

A few comments and photos...

I like the coffers mat. But I like mats in general. Maybe that's because we play on a rug with a lot of texture, and it would be easy to lose coin or victory tokens otherwise. I'd use a debt mat if there was one. If I was playing at a table, I might not use mats at all. But I have kids. They like playing on the floor.

The coin tokens are shiny, so camouflage hasn't been a problem for us:


As for the word "coffers," maybe it's awkward but my five-year-old (who can barely read but has every card from every expansion memorized based on the artwork) loves it. He instituted the house rule "when you get a coffers, cough". Play butcher; cough twice.

Here's the bane card, which I didn't realize was new since I've never seen the original Guilds & Cornucopia (except on Shuffle iT):

After months of anticipation, we just received our brand-new Guilds and Cornucopia box! We're having a great time playing with cards that we've only played on Shuffle iT until today! Love the coin tokens -- they make for some big turns.

One interesting change is the "Coffers" term:



Going back to playing our awesome new cards!
