Hi everyone!
My name is Jeremy, I usually go by the name of my indie studio but now you know the secret. I guess a quick introduction is in order: I'm pretty new to Dominion. I was introduced to the core 2nd edition at a board game cafe, and dominated the players who introduced me to the game once I grasped the concepts and internalized the card effects. Pretty exciting stuff for a newbie. I can see why this is the classic/go-to of Deckbuilders. I'm working at an LGS now and there has been interest in Dominion Tourneys and that is how I was referred to this forum (I'm sure I would've eventually found out through someone on BGG).
So it goes without saying I'm going to be organizing some Dominion Tournaments (and am reaching out to Rio Grande now for support and to see if they'll have any official OP structure for this or next year) in the LA area.
I was wondering if anyone here has some advice on structuring them or any modifications to make for better game balance in a Tourney setting, which expansions to include, etc.
Also what would be good for prize support in addition to whatever RG sends? I tend to keep OP kits and special promo stuff around but I feel like a Dominion Tourney will mostly be filled with people who own almost everything Dominion related already!
