Dominion General Discussion / Re: Favorite Expansions in 2018
« on: February 25, 2018, 05:15:18 pm »
I took people's responses here, ranking their favorite dominion expansions, and did some analysis on them. I included 11 people's responses, anyone who gave a ranking of their favorite 12 expansions, and the post seemed sincere (sorry alphabetical guy). From these responses, the average ranking from best to worst was (with 1 being favorite and 12 being least favorite; so the average score is 6.5):
Tier 1 (1-4)
1. 2.68 Adventures (4.25 people rated this as favorite, [1 person ranked 4 as his favorite])
Tier 2 (4-6)
2. 4.50 Empires (2 favorites)
--
--
3. 5.27 Nocturne (1 favorite)
Tier 3 (6-8)
4. 6.00 Dark Ages (1 favorite)
5. 6.14 Prosperity (0.25 favorites)
---
6. 6.45 Cornucopia (1.25 favorite)
7. 6.82 Guilds (.25 favorite))
---
8. 7.14 Base 2e (0 favorites)
9. 7.23 Seaside (0 favorites)
----
10. 7.59 Hinterlands (0 favorites)
11. 7.82 Intrigue 2e (0 favorites)
Tier 4 (10-12)
12 10.36 Alchemy (1 favorite; everyone else rated it 10-12th)
------
Conclusion: People like the newest sets best on average, especially Adeventures and people really don't like alchemy. In terms of variance, Alchemy, Adventures and Hinterlands had the lowest variance in responses. A few people included promos and most put them as 13th as the cards are often too powerful.
