and dont go for Toasts if there is no Toaster on the Board. Go for a simple bread strategy instead.
Given the last couple expansions, I don't think we should expect previews until at least late May...I am just hoping to get them at all! May is fine. The way I had read DXV's previous comments, it sounded pretty pessimistic about seeing any previews.
This game I played today, my opponent was two Colonies ahead of me. But man, my strategy was better, I had just taken the rest of the Curses thanks to my opponent's Torturers, I had finished draining the Farming Village pile with Workshop, and I had just used 3 Horns of Plenty to pick up King's Court/City/City. These Level 2 Cities were the only source of +buy, and my opponent had none. Which means I could safely drain the City pile to 2 if I wanted--he had no way to gain more than 1 thing per turn. Which also means I had him totally defeated; I could afford perhaps 2 more turns of building before a huge Horns/Kings/Cities/(and Bishop!) megaturn got me all the rest of those points. And I had planned this, I hadn't panicked when I fell behind in Colonies, or when I had accepted 3 Curses.
That's their reasoning as well, and it doesn't make sense. If you buy the 230 Gokoins, you damn still buy the cheap sets with them.Why are they selling a "super pack" of Intrigue, Seaside, and Prosperity for 230 Gokoins (stupid name) when those sets sell for 70 Gokoins each? Direct quote from the product description:
"Save over 15% by buying the 'Dominion - Super Pack' rather than buying each expansion individually".
What the hell? This seems incredibly disingenuous. This is a game with an analytical player base, and I doubt many people bought the packs rather than doing the math on buying the individual sets first.
Actually it is less expensive to buy the Super Pack, it only costs $20 to buy 230 gokoins for the super pack compared to the $21 it would cost to buy 70 gokoins for $7 three times. I think that when they say that you can "save over 15%" they are referring to the 15% bonus they give you when you buy all your gokoins at once instead of individually.
It is very stupid to give you a 15% bonus (230 coins for the cost of 200) and then charge you back that bonus by increasing the cost of the super pack but math doesn't seem to be their strong suit.

not sure how familiar you are with it, but i would recommend playing puerto rico. it's mostly a tactical game, so you might enjoy that with a chess background. i used to play quite a bit online (via this site) before i found dominion but i am not sure where the best place to play it is these days.
Two main reasons:
2 - Security concerns. I've heard enough problems with Goko's security that I just don't trust them with my $$$ (well, specifically with my card details, but whatever).
-If you want "pro" leaderboard, you cannot see what expansions are included in the game, and you most likely end up in a base only game, which you don't want to play.
The super packs also include "access to all their adventures". So you don't have to purchase the adventure finales when you buy the pack. That seems like a high price to pay for things you can purchase just by playing the game.Cheapest seems to be:
Intrigue, Seaside and Prosperity at 70 each = 210,
I hadn't even noticed that one. I imagine that wasn't their intent. Or maybe it was?
