Vs. AI... bought out all the Grand Markets! But then noticed there were only 4 Provinces left... in a 6p game!
I still miss coppersmith too. Its unexpected passing is the biggest tragedy in dominion history.Bring it back and give it a +1 Buy to it
old post I know, but I was kind of wondering about this myself, without trying to create a new post - tried to do a search, but couldn't find anythingDominion is a great game but this topic of storage is a genuine concern. I've seen one person do this and IIRC, he had 4 to 7 sets worth of large boxes (not to be confused with the Big Box). 10 cards per pocket, with some of them perhaps able to go beyond that (perhaps up to 15 or 20)? Worked out pretty well.
I'm pretty new and considered trying to see if an old baseball card binder would work? (at least for everything except the treasurers and other large quantity cards)
Looking back to this day, I can say, it's good thing I don't care what you thinkI did a mini-review of the first 5 here....You lost all credibility to me when you rated Governor and Stash as 5/5, but Black Market only 3/5.

FWIW, try to value them by how much you'll actually use them. Sure, the regular sets come with many more cards, but it wouldn't be saying much if you didn't like say, half of them.
As far as the rest of them go, Summons isn't too shabby, nor Dismantle.
Whoever guesses the effect before Essen wins a prize.I'll take Princess!
A thought I had today (not very original I am sure)Code: [Select]Fair - Market Square :: $4 / $3 | Seaway $4
Barracks - Village :: $6 / $3 | Lost Arts $6
[s]Canal - Highway :: $7 / $5[/s]
NA - Lab :: NA / $5 | Pathfinder $8
IRL takes longer, but I like the tactile sensation of playing with real cards.When I talk about Dominion, I enjoy talking about it with people whose faces I can see, and hands I can shake. However, that's rather difficult this day in age, so for everything else, there are places like DominionStrategy.com
To get back to the original question, I think an aspect of the change in Dominion's popularity has to be that it basically birthed a huge genre which is the deck-building game. Regardless of whether you consider other deck-builders to be Dominion's equal, the fact is that while people who like deck-building games used to have one place to go and it was Dominion, now they have 1,000 places to go and only some of them are Dominion.I've been going to board game conventions for the better part of the past decade. I remember my first game Dominion in 2008...
But that probably goes both ways -- all those other deck-building games are entry points that will lead some percentage of people who discover them back to Dominion.
If it's the last Province, bid <40>
If it's the last Province, nobody gets to bid.
No.It's such awesome game series that fans are willing to rebuy them again?
I already own all the dominion cards, why would I buy them again?
Sadly Dominion's rules are superseded by both local laws and laws of nature. Otherwise I would long ago have made "For the rest of this turn, there is no entropy" and then wandered off into the world of dreams.You should pitch to Blizzard an idea for a "World Of Dominion" game. Couldn't hurt :p
That's quite a bit of a stretch don't you think?I feel like using the randomizer deck and then just grabbing actual copies of whatever cards get bought is a pretty good compromise.This really is a good enough solution, folks, and well within the spirit of IRL board gaming.
Otherwise if you're going to have a BM-specific app, why not just go all out and have a Dominion Online LAN party with 5 laptops 'round the table?
LosingAnd even then, losing is still relative. Losing against a excellent players can mean you'll kick ass against a group of winners. Each who were the winners of their groups
Can you suggest any? People keep saying this, but I have yet to find one that does more than pick out the BM cards.For people who think Black Market is one of the best: how do you do the setup IRL? It sounds unusable.
Use an app with virtual Black Market deck support. It can simulate a Black Market deck for you. If someone buys the actual card you then dig it out, that way you only have to fish for the cards you need.
Heh... and to think, there are people who still play 5p and 6p gamesSome people are still playing with more than 2 players.
Heathens.
What we need is for full colour e-ink displays to become cheap enough that we can afford 300-400 card-shaped ones for a game of Dominion.Mission Impossible, eat your heart out
Want a supply pile? Just stack at least as many cards as needed and let it morph the bottom n into the required cards, leaving the surplus with red faces so they're easy to drop back in the general stack.
Want your deck shuffled? Just pile up the cards and hit a button. The faces permute themselves without having to move the actual cards.
Give it another decade or two. (-8

So we have to tie every game?
The proper term is "rejoice in your shared victory."
Can you suggest one? I've tried a few, and some of them have BM options to select which ones you'd like to white/blacklist, but none of them actually implement a "virtual deck", and the rest of it (flipping up 3 cards, bottom decking the rest, etc.)My favorites are probably Governor and Envoy. My least favorite is probably Dismantle, though, frankly, I don't dislike any of them. I do like Black Market, but I only play with it when I play online -- I just haven't come up with an easy way to incorporate it IRL.
Two good options:
1) Use a randomizer app that includes a black market. That way you're only fishing for the card if someone buys it.
2) Make the Black market deck from the blue-backed placeholder cards. Sure, you'll be able to identify tell if a card in someone else's hand came from the Black Market, but that's a minor bit of info leak in exchange for much easier setup.Doesn't help those who leave out randomizers.
