Just had a game where I got King's Court and Witch from the Black Market. I gave him all 10 Curses within 4 turns. He was making some bad choices, but man, I still felt bad for him. I also got Ghost Ship from the BM, as if that wasn't bad enough. At least the game was over fast.


I got a lot of treasures from bm, and then my uncle got thief from bm. It was horrible.

That video is obviously a joke. Like, extremely obvious. I'm concerned by the number of people who don't realize.


I'm not so sure. Sasha sounded really serious.

Okay guys I decided to start this tournament that is going to happen every year. We are going to have 12 different divisions, one for each expansion except for promo since there are only eight and we need at least ten. You will play your game with that expansion only. There will be eight people per expansion and when you lose a match you are out. Matches are best out of 3. Then the winner for each expansion will go to the finals where they will play with their expansion and their opponents expansion at the same time. How you sign up is you tell me your shuffle it name and your favorite expansion. If there are 9 people signing up for the same expansion it is first come first serve. If you are the ninth one I will message you personally and ask you what your second favorite expansion is. Thanks and have fun.

Have you seen dominion tips and tricks ep 1, best and worst card. If you haven't watch it now and you will laugh so hard because they are really stupid. i thought it was really weird when he said that Matt was doing bad when he was really doing really good and Sasha had 9 villages and only 3 coins. I had never seen a village idiot play dominion until I saw that video. Personally I would like to play against him and beat the crap out of that village idiot.

Tunnel/tactician was awesome. Get a hand of tactician and four tunnels then you get four golds and a double turn without discarding any of your awesome treasures and nights.

I just make the victory piles 12 instead of 8, and the curses 30 instead of 10.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Losing streaks
« on: April 11, 2018, 11:28:23 pm »
It seems like when I play Dominion Online, I'm in one of two modes- either I'm winning 75% of my games, or I'm losing all my games. It's sometimes hard to figure out which mode I'm in, but right now I'm pretty positive that I'm in the latter. Has anything similar happened to you? Do you think people tend to play worse when they're on losing streaks? Just curious.


The exact same thing happens to me. It really is about 75% for me too and then I'm on my losing streak. Right now I'm on the 75%.

I want to start my dominion you tube channel, but I want my videos to be enjoyable. So if you have anything you want to see post it on this thread and hopefully I will be able to do that. Thanks.

If there is one expansion that you are from it is cornucopia because you are a fortune teller. Lord rattington beat me a million times in a row today

I gave him all of the curses he managed to trash one of them with sentry, but then the curses cluttered up his deck that I got all of the provinces, and the final score was 59-0

Borrow, surely:




When I was doing adventures I was thinking about borrow but the guys who are down begging on the ground in alms haunt me

There is a way better way to do it. Once nocturne came out there has always been the problem with black market and tactician not letting you play your night cards. But with tactician/villa/changeling you can play a villa in your action phase with your other action cards except for your tactician. Then play your treasures and buy something then play your night cards and play your changeling last. Then when you play your changeling use it to gain a villa since you would have one in play. Then play that villa and then the tactician.

Harvest is really good for getting coins but the reason I hate it is because you have to discard the cards

Cycling is a boon in itself; topdecking all the cards in any order would make Harvest worse. And keeping the cards would get it into $7-8 territory, you certainly didn't mean that.


Cycling is horrible when you're buying victory cards

Introductions / Chase Adolphson's intro
« on: April 03, 2018, 04:28:58 am »
Hi guys. I never introduced myself so I'm doing it now. Ever since I played my first game of dominion I got really obsessed with it. So far you guys have helped me learn a lot of new strategies and I will probably learn a lot more from you. Thanks! My family and friends don't play dominion that often, so I'm glad to be talking with people that play dominion about 24/7 like I do. Some of my friends even say dominion sucks! CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think games with just the base set are fun because its dominion but its kind of boring at the same time because you miss out on a lot of concepts. I love games with expansions though. Do most people agree with me? I'm just kind of curious. As you have probably noticed I argue a lot and don't give up very easily.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: let's discuss guilds cards: baker
« on: April 02, 2018, 01:21:32 am »
If you're drawing your deck, there's no particular reason to have Baker. Well, except as an expensive Peddler, if that's what you need.

Where I've found Baker really useful is in getting the spikes I need around T5-8. If I want an early Province for Tournament, or I want an Inheritance, a few coin tokens make me a lot more confident.

Trouble is, Baker costs $5, whereas Candlestick Maker is a $2 which is almost as good for that purpose.


Candlestick maker only costs two because it is not a cantrip and cantrips are a lot easier to stack.

Isn't it easier to build a deck that can draw the Develops you already have than to build a deck that can consistently hit $5 to Summon new ones?

Once you get enough Develops in your deck, yeah, but given the Kingdom I didn't want to Develop any coppers (because that would take forever), and I didn't want to Develop any 3s (because there was no playable 2).  I had forgotten that there actually was + action (Farming Village) but no +buys and the only real draw was Storyteller, which without Copper trashing is often more of a sifter than a drawer.  Jack was a gainer that definitely helped mitigate the siftiness of a Coppered Storyteller, but yeah, it was hard to build this one from the ground up with Develop, IMO.

Summon/Develop just built on itself well for a shuffle or two, I think I did it 4 times and then just rolled with the Develops I had.


Also storyteller gives +action

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Playing the new Guilds & Cornucopia!
« on: March 22, 2018, 07:23:19 pm »
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):
