Kingdom that makes use of all game mechanics

I finally own every currently released Dominion Card!



Something I was thinking about last night: Is there a Kingdom that makes use of every mechanic in the game?

Trade Route Mat, Coffers, Victory Tokens, Boons, Hexes, Event, Landmark, Night Card, Tavern Mat, Journey Token ....

It's probably impossible without Black Market (particularly if you consider Island, Pirate Ship, Native Village, Trade Route etc as each having their own unique mechanic).

It really depends on what you consider a separate "mechanic". I agree, though, that you'd probably need Black Market (itself a unique mechanic).

Well, what mechanics don't work from the black market?
  • Travellers can't be exchanged, same with Vampire/Bat.
  • Gathering cards don't have supply piles to use.
  • Cards like Experiment can't return themselves to the supply.
  • Split, Mixed, or Rats piles don't really utilise their special mechanics.
  • Magpie and Rats can't gain themselves.
  • Edit: Peddler, can't reduce its own cost, unless you're also using Capitalism.
Still, you can probably put these in as the rest of the kingdom cards, but perhaps there are more that don't work?

While Experiment, Magpie, Rats and Peddler have unique variants of their mechanics, I wouldn't say any of them have unique mechanics.

Well, it just goes back to the question of what constitutes a unique mechanic. Magpie and Rats, it's pretty easy to say that they're just twists on the old "gain X" mechanic. But the "Return to the Supply" bit of Experiment and Encampment, that seems like something new to me.

Ambassador returns to the supply. Madman and Wish return to non-supply piles.

I'd argue that Port and Changeling have game mechanics not represented there, which you can't achieve via the Black Market.

How about, instead of mechanics, we consider only all unique tokens and mats?

I know we had a thread about what Kingdom would require the most table space for the setup a while ago. Basically we'd be looking at most total card piles plus mats.

Of course, by having just Black Market, you can also require every single mat and non-supply card ever created for Dominion. So I think to make it an interesting question, you have to ban Black Market.


I'm sure you'd want both Page and Peasant, as those each count for 5 piles instead of the normal 1.

Young Witch
Page (4 extra piles)
Peasant (4 extra piles
Marauder (Ruins, Spoils)
Border Guard (Lantern, Horn)
Vampire (Hexes, Bats)
Druid (3 separate boon cards)
Pirate Ship
Native Village
Island
Any Reserve card

Every Landmark
Every Project
Every Event

I don't think it's possible to also use the Coffer/Villagers mat and/or the VP token mat. If you just want to use all mats you can; but it would take less table space than using the Travellers.

Some Projects require the Coffers/Villagers mat, and some Events and most Landmarks require the VP token mat. You already are putting out those two mats.

Oops, right! So yeah, I think that Kingdom would use every single mat, and also require a huge amount of space for a bunch of other cards and piles.

Oh, I guess there's the Trade Route mat too.

As an alternate exercise, what is the expected number of games (full random setup) you would play in order to encounter every mechanic?

I don't know, but I'm sure it's a lot. I've played a lot of random games (mostly IRL, and probably not as many as others who play mostly online), and I think the only times I have played with Necromancer, which is the only card with the playing directly from trash mechanic, have been times where I deliberately included it.
Maybe the criteria that I put in for the online randomizer I use (e.g. always include a village, don't include more than 2 attack cards, always include a trasher, min and max amount of cards for each cost, etc.) combine in some way to make Necromancer less likely, but I think it's just a case of Dominion having a lot of cards and me not having played enough games.

Indeed, I suspect we have different definitions of "a lot of random games."  ;)

It depends. Are we considering only full-time repairmen, or part-time ones? What about people who fix things at home with their own tools? Also, for the purposes of this question, are we limiting ourselves to mechanics who are already Dominion players, or one have to visit every single repair shop in the world?

It really depends on the kingdom/republic/empire/Arab Jamahiriyeh.


(Edited to reflect the fact that Libya is no longer a Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya but is now just a state).
