Donald, you've outdone yourself!

Now that we've seen (almost) all of the cards... I barely know where to begin. So many new mechanics, so many choices of strategies, so many possible interactions. It hurts my head just to think about what King's Courting some of these things would do! It's like we'll have to learn a brand-new game now; our previous Dominion knowledge and experience may prove to be of little help. But I'm sure others, like me, are quite excited about learning to play this new game! Thanks for everything!

I agree with everything you said.

+1 if you think this will be the best Dominion set ever.

I don't wanna be hasty, but it's certainly the most sprawling.  I am worried about how well the cards interact with other sets, but I'm sure it's better than I think.  Looking forward to playing big time.

Can't wait for the Secret History. :)

I'm really curious where all the names for the knights came from.
Did they win a contest or something? :p

How could someone named Anne not buy Dame Anne?!

I wonder how hard it's going to be in the end to memorize which Knight is which. It's like Mint/Mine multiplied by 10! :o

Note the, uh, high degree of overlap between names of Knights and people thanked in the rule books.  :-)

Militia Knight

I'm beginning to feel that maybe I'll need to change my avatar, as much as I love the new Curse art...

Honestly, I'm not sure how The Guilds is going to top this. But I'm sure ol' Donald will find a way to surprise us. Well done, great expansion.

So many of them!  It's going to take a while for them to get ingrained in my head.
