Hello, Dominion Strategy,
My name is Matteo, and I'm addicted to the game of Dominion. (Whew, it feels good to admit it
. My brother introduced me to the game a couple years ago, and I quickly acquired all the sets available at the time. Kept up with the new sets as they were released (no DA yet, though a local friend has it). Am fascinated by the depth of gameplay variety (both within a Kingdom and across the spectrum of Kingdoms).
Am a mechanical engineer working in the medical products field currently... it often feels like more paperwork than engineering, but so it goes with strict regulatory oversight - appropriately so. Other than boardgaming, my main extracurricular is a local pool league (NAPA), since the gameplay variety is nearly infinitely deep.
Grew up in Boston, Massachusetts; currently living in Ithaca, NY. I understand that DXV developed the game nearby, and used to frequent Cornell game nights... but I never made it over there to play while he was nearby (I am given to understand he has moved away) - a shame!
I've been lurking for awhile, since soon after I discovered isotropic and how I could enhance my play prowess both through more game throughput, and through exposure to more strategems. Rather disappointed that iso will be going away soon-ish, since I am unlikely to pay for goko... but you never know.
Anyway, I'm glad to say 'hi', and glad to glean some pointers and experience from the good members of this forum/community.
Best,
matteo
