This has been something I've been wondering for a while... most people here play Dominion regularly online, although I suspect the majority were introduced to the game face to face. But how much of the actual physical games do people here own? And perhaps, why?

I own Base, Seaside, Hinterlands and Prosperity. Started with Base a while ago (about two years), then got Seaside not long after because expansions add a lot, and Seaside was my favourite expansion. Then I was considering getting Prosperity, but decided on Hinterlands (which had just come out) instead because it was cheaper (except, it wasn't, because Prosperity's price had dropped by that point). Finally, I just got Prosperity today from BGG Secret Santa. Yay! And that's also the thing that inspired me to make the thread. I also don't think I'm going to get any more expansions. 102 cards is sufficient, and fits nicely in my card box.

(I wanted to add a poll, but maybe I'm being stupid but I can't see the option to do that...)

[Insomniac]

Every set...including base cards which I have zero need for as it brought my copies of those cards up to 3 (P/C/Potion to 2)

Edit: Forgot to say and all the promos. (will buy guilds when available and probably any promos that come out)

[GendoIkari]

I own all except Dark Ages, Walled Village, and Governor. And I want to get all those.

[Lekkit]

Techically I own Cornucopia and onwards and two copies of Hinterlands. I do however house our board game club's copy since me and my girlfriend are the ones who play it.

[werothegreat]

All except Promos.

[AJD]

I own base Dominion, Alchemy, Hinterlands, and Dark Ages.

My ex-girlfriend owns Seaside, Prosperity, and Cornucopia, but they're still at my house because she doesn't have the base cards.

[LastFootnote]

Everything including the promos and two copies of the Base Cards set.

[shraeye]

Yup, i love playing Dominion in real life.  I don't have Cornicopia yet somehow but will get it soon, that's the only set I'm missing.

I'm really not a fan of playing with the Promo cards.  I feel like they aren't as fun to play with as many other cards.  I can see the uses of Stash, and the strength of Governor, I just don't like to play with them.  Am I the only one that feels this way?

[jsh357]

Everything, including Promos and Base Cards.

[ftl]

Currently missing Cornucopia and Hinterlands.

[michaeljb]

All the cards--including promos and Base Cards. And today I finally played my third and fourth games with Dark Ages!

[Morgrim7]

All except Promos.

same

[ConMan]

As of this week, all sets up to Dark Ages (yay for sleeving and making dividers this weekend!), and all promos excluding Governor. I doubt we'll ever get Base Cards, but you never know.

[Tombolo]

I own none of them!  Haven't really had a need to, as my few real-life friends who play all own copies.  I'd still like to get my own, though, if for no other reasons than supporting Donald X and playing with myself if Goko goes up and sucks.  It's one of the things on my Christmas list this year, and that's probably the only way I gain it any time soon, because I am super broke.

[loppo]

Everything, incl. all Promos + 2 extra sets of base cards, so i can held mini tournaments up to 4 tables (haven't done it yet though)

[Octo]

Almost all, in this order:, Base > Intrigue > Prosperity > Seaside > Cornucopia > Hinterlands > Dark Ages.

So no Alchemy, don't enjoy those cards online so not fussed about it. (No promos either yet)

[MrZNF]

Base, Prosperity and Seaside. My friends all have sets as well and I'm fairly certain that if we put all our sets together, we'd have all sets twice

[kn1tt3r]

Everything except this Base Cards thing, which hasn't been released in Germany yet.

[Jimmmmm]

I have Base, Seaside and Dark Ages, and have ordered Alchemy. My ex-housemate has Intrigue, Prosperity, Cornucopia and Hinterlands. I'm tossing up whether or not I can justify getting the ones he already has given I don't get a chance to play with him much any more.

[pingpongsam]

Everything except Guilds.

[aaron0013]

(I wanted to add a poll, but maybe I'm being stupid but I can't see the option to do that...)

You have to push "new poll" instead of "new topic".

I started with Base, then went Intrigue, Seaside, Prosperity, Hinterlands, and hopefully getting DA next. 

Definitely worth the money!

Derp. Well fortunately, adding a poll was easy enough. Might be interesting to see the results

[Beyond Awesome]

I own Dominion, Alchemy, Prosperity, Base Cards, and all the promos. I'm at least getting Dark Ages for Christmas and hope to own the rest of the expansions soon.

[Captain_Frisk]

I own it all, and I'll buy Guilds too.  Hinterlands, Dark Ages, and Base Cards sit unplayed.

[hsiale]

I have Base Game and Intrigue. Unfortunately most of the other expansions are not translated into Polish (only Cornucopia is, and the translation is so bad that two cards needed an errata because a mistake changed their gameplay), and people I could play with using real cards don't feel comfortable enough with English games, so I don't think I'd be buying more, maybe if I find a good way to do this I will translate the other sets and make cards.

[philosophyguy]

Everything currently published, including the promos. It's a good thing I own it all in card form, because I love how Dark Ages changes things up in other sets but there's no way I'm paying for Goko as is.

[Jimmmmm]

(only Cornucopia is, and the translation is so bad that two cards needed an errata because a mistake changed their gameplay)

Intrigued. What did they do?

One I know of is they parsed Tournament badly, so it says that, to gain a prize, you must reveal a province AND nobody else does.

[Archetype]

I personally own Dominion, Seaside, and Prosperity.

I enjoy Seaside the most out of them all, and advise any one with just the base game to pick this up as their first expansion for these reasons:

1. Balanced cards. There aren't many cards in this set that are way to swingy. Sure Ambassador and Sea Hag are, but they aren't as bad as Tournament or King's Court.

2. Interesting Cards. There are some really cool cards, functionally, in this set. Ambassador is a nice twist on trashing. Lookout, though weak, is still one of my favorite cards to play with. Not to mention all the Durations! They are really fun to play with (as long as you remember to leave them out!).

The Base Dominion is of course good. But the cards there are pretty bland, but that is expected for the first set.

Prosperity, in my mind, has way to overpowered of cards, and can have most games with it comprised of you just sitting there while your opponent goes, "City, City, City, King's Court, City, Goons, Goons, Goons, buy 2 Goons and 50 thousand Coppers, revealing a Watchtower to trash them,". I know some people really enjoy these sort of games, but I don't.

Overall, I'm pretty content with what I have. I'll probably buy Dark Ages just because it's a blast (been cycling through cards by using blanks ). We have a pretty big gaming group, and Dominion with 7 players doesn't have much strategy. Will most likely buy a couple sets on Goko (once they get everything figured out) and play 1 on 1 with my friends there.

[RiemannZetaJones]

Everything including all promos, except the Base Card set.

[Forge!!!]

Finally got the last card I needed, Walled Village, about a week ago =)

[Razzishi]

Everything except promos and the Base Cards.

Seaside is my favorite expansion too!  However, for most people that have large groups that they play with, I would suggest getting Intrigue second.  It allows for one 6P game, or two 3P or 4P games.  Prosperity does have a lot of extremely powerful cards that are a little advanced for people starting out.  Definitely get seaside 2nd or 3rd.

I agree. Intrigue was the second set I actually played with (a friend had it) and it worked really well for our big group (even though we all quit at the end because we kept using Saboteour on each other).

So we ended up getting Seaside for some variety if we wanted to play with them. They happened to get Seaside too (kinda ruined the point of us getting it )
but Seaside is still my preference when paying with a few number of people.

Yes, the more I play with goons, the less I like them. KC and City are powerful but interesting. Goons is just an overpowered and boring card. Not to mention Mountebank.

[Willvon]

I basically just play IRL.  So I own all of them, including promos, except for Alchemy and the Base cards.  Shuffliing doesn't bother me at all.  I know that online is quicker, but I do like the feel of the cards in my hand.  It also allows us to play the game at each one's personal pace without feeling rushed like I do if I play online.

Setup is not hard at all.  I have all of my cards held in two decorative boxes that we have sitting out at the table we play on.  That way it is easy access to the game whenever we want to play.  I use the randomizers to choose the kingdom each time.  In fact, I like to shuffle the whole pile together and then go through them 10 at a time (unless of course there is a bane).  That way we go through all of the cards in the deck over a period of time and then reshuffle and start over.

[thirtyseven]

So it seems like most people who voted have most of the expansions. I only have the Base set IRL

[zahlman]

I don't have any Nobody I could play with IRL, realistically.

I can't submit a vote with no boxes checked, though.

[hsiale]

(only Cornucopia is, and the translation is so bad that two cards needed an errata because a mistake changed their gameplay)

Intrigued. What did they do?

As Tables already said, Tournament worked not as it should. Also Menagerie's wording was so unclear that without looking at the English version it was very hard to decide what the card is doing - more or less "if all cards in your hand have other titles, +3 cards", without specifying other than what.

The errata was issued half a year after the set was released.

[TWoos]

There's no option for the promo cards.

[Tables]

Yeah, I figured adding the promos would be silly, because, that's five options for single cards, and they're only Promotional cards anyway.

Edit: Bit pointless now, probably, but added a none option for those with nothing who want to add their numbers. Yes because of the way the survey is set up, you can vote none along with other things, oh well.

[Morgrim7]

I'm actually getting the promos quite soon.

[ddubois]

Amazon Big Box (base + alchemy + prosperity) represent!

Plus I bought Dark Agesa few weeks ago, since it can't be played on Iso.
