Dominion General Discussion / Re: Dominion: Allies

Well at least, we got some very interesting and deeper informations about the general setting and gameplay tone of that extension. I really look forward to try the feeling of the announced cards.

Up until now no card shaped thing has the same name as its expanion and the card Menagerie is from Cornucopia. I doubt Allies will show up in Allies.

Allies is the 14th expansion to Dominion. It has 400 cards, with 31 new Kingdom card piles. There are Allies that will do Favors for you, and split piles you can rotate.

Functionality blurb: "This is the 13th expansion to Dominion. It has 400 cards, with 30 new Kingdom cards. There are Horses that save a draw for later, Exile mats that cards can be sent to and rescued from, and Ways that give Actions another option. Events return."

I'd speculate that Allies might be a type and not the actual name of a card.

That seems very likely to me. On the other hand favors could also be the new type, specific to this expansion.

Beyond the slightly troll-like appearance of such reasoning (mathematically argued though), I have the feeling that next to a sort of climax of complexity in the expansions (the adventure, nocturne & empires sequence basically) Donald has since returned to an imperative of simplicity in game design (renaissance & ménagerie, we'll see about allies).

I guess that beyond the mathematical aspect that you are arguing the complexity aspects plays a role towards shitty kingdoms...

Very exciting to discover a new extension to Dominion as a newcomer to the game (discovered it nine months ago) !
Can't wait to see previews of the cards we will be getting in this one !

Welcome to the club!  If you are thinking about buying expansions, don't feel like you need to buy the earlier ones first.  Some of the best expansions have been the latest.  In fact, my brother and I think that the Menagerie is the best expansion of all!

Thank you ! Actually, as weird as it could appear, i'm very much theme driven when it comes to acquiring expansions, after the big box i took dark age because of it's grim medieval tone, and the next one i want is empires in order to be able to have a post apocalyptic roman theme ! Sadly i'm not fond of the menagerie theme, allies on the other hand, with the winks to barbarians and all...

Ken Hill said on BGG that more infos will soon come...

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Themed Kingdoms

« on: August 23, 2021, 11:20:11 pm »

Hello there !

I'm doing a bit of a necromancy here, because i've just threw some ideas of themed kingdoms on virtual paper, and i wanted to read some opinions about them. What do you think of these ?

Diversity kingdom




Another Top deck




Feudal hierarchy




Post-apocalyptic romans :






EDIT: The one which don't appear in "diversity kingdom", for whatever reason, is horn of plenty, while the other two missing from "another top deck" are wishing well and secret passage. For the last one, "post apocalyptic romans" it's chariot race missing.  I guess it has something to do with the space between words which i misspelled from a code point of view. Let me know if you have an idea.
