Dominion General Discussion / Your Favorite Expansions
« on: December 16, 2022, 01:39:23 pm »
I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we chat about our favorite expansions. There have probably been threads like this in the long history of this forum, but I went through a quick search and didn't find anything, definitely not anything halfway recent. I'll just give my thoughts and maybe you'd like to join in :)

Dark Ages has a lot of cool unique cards that aren't super oppressive (unless part of a combo), like Poor House, Beggar, Hermit, Market Square, Death Cart, Fortress and especially Rats. I could do without Cultist, Knights and Rebuild, but at least they're not quite as strong as they used to be. All in all, Dark Ages has the highest ratio of cards that make it into my heavily curated box.

Renaissance has a somewhat subtle megaturn theme, which I enjoy a great deal. The cards are mostly on the simple side, which is a very good thing, especially because I tend to play with casual players who don't know all of the cards by heart. On average, Renaissance has the best art in my book, which is fitting, I guess. The majority of projects are also bangers. If there is anything to complain about, I'm not the biggest fan of the artifacts, though I do get the appeal of having something to fight over.

Menagerie has Ways and Exile, which I both love. Alliance and Populate are over the top in a very good way. Snowy Village is probably my favorite village. If I had to criticize something, it'd be that some of the events are a bit boring (Ride, Demand, Bargain and Enclave come to mind).

Which expansion(s) do you like best? Why?

Variants and Fan Cards / Tavern Mat Madness
« on: September 20, 2017, 05:28:01 am »
This is about a weird idea I had when thinking about what I would change/customize about my copy of Dominion if I could do it save and reversibly. It's seems likely that someone else has come up with it, but a brief look around Google and this site has not found anything.

What if the tavern mat was used for all cards that require a mat? This would obviously affect Seaside and Adventures the most and introduce a bunch of interesting interactions. A few examples:

  • Island would put cards on your tavern mat.
  • Native Village would put cards on your tavern mat or pick up from the tavern mat. This would have some synergy with Wine Merchant, antisynergy with Island and a bit of both with the other reserve cards and Miser.
  • Haven, Gear and Save could have you put cards on your tavern mat and later choose cards from your tavern mat to pick up.
  • If you want more, why not Pirate Ship: Instead of using coin tokens, which is kind of confusing, you would put a treasure from the trash on your tavern mat. Would be somewhat interesting with Miser, Harem and Native Village

Do you think this would improve the game? Would it be fun or somehow broken?

Edit: For balance reasons, I don't think including Haven, Gear or Save would be a good idea anymore. Apart from that, these cards do not use mats anyway.
