2011 DominionStrategy.com Kingdom Design Challenge Rules
1. Starting today, we will accept Kingdom submissions. You may submit any number of Kingdoms for consideration. Submissions close the day before the Grand Final is scheduled.
2. Kingdom is defined as a set of 10 Dominion cards to be used in a game of the Grand Final. If your setup includes Young Witch, please also include a Bane card. If your setup includes Black Market, the Black Market deck will be randomly generated. Please also specify whether Colonies and Platinum are included. The Kingdom is under no other constraint (i.e., you may have Colonies and Platinums in the game even without any Prosperity cards, and you may have just a single Alchemy card).
3. Kingdoms may include any published Dominion card (including promotional cards). Submissions with fan-made cards will automatically be rejected.
4. Kingdoms should be submitted by <a href="mailto:dominionstrategy@gmail.com">email</a> or <a href="

5. We will select at least seven Kingdoms to be used for the Grand Final (more than seven in case the match requires more than seven games). We will <b>not</b> announce the Kingdoms until the final begins.
6. After the final, voters will be able to vote for their favorite of the seven (or more) Kingdoms. That poll will close one week from the end of the Grand Final; at that point, whoever submitted the winning Kingdom will also receive a copy of <b>Dominion: Hinterlands</b>.
7. You may submit Kingdoms with any intent, and the voters can select whichever Kingdom they like for any reason. That being said, in selecting the final Kingdoms, we will look for Kingdoms that can promote future discussion. The ideal Kingdom will encourage diverse strategies, have no clear dominant approach, and emphasizes skill over luck.
