1. OutpostA fitting end to the Seaside rankings; the Outpost has some of the best-looking water seen in the Dominion canon. This lone building seems strong and defended by nature itself, marvelously looking over fierce waves that threaten any unsavory invaders. What are they hiding in there? Perhaps the ruler himself. Perhaps his Halloween candy. None will ever know.
Seaside was overall a marked improvement artistically. The addition of metal tokens and mats add some flavor that improve the experience too, and who can dislike that lovely shade of orange? The box art is pretty good too. Men in pointy hats are standing around the bay, the ship looks awesome, and the sky/buildings reflect the flavor of the art within quite well. Dominion had found its aesthetic footing. What could possibly go wrong? (Remember that line for when we get to Guilds)
My average rating for Seaside is
6.73. Seems lower than expected, but it's mostly because there are a lot of middling cards, one outlier in Navigator, and the great art isn't up to the level of what's in, say, Hinterlands.
Current ranking:
Seaside 6.73
Base 6.4
Intrigue 6.02
