I am getting ready to take a trip, and want to carry games with me. Dominion is too big, and I don't want to take just one expansion for various reasons. I am thinking about inventing a game variant that uses the Randomizers instead of the traditional kingdom card sets.
I think instead of having 10 piles of kingdom cards, I will sort all of my randomizers from all expansions into piles based on cost. So you have a pile for all 2 or less cards, all 3 cost cards, all 4 cost, 5 cost, 6 cost, and 7 or more cost. Total of 6 piles. Plus, you can use some 2 landmarks or projects or other such thing.
This type of setup would drastically reduce the number of cards I carry, while keeping great game variety. I just need the base cards, and a box of randomizers. Very compact. But I'm sure that the gameplay will need some tweeks, and obviously I will discover certain cards (like "Treasure Map") that simply don't work and need to be set aside, due to the need for more than one of them in a hand.
I know it isn't an ideal way to play, but it may be fun in its own way. Can you all suggest ways to modify the rules to make this travel friendly variant fun? I don't want to change the game too much.....
