Let's start a thread talking about Dominion in paper. Do you play it? If so, how?
I prefer to play with two friends at a time. Two player Dominion is great, but a bit chess-like (competitive and not as chill). Four player Dominion has everyone wait too long for their turn and often makes interesting strategies less viable because piles are so limited.
Over time, we have retired many of the cards I own for various reasons. Engines are beloved online because they're considered very skill-testing. They often involve many tactical decisions, especially in the end game. However, in relatively casual paper play, they're best enjoyed infrequently, because they can lead to long, awkward solitaire turns. To me and my friends, strategic considerations are often more fun than tactical ones, anyway. So we actively tried to make engines less dominant and have strategies which would be considered fringe online be more frequently viable. To this end, we play with very few draw cards. We also play with few (other) strong money enablers, because money isn't particularly exciting to play, either. This leaves us with a higher chance to see stuff like rushes, non-engine megaturns, golden decks, slogs, weird Counting House combos, Silver pileouts, Double Tactician goodness, as well as the occasional board that ends in a hilarious stalemate thanks to Embargo and Pirate Ship spam.
We play with ten randomized cards, including Platinum, Colony and landscapes. This means Platinum usually appears without Colony and vice versa. This way, even if you are playing a moneyish strategy, it's an interesting decision whether or not to go for either card. If landscapes appear in a big clump, there are sometimes boards with as few as five actual kingdom cards. This further limits the viability of engines and makes paper play even more different from online play.
Thanks for reading the ravings of this filthy casual. How many people do you play with? Do you use all the cards you own or do you pick and choose? Do you have any house rules?
