Everything currently published, including the promos. It's a good thing I own it all in card form, because I love how Dark Ages changes things up in other sets but there's no way I'm paying for Goko as is.

(only Cornucopia is, and the translation is so bad that two cards needed an errata because a mistake changed their gameplay)

Intrigued. What did they do?

One I know of is they parsed Tournament badly, so it says that, to gain a prize, you must reveal a province AND nobody else does.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I personally own Dominion, Seaside, and Prosperity.

I enjoy Seaside the most out of them all, and advise any one with just the base game to pick this up as their first expansion for these reasons:

1. Balanced cards. There aren't many cards in this set that are way to swingy. Sure Ambassador and Sea Hag are, but they aren't as bad as Tournament or King's Court.

2. Interesting Cards. There are some really cool cards, functionally, in this set. Ambassador is a nice twist on trashing. Lookout, though weak, is still one of my favorite cards to play with. Not to mention all the Durations! They are really fun to play with (as long as you remember to leave them out!).

The Base Dominion is of course good. But the cards there are pretty bland, but that is expected for the first set.

Prosperity, in my mind, has way to overpowered of cards, and can have most games with it comprised of you just sitting there while your opponent goes, "City, City, City, King's Court, City, Goons, Goons, Goons, buy 2 Goons and 50 thousand Coppers, revealing a Watchtower to trash them,". I know some people really enjoy these sort of games, but I don't.

Overall, I'm pretty content with what I have. I'll probably buy Dark Ages just because it's a blast (been cycling through cards by using blanks :P). We have a pretty big gaming group, and Dominion with 7 players doesn't have much strategy. Will most likely buy a couple sets on Goko (once they get everything figured out) and play 1 on 1 with my friends there.

Seaside is my favorite expansion too!  However, for most people that have large groups that they play with, I would suggest getting Intrigue second.  It allows for one 6P game, or two 3P or 4P games.  Prosperity does have a lot of extremely powerful cards that are a little advanced for people starting out.  Definitely get seaside 2nd or 3rd.

I agree. Intrigue was the second set I actually played with (a friend had it) and it worked really well for our big group (even though we all quit at the end because we kept using Saboteour on each other).

So we ended up getting Seaside for some variety if we wanted to play with them. They happened to get Seaside too (kinda ruined the point of us getting it :P)
but Seaside is still my preference when paying with a few number of people.

Yes, the more I play with goons, the less I like them. KC and City are powerful but interesting. Goons is just an overpowered and boring card. Not to mention Mountebank.

I basically just play IRL.  So I own all of them, including promos, except for Alchemy and the Base cards.  Shuffliing doesn't bother me at all.  I know that online is quicker, but I do like the feel of the cards in my hand.  It also allows us to play the game at each one's personal pace without feeling rushed like I do if I play online.

Setup is not hard at all.  I have all of my cards held in two decorative boxes that we have sitting out at the table we play on.  That way it is easy access to the game whenever we want to play.  I use the randomizers to choose the kingdom each time.  In fact, I like to shuffle the whole pile together and then go through them 10 at a time (unless of course there is a bane).  That way we go through all of the cards in the deck over a period of time and then reshuffle and start over.

So it seems like most people who voted have most of the expansions. I only have the Base set IRL :-[

I don't have any :( Nobody I could play with IRL, realistically.

I can't submit a vote with no boxes checked, though.

As Tables already said, Tournament worked not as it should. Also Menagerie's wording was so unclear that without looking at the English version it was very hard to decide what the card is doing - more or less "if all cards in your hand have other titles, +3 cards", without specifying other than what.

The errata was issued half a year after the set was released.

Yeah, I figured adding the promos would be silly, because, that's five options for single cards, and they're only Promotional cards anyway.

Edit: Bit pointless now, probably, but added a none option for those with nothing who want to add their numbers. Yes because of the way the survey is set up, you can vote none along with other things, oh well.

Plus I bought Dark Agesa few weeks ago, since it can't be played on Iso.
