    So popular has the Dominion card game become that expansions are flowing. Some, such as the Dominion Intrigue are stand alone expansions and others needs the original to play.

    Offering additional cards, the expansions improve what is already a fantastic game into an epic set of addictive fun.

    “I started out one night thoroughly expecting to dislike this game and found myself 3 hours later having played several games and wondering where the evening had gone. This game is completely addictive and doesn’t loose its fun factor after the player has played multiple scenarios in one sitting. Simply put, this is the best interactive casual game I’ve played in 32 years.”

    “The game is absolutely addictive, and it is great because there are so many variations for the setup of the game- constantly changing what strategies are feasible. The other qualities of this game that make it great is that you get to build a deck, and the turns go very fast once you have learned the game. Recommended to anyone who likes board or card games.”
