Product Description
The timeless classic deck - building game that sparked an entire genre is back in a sleek, updated second edition! Six cards from the original base game have been swapped out, and one new card has been added. There are also minor functional and phrasing tweaks to other cards and the rulebook, enhancing the overall player experience. You're a monarch, following in your parents' footsteps, ruling a small, idyllic kingdom of rivers and evergreens. But you have grander aspirations than your parents. You dream of a larger, more beautiful kingdom with more rivers and a greater variety of trees - you want a Dominion! All around your kingdom lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums, small plots of land under the control of petty lords on the verge of anarchy. You'll bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your rule. However, you're not the only one with this idea. Several other monarchs have had the same thought, so you'll have to race to claim as much unclaimed land as possible while fending them off. To achieve this, you'll hire minions, build buildings, renovate your castle, and fill your treasury. Your grandparents would be proud! The second edition includes: six new cards replacing the original ones, one extra new card (replacing blanks), better - phrased cards (functionally the same), three slightly changed cards (adding 'you may' to Moneylender, Mine, Throne Room), base cards with improved art, a trash playmat instead of the trash card, an improved rulebook, a new cover art with 'Second Edition' added, and a changed expansion symbol. Specifications: Theme - Tabletop Board Games, Ages 14+, Players 2 - 4, Play Time 40 - 160 Minutes.
How to play: First, set up the game by laying out all the cards according to the rulebook. Decide who will be the first player. Each turn, players draw cards, play action cards to gain resources or perform special actions, buy new cards, and end their turn. To win, you need to claim as much unclaimed land as possible by out - competing other monarchs. Note: Keep the cards away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent damage. When shuffling, do it gently to avoid bending the cards. Maintenance: If the cards get dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them. Store the game in a cool, dry place. When not in use, keep all the cards and components in the box to avoid losing them.
