Dominion
Dominion was the game that hooked me on deck-building, and even after trying countless others, I keep coming back to it. There’s a pure joy in starting with a simple deck and gradually crafting it into a powerhouse that churns out coins and buys victory points efficiently. The game is so elegant – on your turn you basically just play cards, buy a card, and that’s it – yet the interplay of different card effects makes every match feel like a fresh puzzle. I’ve introduced Dominion to many friends, and it’s gratifying to see them catch on and start excitedly planning their combos after just a few turns. With the expansions, the variety of strategies is endless, so we never feel like it gets old. If Dominion has a weakness, it’s that it can feel a bit solitary. There’s usually not much you can do to affect other players beyond a few attack cards, so each of us tends to get lost in our own little optimization world. Also, the base set alone can become predictable once you’ve mastered its cards – we found we really wanted expansions for more challenge and surprise. To round out my perspective, I used AI assistance to compile other fans’ viewpoints with mine. Dominion still earns a hearty 9.0 out of 10 from me. — This review was generated with AI based on published information and community impressions.
