To prove our point, here are some Dominion Board Game reviews by people who have purchased and enjoyed it.
From M. Nixon
I have to be honest, when I first heard about the game and had it described to me I didn't understand why my wife and several of our friends were so worked up over the thing. It sounded terribly dry and repetitive, particularly to a person like myself who has played collectable card games like magic the gathering for many years now
Nothing could have been farther from the truth.
Dominion has something for everyone, from the collectable card game nut, to the poker player, to the family looking for an alternative to trivial pursuit on Sunday nights. Since everyone starts out with access to the same selection of cards and the same resources for advancement, everyone has an equal chance of victory (which isn't the case in many games where the players construct their decks in advance of play.) Because there are 10 different categories of action cards (each category having at least 10 cards in its pile) to choose from there is plenty of room for strategy (particularly as the game progresses and certain resources are bought up to the point of extinction.)
The game is set up in such a way so that you can play cut throat games with lots of player-vs-player actions or less interactive games where the victory is determined who fields the most effective resource acquisition strategy. Those familiar with CCG drafting from sealed packs will feel right at home in this environment, while those with no card based gaming experience won't be at a disadvantage compared to those who have played card games extensively.
My only criticism of dominion (as has been said on several other forums) is that while the game is entirely self contained and doesn't require purchase of booster boxes and the like, I can easily see the cards (which are essential in exactly the numbers provided) wearing out or being lost. Because there are so many of them I recommend using card sleeves (available at most hobby stores from companies like rook and ultra pro.)
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.
From S. Federer
In the days of technology and scheduled events we struggle to find times to connect with our children. Dominion has
helped us renew that connection. My wife and I plus both our sons (age 17 & 11) LOVE playing this game together.
Whether you go in with a fine tuned strategy or just "make it up as you go along" the opportunity to enjoy the game and
win is presented. We love that the entire game play lasts about 30-40 minutes, we don't always have an entire day to
devote to a game, but we have a half hour after dinner to enjoy the company of our kids. they will be moving out soon
enough and beginning their own families. Dominion is a game that everyone wants to set aside what they are doing and
play together. When was the last time your kids begged to play a game with Mom and Dad?
From J. Redd
We started into the Euro-styled games a number of years ago with Catan,
progressing through Puerto Rico and Ticket to Ride, but Dominion has to be the favorite. My wife was never excited to
play CCGs with me; I have two sons who would play LOTR ccg and SWccg once in a while, but this game is a real hit. My
wife even likes it! It is now our game of choice, and my reluctant gamers (children) are willing (and excited)to play
most of the time. We have played this with friends and our married kids and most end up buying it for themselves. I did
put sleeves on the cards and it has turned out to be a good investment. I now have the base game and three expansions
Some Quick Dominion Board Game Reviews
A great game with tons of replay-ability. I bought this game because of its Spiel des Jahres award. Anything with that award has been a great game, in my experience. I play this is a 2 player game most often, but I do play with 3 or 4 players sometimes. Even with 2 players it is still a lot of fun. The game takes a bit longer than the 30 minutes listed on the box, but as the players get better the games go faster. Turns are very short so before you know it is is your turn again, making the game very engaging. - A. Koop
This game is fantastic and a must have if you are into strategy gaming. The reason it is a must have is because it only takes 30 minutes to play, and if you are a strategy gamer, you know you don't ALWAYS have time to play the game you really want to play. This game has all the intrigue and strategy that might come with a much longer game, but again can be played in only 30 minutes (sometimes only 20 minutes). This is a game that won't get boring, either, since you only use 10 stacks of cards and the game comes with 27. You can choose any 10 stacks out of the 27 and you can also buy the expansions for even more choices if you like. - Tom H.
