Happened to me to about a year ago. Played nothing but Dominion for about 10 weeks. I even bought a huge wooden storage box to store all the expansions I kept buying. Then one day I just stopped playing and haven’t had the urge to play again since. Now I have to live with the bloody shame of having a 20 kilo box of Dominion cards staring me in the face every time I look at my shelf.

I have to buy this now. Fantastic humour. I wonder do you have to go back and take out some of the jokes to tame it down. Never change .

To quote Margin Call: "Sell it. Sell it all. Today." That's what I did. Never looked back. Aeon's End is next. It's like getting off Crack.

my mother god bless her plays exactly two boardgames: Scrabble.. and Dominion. 'nuff said.

I so love your refreshingly honest reviews! I hope i can enjoy them for many years to come because they really make my day. I even laugh out loud and have to rewind! Just fantastic stuff! I own Tanto Cuore which is a bit like Dominion only a little more raunchy. Fewer expensions though!

I like the lighting and background in your videos, it reminds me of a circuit board for some reason. I haven't played Dominion, but now I am intrigued!

The most real review of Dominion ever created 😎

Such a great channel. Makes me want to see a Guy Ritchie movie about board gamer gangs. I enjoyed the review through and through.

stopped playing for a while then went back to it. And love it alll over again.havne't done marathon sessions yet, but I plan on playing this a lot more.

For all of us with more self-control, I hope you'll do a ranking of all the expansion content :)

Dominion is a hell of a drug. Love your content man!

😂😂😂hilarious and informative. New sub. Love it!

Amusing - I must open the box on my shelf (cautiously!).

You have reminded me how much I used to enjoy this game. 😃

Terrific hahaha. I’m convinced, I need to return to Dominion!!

You put your stairs back in, brilliant.

I also got really addicted to Dominion last year after I got the Big Box(Has the base game and Intrigue plus some extra base cards so you can play up to 6 people.) And it was the only game my Monday night group would play for a couple of months. For my birthday(in May) two friends got me Empires and Prosperity which really added some fun new stuff and made us get really addicted to it all over again.. And I picked up Seaside the other month because it was on sale on Amazon for some reason. And with that we have played it a bunch again lately, at least once every game night, but we have been playing some other games a bit more.

I've the same feeling about Set a Watch...can't wait until I get my fix next year when the third expansion arrives.

Thanks for the review! 😝😁 Dominion is awesome!

I have had the same addiction for quite a few years... as for the mixing sometimes leading to a dud, the suggested mixes between expansion are great (and when you have all sets, more then enough)

Somehow missed this review even with all notifications turned on. I got the core box out yesterday (it's all I've got at the moment), mate what a great set of games me and my 15 year old had, haven't played it for at least 10 months. Straight on eBay looking for expansions only to realise that no one sells this on!! I'd second a call for you to rank the expansions or at least a top 3 or 5 max as I'll find myself living on a park bench in Dagenham if I fall down this rabbit hole 🕳️, so 2 or 3 expansions would be enough to mix things up for me. I appreciate your non conformist reviews that don't stink of nepotism or a backhander. Keep it coming.

Looking at those cards, I'm thinking I could forget about it. I already have other deck builders with great abilities and artwork. I would play Dominion, but no one I know plays it, so there we are.

My #1 all-time!! I play sooo much on my tablet when I cannot get a group together.

Best sets are Seaside, Prosperity, Allies, and Plunder. You buy those with the base set, you are good to go!!

Thanks for this and all your videos!! Could you tell me which box is the one with the pirates?? 😮😊

Easiest rules explanation ever: ABC -> Action, Buy, Cleanup :)

Dude you have a great channel here, much different vibe than other board game channels and it's refreshing

I just got the game and played it with my friend. It was fun. He kept buying harbingers and i just bought gold or provinces whenever i could.

Great Outro Music 🤘💥

No mention of the artwork is interesting

Be strong my friend

My addiction is Shadows of Brimstone. it’s gotten so bad that the Hill brothers know me on a name basis 😂 More expensive than crack, but better value for money. 👍🏻

I was the same way for a long time. I have a heavy-as-fuck wooden case filled with the base game and probably 8 expansions. Now, I can't be arsed to pull it out, and just play Dominion on my phone when I need a fix. 🤣

Lively stuff, as always!

Yeah, I don't suggest buying every expansion available because some may vibe better with you than others. In my opinion, there are two necessary expansions (Intrigue and Seaside) and then from there you can decide which other expansion mechanisms would feel good to play with.

That was a good one. 16? I've seen smaller whole board game collections lol

This would've been me if Battlelore kept getting expansions. MOAR STUFF!

Dominion started it all for me… love that game!

we enjoy the base game and this is the only one i have bought, i like the simplicity and many of the expansions just seem to complicate this and take away from the OG. Its not the greatest game but we enjoy a round or two when we do take it off the shelf.

Does an app card manger exist? Input the version(s) you have and it randomises in order to prevent broken combos. Probably still a pain in the arse digging through all the cards though.

Your addiction is Dominion and the cure is Dale of Merchants

I devised a board that would generate almost endless VPs. I set up a game against a bot online; some way into the game I was playing my entire deck through for the gazillionth time, amassing points by the hundred, when a message popped up in the chatbox: "wow, you like your points don't you?" I had accidentally set up a game against a real human. I apologised and resigned from the game, as they had no chance by then.

So if you had to recommend a first expansion, what would you choose?? Love your vids, thanks bud.

When Dominion came out, I played it at Essen Spiel and I didn't like it. On the nefarious little website we all know and (dis)like, Michael Barnes boiled my problems with the game down to one sentence - a feat that I myself could not have come up with: "It's a mechanism in search for a game." A few years forward, and this mechanism has been implemented in many games that I like a lot better than Dominion: Trains, Aeons End, Clank, and the whole Legendary series of games. Nevertheless, Dominion was the first game of this ilk and therefore should be lauded (as long as I won't have to play it myself.)

I am amazed to find that I have never got into Dominion, because I have nothing much against it, unllike most Eurogames it is player-interactive and easy to grasp. Not sure why it needs an expansion, though.

Surprised you didn't say how strong the theme is 😂

Hey, have you played Empires expansion? I had only the base game and asked the community if I was to only buy one expansion that added the most "game" what would it be? Empires was my answer. Instead of just adding more cards with slightly different abilities it adds more and different mechanics. For example castle victory point cards that have abilities. Debt tokens so you can buy things you can't afford but have to pay back. 2 special ability cards that you play with each round that adds some sort of modification and extra ability on everyone's turn. Anyway, long shitty story short, I highly recommend it. I also bough an extra set of base cards and shoved them in the box so I can just play Empires by itself without opening the base game constantly. Another recommendation. Enjoy! 😁👍🏻🥒

Wasnt a huge fan of the relatively themeless feelz, do you have a more thematic love deck builder? Ive tried Clank! but the idea of buying cards in the middle of the dungeon was too abstracted for me...thoughts?

Deckbuilder is my favorite genre of games, dominion is the only one that I just hated completely. Have you tried heart of crown? There is a new second edition coming next year, one to look out for. Very underrated, and fixes the awful victory condition of ruining your deck with junk. The arrow system on the cards is much easier to understand too for people who don't really get the play one card a turn.

I also got jooked on the hard stuff...Tanto Cuore...now I'm permabanned from BGG and the UK government put me on a list

What are your favorite expansions so far.

I went all in on Android: Netrunner and it died. Then I went all in on Arkham Horror the card game and it is still going strong. It's not just you that goes bonkers over a game and spends way too much time and money on it. I've got Dominion/Intrigue but have only played 3 times.

The solution is simple: become addicted to Dale of Merchants instead.

Dominion sound like fun can be kinda $$$ with some of those extensions how is the card stock quality and the more expensive sets better looking cards? Be looking at Wingspan and Cascadia i love ecosystems. Just like my porn addiction i want to buy more board game.

Therapy might be helpful here

Shiiiiit, I don’t need to be addicted to another game. But I do need a game easy enough to teach to an arm chair. Fuuuu#*k what to do?!

Have you played Star Realms?

I played this game until I was sick of it. Expansions and all the like.

But you didn't mention the bigger addiction that you have, Board games! Hopefully you can get your kids addicted too.

I love Dominion. Fortunately, it is popular enough I can leave it to some other idiot to actually buy it.

me2 champ

great game but my kid won't play it

Really great game, fuck ugly though.

The game seems great, but I have such a hard time getting over the disgustingly bad and boring artwork. Maybe I’ll buy it some day anyway.

So you are too poor to get a proper catapult boardgame but 17 Dominions is about ok. Addicts, man...

Why do you jump cut every 3 words? Makes the audio sound choppy and terrible

Thanks for this and all your videos!! Could you tell me which box is the one with the pirates?? 😮😊
