Dominion: Nocturne Board Games, 144 months to 9600 months

I own Dominion (2nd ed.), Intrigue (2nd ed.), Prosperity, and Nocturne. I love the way Nocturne plays on its own, my wife loves the way Nocturne cards interact with the other Dominion cards. Either way, Nocturne is a wonderfully complex addition to the Dominion series. The boons and hexes add a bit more of that random factor to the game since you dont know which one youll draw next; but some of the cards allow for a bit more control: like Crypt which lets you store treasures you played during your buy phase for later use; or Cobbler which lets you gain a card to your hand at the start of your next turn. The best part of Nocturne cards is that they really make you rethink your strategy. I imagine a lot of pros are really thrown off balance by it, but having a truly unique expansion is something that I appreciate. While its definitely not the simplest expansion, there is a wide range of incredibly simple to decently complex cards and card combos within the expansion. My dear mother struggled with the idea that she would have to keep track of how many cards she gained in a turn in order to know what would happen when she played a Devils Workshop. But, with enough passion for Dominion, you (and my mother) will figure it out; and this expansion just might be your favorite. I think it might be mine.

Do you like regular Dominion? if so this is a FANTASTIC addition to it. NOTE: this is just what i said previously, AN ADDITION! you will need Dominion, or the base set of dominion in order to play Nocturne. This edition has an extra phase to the game. Nocturne adds to the traditional: Action, Buy, and Clean Up Phases. A Night phase is added after your Buy phase which allows for some unique card combinations and new income generations.

This was a gift for some diehard Dominion fans and they were thrilled to receive it.

Ive been playing Dominion for years and love this set. It adds quite a bit of complexity and strategy. The game had been feeling a bit stagnant but this set spices it up.

Great expansion. Need to have a strong foundation of the original game before playing this. Love the concept of Boons and Hexes! The night phase cards are really unique and add a cool new element to the game. Some new cards are a little weak compared to others which make them rarely used.

great gift

I love this expansion to division kinda confusing at first but well worth the money! We keep convincing our friends and family to play and now they cant get enough!

Dominion Nocturne is an outstanding addition to the Dominion game family. The inclusion of a new Night phase and of Boon and Hex cards adds an all new level to the game. Highly recommended.

It was a birthday gift for my Daughter in Law. She has every pack except that one.

Im a big fan of dominion, and own all of the expansions. I was particularly excited about this expansion due to its dark themes, and some of the cool artwork that I had seen posted in previews. All I can say is that it isnt horrible, its much closer to mediocre. The cards arent really that original. Some of the new mechanics on cards require some tedious combinations with other cards in the set, but dont really amount to much. Although a bit tedious at points the cards were clearly written and straightforward. I also really liked the addition of the Night phase to the game, its really a neat concept that I hope they include on cards in future expansions. We havent tested every card in the set yet...There might still be some interesting interactions between this expansion and others that my friends and I havent discovered yet. All I can say is that we ended up shelving Nocturne after a few game nights, and took Dark Ages off the shelf and played that instead. Overall, I wish there were some more potent cards in the set... I guess I figured it would be a set heavy with curses and attacks.. there are some but I was hoping for some more evil cards to better fit with the theme of the game.
