Rio Grande Games Dominion Adventures Game Gold

Had a great time playing Dominion Adventures

This is the best expansion in a long time. It adds some new elements such as leveling up which is like upgrading in Thunderstone. The cards require some familiarity with more advanced concepts so it cant be recommended as a starter set. However, if you have some of the earlier sets, and would like to add new elements, this would be an excellent addition.

Okay, so technically you should have the original Dominion before buying ANY of the expansions, but between Dominion, Dominion: Seaside, and Dominion: Adventures, this has been by far the most complicated/confusing game to play. This expansion introduces Event cards (let you buy something other than a card), Reserve cards (to pick up and play again later), as well as a set of cards that can be upgraded for coins + the cards predecessor. Unfortunately, so far, my husband and I havent found a set of cards to play with (even out of those recommended by Rio Grande) that makes the game feel balanced. Some of the cards are so powerful that if both/all players are not able to buy them near the same time, there is no catching up. Save this expansion for last.

This expansion is dominion on steroids. The synergy of card combos makes this outstanding. The new card types (travellers and reserve, plus the events) really ramp up the whole game.

This is probably my favorite expansion. The pace of play is more of a grind (like Alcehmy) but much more fun and with options that are more interesting.

We bought this thinking it was the game, fooled me. This is an expansion, do not let the wording fail you. Decent expansion if you already have the game though.

Enjoy playing Dominion with the 5 expansions we have.

Nice expansion, but not one of my personal favorites.

This was a gift. I dont play.

I have the base game of Dominion along with two other of its expansions (Seaside, Prosperity). I havent played with the entire expansion yet but the card component quality is terrible. Most people have criticized the card stock being a bit flimsier or thinner than the other sets. I agree with their criticism. However, I find the other issues to be more problematic. The alignment of the imagery of the cards to the black boarder is off on many cards. The corners of at least 90% of my cards in this expansion have been slightly bent. The back of the cards are faded out or have a much lighter coloring than cards from other sets. How this expansion passed quality control is baffling. If this expansion interests you in terms of gameplay I recommend waiting until they produced a second printing or get this expansion at a highly reduced price.
