    I was worried that Donald X would run out of ideas, but Empires is a clear-cut proof that he is very far from it. If anything, hes getting better: where some early expansions included poorly-designed dud cards, the Empires cards are uniformly fun to play.

    Pretty much works as advertised. Really fun for experienced Dominion players. Not so much for new players

    For rookies like me who dont know this game well.... bought by mistake because the word game is in the title description and not expansion. While expansion is mentioned in the Q & A , it should be more clear. Thanks

    Caveat, I love Dominion. This is more Dominion, so I love it. The new mechanics are fun, and give some good variability to the game. Debt is an interesting mechanic, but it ultimately is just a new and limited form of currency that only applies to 6 of the 29 kingdom cards and 1 each of the events and Landmark cards. Otherwise it is unused throughout the entirety of Dominion except for those 8 cards (so far). It was supposedly conceived as a sequel to Prosperity, but I have to say I would not have clued in on that without doing some reading. There are more Victory cards sure, but the highest costing Kingdom card is 5 coins if you dont consider the few cards that cost 8 debt. If you are the sequel to Prosperity, that introduced 5 coin Platinum treasure and 8 coin cost cards, well you see my confusion as to calling this a sequel. It brings back the split upgrade feature of Adventures, but only on one item, the castles, which pretty much only provide victory points. It offers 2 duration cards, SeaSide is still my favorite expansion so yay there. Adventures was a far more extensive expansion, I understand it is bigger by design but this feels underwhelming after that one. This actually feels like an expansion to the Adventures expansion, as we get more events and the locations mechanic feels like an extension of the event mechanic. If you love Dominion, have at, but this is probably down around Hinterlands territory for me in the order of acquisition, ie one of the last expansions someone building a dominion set should worry about buying.

    I received this as a gift so it is definitely giftable. It is easy to learn. Not sure about value for the money because I didnt buy this one and dont know how much was spent. Ive played it several times and it adds a good variety to the base game.

    They keep adding new features which keeps the game interesting

The world is big and your kingdom gigantic. It"s no longer a kingdom really; it"s an empire. Which makes you the emperor. This entitles you to a better chair, plus you can name a salad after yourself. It"s not easy being emperor. The day starts early, when you light the sacred flame; then it"s hours of committee meetings, trying to establish exactly why the sacred flame keeps going out. Sometimes your armies take over a continent and you just have no idea where to put it. And there"s the risk of assassination; you have a food taster, who tastes anything before you eat it, and a dagger tester, who gets stabbed by anything before it stabs you. You"ve taken to staying at home whenever it"s the Ides of anything. Still overall it"s a great job. You wouldn"t trade it for the world - especially given how much of the world you already have.
