Really hard to find step by step instructions for an absolute beginner. You lost me pretty early on. Would be great if you started with opening the box And explaining how to make all those piles of cards. The instruction manual is over my head too.
Fantastic video. The other ones on this topic have too loud music or are basically a PowerPoint presentation. This was great. I would love it if you played a game of Dominion with someone else to see the entire flow of the game.
You explain games exceptionally well. Please make more videos, I’m planning to watch all of yours for the games I play. Additionally, would love to chat about a game I’m developing if you have Instagram at the same name
Thanks so much, that's very kind of you to say. I have to say we made these videos in anticipation of a special board game league we were running which has since ended, so I'm not planning to do any more any time soon, but messages like these are really nice to receive. Having said that, I run a company that hosts game-themed events, including showcase nights for local board game designers. If you're in New York, Boston or Chicago, shoot me an email at host@quirkevents.com. I'd love to hear more about your game and see if it could be a fit for an upcoming showcase night.
This is confusing. He played all the cards, traded, built population and body size and then grabbed food and only then moved to the next player. I thought from the instructions that everyone takes a turn doing the playing of cards and building, and then everyone takes turns at getting food. Which is correct here?
Players start with two action influencer cards in hand and two coins. Win by eliminating all opponents’ influencers. On your turn, either take 1 income coin, take 2 foreign aid coins (can be blocked by any opponent’s Duke card), neutralize opponent’s card with 7 coins, take 3 with your Duke, eliminate a card with Assassin and 3 coins (blocked by any Contessa), exchange Ambassador to select 1 of 2 drawn cards, steal 2 with Captain (blocked by Captain or Ambassador). Eliminate/turn one card up when challenged for action/block without card or failing a challenge. Cards surviving challenges are replaced.
There are like 5 or 6 sets of random topics and no one could possibly remember answers to every single one so it’s always fun. In the new sets, they come with blank cards and you can put in any topic you want
At long last : clarity of the rules without rumbling. Have the 2nd Edition still unplayed on the shelf ! Now I can actually get started. Main problem I had ( and still have ) is the vast number of games and those that are outplayed because of poor rule books eg: Lord of the Rings ( have that and the two Hobbit expansions ) sleeved and crying out to be played.that Anyway, I thank you.
I don’t get it - 1. do both teams use the same deck? Or do they use separate decks? 2. 1 minute team turns with alternating clue giver. But when does a round end?
Took me until now to get it: 1) Yes. After 1 minute (or 40 secs, whatever you all decide), the next team goes using the same deck, minus the cards that the other team won on their last turn/attempt. 2) The round ends when ALL the cards of the stack have been guessed correctly. In other words, when all the cards in the makeshift deck are going to one team or the other.There may be any number of turns in a round as the teams alternate. So completing the first round is very much like memorizing a bunch of flash cards.
Hey man, I hope you are keeping well. I had no way to reach out to you but just checking you are well. I love your videos a lot and the way you explain and I look forward to seeing you again. All the best!
Is this Ryan Reylonds if he wasn't fmaous?
Also wtf does bts have to do with this video?
So basically secret hitler
If that all the game it sound too expensive, you can make that yourself 🤔

I miss playing this game with my co-workers. I don’t think that’s gonna happen anymore. 😅
Yay
In this game you're all knights. one second later. Some of you are not knights. Idk why that made me laugh so much.

Thank you, your explanation helped so much!
I think this was the easiest to follow tutorial of Dominion.
Very informative, thank you!
I don't think you can mime in the second round, can you? Only the one word.
Thanks Jim
In other videos once you uncover the wild card the players do not put later any random card on top they wait for another wild card
Clear explanation, very useful
Super clear instructional video in just 9 min :) make up my mind to order the game and play. Thank you!
Bad idea showing the cards upside down for the camera for the other team.
Great explanation and to the point!
Great explanation
Great explanation! I’m glad you explained a variety of cards. Very complete and well organized explanation.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your saying that!
It was laid out so simple but so many steps my brain hurts 🧍🏼♀️
Ha, that's fair. Once you play a couple of rounds, hopefully it becomes a lot simpler.
So basically it's mafia
very clear thank you
Great video. Extremely well explained. I'm ready to play! Thank you.
Thanks so much, I appreciate your saying that!
Note: don't actually kill the person you are playing with.
Oh
Very clear. Thank you!
I remember the day when we had a squad of two evil guys and a mission somehow ended up with three failures.
😂
why does no one explain how to set up the game?
U forgot percíval !!
This is by far the easiest-to-follow tutorial I’ve seen all day. I’ll be playing w my friends tonight for the first time. Very helpful, thank you
Nice video overview :)
are points accumulated or taken at the highest level?
God loves you guys!!

Nice tutorial! Thanks!
I have owned this game for years and never played it, great teaching video. Hope to finally dust it off & play
I hope I can understand after what BTS did😭
Well explained thanks man

I assume this has to be played with 5 players?
so once you've seen all cards, the game is not fun anymore?
There are like 5 or 6 sets of random topics and no one could possibly remember answers to every single one so it’s always fun. In the new sets, they come with blank cards and you can put in any topic you want
if its still a tie the one wins who has the longest route between the two, after that its a draw
Thank you very helpful

"Anne Landers" is Dear Abby...fyi...!!!
