    I wish every rule overview out there was as direct and straight to the point as this. Fantastic.

      Completely agree. I understood more from this straightforward 3-minute video than I did from two different 10+ minute videos.

    I just tried playing this with my family and was so disheartened when everyone complained that it was too complicated. Immediately came home to look up a rule summary video so I can just show them this for next time
    Thank you for such a great explanation in three minutes. Hopefully at Christmas it’ll be much easier to play a game I love without it being made out as too nerdy or complicated for other people to enjoy 😊

  • @TheDreamLeaf

    This is amazingly concise. Thank you for that! I just wanted to quickly point out for anyone who may misinterpret like me that when she says the game continues until 3 stacks of cards have been entirely purchased, this INCLUDES the yellow, green and purple cards and not just the kingdom cards in the middle. Nothing wrong with what rules girl said, just my misinterpretation based on what the video was showing. By the way, if like me you're curious as to whether there are any rules in the rulebook that wasn't covered in the video, keep reading
    -Each turn has 3 phases - action, buy, clean-up. You must finish 1 phase before moving on to the next
    -You can play an action card even if you can’t do everything on the action card, but you MUST do everything you can
    -You must fully resolve 1 action card before playing another
    -When card tells you to discard, they mean discard from your hand unless otherwise stated
    -The top card of a player’s discard pile must be visible to all players
    -When discarding multiple cards into your Discard pile, you only need to reveal how many you’re discarding. You do NOT have to show what cards you’re discarding
    -During clean-up phase, when placing both your used and unused cards into the discard pile, you do NOT have to reveal what the cards were
    -The next player may start their turn when the previous player starts their clean up phase to speed up the game
    -Trashed cards are removed from the game and are NOT available for purchase
    -Reveal = show card to all players then return it to wherever it came from (unless stated otherwise)
    -If your deck doesn’t have enough cards to reveal, shuffle the Discard pile to create a new deck, then reveal the required number of cards
    -Set aside = place card on table face-up without following the card’s instructions
    -Any unused cards/resources/coins etc from the current turn does NOT carry over to the next turn
    -The game ends when you have emptied the pile of Province cards (6 victory points) or ANY 3 supply piles (not just Kingdom cards)
    -Supply pile = any pile of card that you can purchase
    -A player may count how many cards are left in his Deck, but not in his Discard pile
    -A player may not look through his Deck or Discard pile
    -A player may look through the Trash pile
    -A player may count cards in any supply pile
    -If an ability of a card affects multiple players, and the order matters, resolve that ability for each affected player in turn order, starting with the player whose turn it is.
    -When an Action card allows a player to gain a card costing up to a certain value, he may not add coins from his hand or other action cards to gain a higher-valued card.
    -The rulebook clarifies what each kingdom card does

    Very well done. Love those animations. I saw your previous videos, and I'm impressed.

    Nice video! 2 things:
    1. The second editions of the Dominion Base Set and Intrigue expansion are out and have new cards replacing some of the old ones.
    2. It's not clear from your video that you have to play Actions and Treasures into your play area. A common mistake made by new players is to just flash the Treasures in their hand without putting them on the table.

    • @TheRulesGirl
      @TheRulesGirl  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      singletee Thanks for the feedback! We had a tricky time trying to decide the best way to illustrate that. We wanted to keep the first turn as simple as possible, so we went with showing cards entering the play area once there were actions to play.

    • @brianbaker1700
      @brianbaker1700 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Or people putting onto the table the cards that are supposed to stay in their hands!
      It’s definitely a decent video. A bit surprised it didn’t highlight the A-B-C acronym for Phase order, since that’s so helpful and memorable.

    If we have a card that says +3 cards, but our deck is empty. do we shuffle and pick up, or does it end the action.

    tie breaker rules if same victory points ? also do both players get equal number of turns or game ends immediately when piles are empty, if it ends immediately 1st player will always have an advantage I'd think

    Some mistakes:
    1) You don't add up Treasures in your hand, but Treasures that you play. This is important with many Expansion cards.
    2) Kingdom cards you can buy are not just "special Action cards".
    3) The game ends when any three piles are empty, not "entirely purchased". This includes for instance Curses, which will pretty much never be purchased.

    I've been playing for years but I didn't know the number of victory cards (we always freeballed it lol) or that the game could also end with 3 empty piles... weird!

    • @Chestnut529
      @Chestnut529 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Adding the possible endgame of 3 empty supply piles changes the strategy of the game! I love it

    Normal cards don't have blue backs. Only the randomizers do. I doubt new players are even going to notice this, but it's still a funny mistake.

  • @writofmandamus
    @writofmandamus 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    So it's bad to have victory point cards show up in your 5 card hand since they won't do anything?

    • @TheRulesGirl
      @TheRulesGirl  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not ideal, but it's par for the course with Dominion. Some strategies will work toward having fewer of the lower point VP cards so you can focus on drawing coins instead. All depends on your strategy!
