- Dominion (we have 1st Edition), designed by Donald X. Vaccarino in 2008, has been an extremely popular deck-builder that took the board game community by storm. Our experiences with the base game have been entertaining as hell, and this is a lot of what goes through Ashton's head while he plays the game. Namely library being a little crazy, and witches being hilarious. May have to make another Dominion video if we get the expansions.
Dominion 1st Edition is a medieval themed card game with take that (the witch), variable setup, and hand management where players race to have the most land in their kingdom, buying currency, actions, and land itself. Its not a collectible card game like Magic the Gathering or Yugioh, but plays in a similar manner due to probabilities in deck construction and playing 5 cards from a hand on your turn.

I like that when shuffling badly, he couldn't bring himself to bend the cards. He has a boardgamer's heart
They're not sleeeeved!
@@rafhalimaxd to be fair, one of the persona commented that the cards were a little warped. I'm assuming the unsleeved was part of the sketch
I shuffle the shit out of my dominion cards, I don't give a fuck. It's not like Witches are worth $20 each off of amazon or something.
@@Arjay82 How about I don't want to pay for it a second time?
At the end of laboratory guy he ends up having 10 actions, 2 money, and complains that he can't do anything on his turn.
I feel attacked
Either that or 20 money with one buy
I had to stage an intervention for one of my friends, seriously. He would just buy an entire stack of +cards/actions at the cost of getting ...anything that would make having all that draw power worthwhile. Until I spelled it out for him, he never once considered this might be exactly why his turns both took so long and got him no money.
@@CiaphasKirby yeah. You gotta diversify. Get a bunch of villages and laboratories, silver, gold, and extra buy cards as payoffs. Buy a province and 5 cellars in one turn to end the game! That's what I tend to do with base game, or go full mine operation for that eventual 9-15 coin every turn
lab doesn't increase your number of actions?
The best counter to witch
...
is buying witch
Fight fire with with a flamethrower.
Yep
Either that, or a chapel. Removing those starter cards as well as curses.
aye, especially in smaller rounds people forget that you use less curses in the supply, if everyone hands out curses equally all is balanced
Also, that guy who was just buying gold totally won the game.
good ol' BIG MONEY
This guy Dominions
First rule of dominion: does my strat beat just buying 2 silver then go for gold or skip turn otherwise?
Francisco Estévez García and Chapel the Estates and coppers!
Thought this tactic sucked for so long till my dude wiped me out hard with sentry
"Why aren't you guys buying gold? It seems very good." This is my family 💀
It's always fun to play your whole hand in one turn.
Did you mean to say deck?
Imagine if witch picked 1 person to give a curse to. How many friendships would die
so, the Cerberus Engine
I can relate to every second of this video
Ive had turns so long ive gone through my deck shuffled the discard pile into the deck used all of that and run out of cards...... and thats the exact look ive received for it
I had a turn that was taking so long everyone just decided I'd won. I wanted to keep playing, though. My strategy was finally starting to pay off.
In competitive Dominion, that's fairly common, actually. It'll happen every third game or so depending on the Kingdom.
@@mineingpieman more like 2/3 games.
Definitely play with some of the expansion if you haven't, each one makes the game exponentially better. Particularly recommend Prosperity, Dark Ages, Empires, Renaissance, and Nocturne
Unfortunately for us here in Spain, Dark Ages was the last translated expansion. We didn't get Guilds, Adventures, Nocturne, or anything that came after that. We DID get 2nd Edition though.
But oh well... Dominion is relatively easy to play in a foreign language at least since it's so keyword-heavy.
@@Hilipinapixili that's true, I'm sure that's still frustrating though, especially if you like the game
I have Dark Ages and Prosperity, I love love love them, and I was thinking I would probably get Adventures next. But Empires was the other possibility. Now I'm looking at Nocturne and it looks awesome.
If I have prosperity and dark ages, and I'm deciding between nocturne, adventures and empires; which way do I go?
@@Misterparkour2012 I mean, I don't have any problem with it, but of course it's not dependant only on me but on my whole gaming group as well, and while they do have a decent grasp of English sometimes they get technicalities mixed up for understanding something slightly wrong, which ends up screwing them over. What I did was making a proxy with the translated text for each untranslated card, then when setting up the game I put the proxy next to each kingdom card pile.
We had a similar problem with Smash Up! (Pretty Pretty was the last expansion translated to Spanish), except that time I had to make a whole paper for each faction translating all of it's cards. If someone was playing with one of the English factions I gave them the cheat sheet with their whole card list.
@@SquareNoggin I suggest you take a look at the Dominion strategy wiki to see what mechanics and cards each expansion includes. I couldn't just describe each of the sets withoug making one of my trademarked wall of text messages. XD
Other than that, Empires is known to be relatively complex when comparing it to other sets, not in terms of understanding the mechanics themselves but in how to use them effectively. Nocturne seems lo be a love it/hate it expansion, though most people seem to like it.
(After Militia) "Do I draw back up?"
When they go Curses I go Gardens. #justbasesetthings
The newest expansion is fun!
Good ol gardens and buying copper with extra buys to beat curses. I love it
Need to wait until it's released in my country
Can't wait
Newest expansion makes me wish the piles were double the size. #3pilingwaytoosoon
@@brianbaker1700 Wait, you are having games that don't end with provinces getting used up?
But gardens aren't new in the slightest...
Oh, you guys are playing witches?
*laughs in bandit*
You're the only person in the world with both a copy of Twilight Emperium, AND Monopoly Fortnite!
I just bought Twilight Imperium and my mate decided to get me Monopoly Fortnite for my birthday
The guy complaining about warped cards goes to riffle shuffle 😂
I love this game so much. This is spot on!
Much agreed! Nice work! Great video and good laughs.
Do it with Prosperity! The Platinum is outrageous!
so accurate and hilarious as well. always pick up moats when the witch is out!
cheers man! Need to make another one of these soon :) -Ashton
Dude this was HILARIOUS!! 🤣
Weird seeing people play with base only
base is ace!
you forgot
*Militia*
Please stop you're triggering my ptsd
(When their turn starts after being hit with Militia) "Do I draw up?"
Definitely my least-favorite card in the base set.
@@brianbaker1700it makes library go crazy though
dont forget the garden spam
I'm super stoked for Plunder
Pretty accurate actually.
We played with Witches once, immediately realized that it slowed the game down to a halt, never played with them again.
and this kids is why we don't use witch on our decks😌✨
Amusing, thanks!
This is so accurate it hurts
Pretty spot on, but I absolutely adore Dominion so I couldn't help feel a little offended.
I was surprised but my 55+ year old parents really took a liking to the game, so now it's our go-to pass time when I visit my parents.
Gotta say though, even though the base game (I started with 2nd edition though, so it's a little more balanced than the original I think) had me hooked from the start, after getting the expansions Dark Ages and Prosperity it reeeeeally made the game a lot more interesting and exciting.
When I play with my parents, we often do like a "draft" method of picking our Kingdom cards - we take all three randomizers from our three sets, and we take turns picking out a card we want to play with in that match until we reach ten. Picking totally randomly often ends up being no fun, but in our mock draft we can try and balance the supply piles, try to make combos, and make sure we have a decent mix of card types and costs and so forth.
But I totally expected there to be a wealth of game types that players have come up with to find on the internet; but when I search all I can find are the premades on the back of every rule book that the creators came up with. But surely some fans somewhere are posting their own game types right? Why can't I find anything like that? We find new and interesting set-ups every time we play, but there are definitely duds as well. Really interested if anybody knows about a mega thread or something where Dominion players came up with their own premades for every expansion and combination of expansions. The rule books only ever has a mix of two, but surely there are good possibilities to mix three or more no?
Please let me know what are some of your favorite decks! I love creating new decks and finding how to make them functional. Sadly, I haven't composed a list yet. But I have discovered 2, 3, 4, and 6 player games are all quite different and needs a fair amount of tweaking.
I've been playing with way of the rat for each player and everyone has a different action attached to it.
The game was becoming really boring because everyone always goes for the same strategy, the best one.
This way everyone has his little quirk and that makes picks different between players.
That's what I thought as well, where's everybodies lists?
Best combo I've seen is lab remodle and chaple and some gold
I have absolutely ended games of Dominion by emptying the Curses pile.
I was playing a two player game once and curses ended up being a net positive because of gardens
Omg, this is SO point on, it's outright scary xD
EVERY DAY IM SHUFFLING
I love the game. But this is so accurate!
Yeah that matches my experience. Love the game though
Pretty accurate lol
There are only thre types of game with Dominion base set, those with Witch, those with Chapel and those without either.
Pretty accurate
Reminder to only set up 8 curse cards for each person playing minus 8. Under most circumstances, no one should be cursed more than 8 times, and even then, it should probably be less if you're buying a curser yourself or have a good reaction card.
In the rules, it says 10 per person minutes 10 not 8 per person minutes 8. If you want to House rule it that is fine but I just thought you should know.
yeah, that seems about right
You missed having 7 coin
I'm the guy buying two provinces and losing to big money
Just played a game where my friend did the witch thing but with the card Marauder from Dark Ages. Fucking abysmal, everyone's deck was clogged with ruins.
i won my first game of dominion, without knowing any rules, by spamming Sea Hag.
So true!!!
just buy 1-2 moats for every witch someone else buys , or buy 1 chapel for every 3 witches someone buys
No Rats!
I literally just played it exactly like this.
the question is, did anyone end up going into the negative? :) -Ashton
Final scores: 36, 23, -1.
@@morganfitzp feels real gross going through those purple cards at the end ahaha -Ashton
lol, I feel all of this. :D
We always count curses at the end of our games. But we also bought 5 extra stacks of curses, so they practically never run out.
And since we use a variety of expansions each game, we always play with 20 kingdom cards and not 10.
You shouldn't play with extra curses. The curse stack counts like any other card stack for triggering game end, plus it's part of the designed game balance that there's a limit to how many curses can be given out.
@@Gamer2k4 Please leave it to me and my buddies how we should or shouldn't play the game. :)
We don't enjoy the Vanilla rules all that much, so we modified them here and there including the amount of curses, the amount of different kingdom cards, the amount of provinces/colonies, neglecting the "three stacks are empty" game-end trigger, etc. etc.
"House rules" can be fun, for sure! Here's the official rule on # of Curses if interested: "The number of Curses in the Supply is 10 for each player beyond the first -- 10 for two players, 20 for three players, 30 for four players, and so on."
@@Bigcubefan I have another house rules thingy you might like to try: play with all the randomizer cards. So you have 10(ish) piles of 2 costs, 3 costs, 4 costs, etc where each card is unique. I had a game where one friend managed to (more or less) only buy every attack card in the game.
@@blightyfrogs That surely sounds interesting! Might try it out.
They shouldn't have never made a black lotus that also cantrips(laboratory and village).
This is literally how everyone plays the game before they start learning how to actually play. 😆
I still remember when I was playing with my father, I always got all the villages and labs, and my father always got all the provinces…
hahah, it is the fun way to start playing :D -Ashton
I have witch in my Banned cards on Dominion.games , it doesn't work but it makes me feel better.
Where my garden gang at?
lmao so accurate
Does he win??
Yes. I've played Dominion and half the time some guy is playing through 90% of his deck each turn, laying curses, buying provinces... That gets old, fast.
I like the game. In general it's a good design. But you have to be careful about which combinations of cards you allow together.
That's when you get landmarks that make you have to rethink your strategy. Like Wolf den or Wall.
The trick is to have everyone do that, and it’s a game of doing it better. Can be tiresome in 3+ though.
Winning without provinces is much cooler.
Can’t figure out how to play Ways profitably , any examples out there?
umm, im not sure if I understand the question? If this is all in jest, I'll just say: buy gold
Haha question was not in jest, but also not well written.. if I may try this:
If a Way is available to everyone for the whole game, to be played as a substitute for any action, why does it show a number icon on it (as if you have to pay, in order to use it) ?
You don't sleeve dominion? What the hell is wrong with you?
Won't that double the cost of the game?
You SLEEVE those cards? They aren't worth anything. I bridge shuffle those fuckers.
Everyone laughed at me...but my cards are still pristine...it sucks knowing the upcoming cards are those from your starting hand because they are worn...
Imagine using witches
Pre-adventures: This game isn’t that confusing
Post-adventures: What is an event and why do we have them
This made me not want to buy it now lol
I just bought this game after lots of recommendations. I hope it’s not really like this.
ahaha it's not -quite- like this, ESPECIALLY with 2nd edition that has a lot more attack/defense variance. You can always not play with witch as well. As much as I make fun of it here, I still love the game! -Ashton
I never play with witch, for this exact reason. It's by far the best card in the base set, so having it in the game takes all the strategy out of it; whoever has the most witch cards wins. And the game turns into a slog; it's no fun when you can't get combos, because half your hand becomes curses. No new player wants to play a second time, when their first game they were totally destroyed by the witch.
Also, once people learn to play a bit, I also exclude bandit and laboratory, as they are the second and third most powerful, imo. With those 3 excluded, I feel like the base set is a little more balanced.
I miss when I liked this game. Now it's just 98% solitaire deckbuilding with the only real attention paid when there's 2 provinces left, or if there's some strategy being used that demands I add 1-2 cards to my deck to mitigate the odds of getting shafted.
I highly advise picking up Tyrants of the Underdark if you want an upgrade from this, gameplay-wise. Everything gets you points, you're constantly pivoting based on opponent's actions, and there's always discussion about who should get the shaft this round. Only real problem it suffers from is the same as all deckbuilders with the best card in your deck being near the bottom and missing the reshuffle.
Star Realms also has a nice flow to it, and multiple interesting game modes as well.
@@stephanieaensland6520 I'm a bit tepid on it, and it has too much of a feast/famine thing going on. I like what they tried but I'm incredibly disappointed they doubled down on that design with Hero Realms; they injected even more RNG into the game by making cards stronger when others of the same suit are present. It's a neat idea on paper but, in all honesty, it feels like a flop in execution.
It's also why I actively avoid playing with the Elementals market deck from Tyrants; it has the same mechanic and it generally feels like whoever got lucky just gets rewarded.
Have to check this one out. Thanks for the tip.
I may have to check out tyrants then! I’ve got the Dominion base game (late starter here) but each expansion costs as much as the base game, so I’m not sure I want to spend and get any more. Tyrants might sound a bit more value for money?
You should definitely try out the game with the newest expansions, there's several new entire dimensions of strategy that really make the game even better than what it was.
the truest part is that he's playing by himself because no one else wants to play dominion
I want to play dominion.
Sold. I'm not buying this game.
This is hilarious 🤣🤣
I do not like this game.
