Table Top Game Reviews: Dominion

Dominion is a really fun deck building game where each time you play, you get a unique experience. My 8-year-old son Devon loves this game, but it takes a while to play and set up, so we don't play all that often. He's been bugging me for a while to play, so we finally got around to it this week.

Dominion is one of those games that once you set up and start playing, you think, "Why don't we play this more often? This game is awesome!" We actually have the base game plus two expansion packs.

You can buy it on Amazon (currently selling for $31.86) as a 2nd edition (we only have the first edition). It's got a 7.7 rating on boardgamegeek.com out of 57k ratings and 11k comments. It's currently ranked 55 overall and 53 in strategy.

Here are the main reasons I like this game:

1. Each time we play it, we pick a unique starting set of cards which makes each game different.
2. The game involves a beginning strategy, a middle game strategy, and an end game strategy which can change based on your opponent's actions and based on the cards you both have.
3. It can be really exciting to get a nice deck going where you can string a bunch of cards together with multiple actions, multiple card draws, and multiple buys.
4. It teaches my son strategy on multiple levels. He has to think about how to spend his resources and build a strategy around his action cards.

We played twice this past week and I only won once. Devon kicked my butt the second time we played, and he was quite happy about it.

Thanks for checking out my board game review!
