The Dominion Game

Fun Board Games

The Dominion Game is a combination card and board game that is set in Medieval Europe. If you enjoy challenging tactical games set in Medieval times, Dominion is perfect for you.

Players take the roles of monarchs looking to expand their kingdoms by claiming empty land, building castles, and hiring minions. The game comes with 500 cards, and each player begins the game with a small set of them. Players then buy or bid on cards that are placed in the center of the board, use their cards to construct buildings on owned land or full their pockets with more gold, and try to beat the other players by having the largest kingdom by the end of the game.

Each player chooses 10 out of a possible 25 land types to use during the game. A game of dominion takes about 30 minutes for two players. The game play is similar to collectible card games like Magic the Gathering, but is more flexible with the option to change tactics while in play. The game accommodates two to four players, but three is the recommended number.

Dominion also has over 20 expansion packs to date, which allow for limitless possibilities in gameplay. The game is rated for children 8 and up, due to the heavy amount of reading needed to play the game.
