Dominion Intrigue (First Edition) isn’t technically an expansion. It’s a standalone version of the game that comes with all of the base cards (copper, province, etc). That being said it’s more of an alternate starting point into the world of Dominion. The Second Edition has been released with a lot of clarification and streamlining. Prosperity includes 25 randomizer cards (one for each Kingdom card in Prosperity). Players need the Treasure cards, Victory cards, Curse cards, and Trash card from either Dominion or a standalone expansion to Dominion (e.g., Dominion: Intrigue) to play with this expansion.

I tried giving Duchy an ability. It had to be a buy phase ability but that was fine; I tried +1 Buy + (but +2 Buys because you bought the Event). Discard a Duchy , get that stuff, cost Colony:Whoever thought that Provinces alone win games is in for a rough awakening. Colonies are worth 10 victory points, making them a huge game-changer. Be careful though, the game still ends when the Provinces are all gone, so make sure you keep an eye on them. I started working on this and Seaside 2E at the same time. Prosperity also badly wanted to get rid of some cards. If we could revisit Seaside we could sure revisit Prosperity. Forbidden Arts:Apprentice, Familiar, Possession, University, Bandit, Cellar, Council Room, Gardens, Laboratory, Throne Room The coin system that several expansions have used has been expanded upon and streamlined.

There are some recurring rules that veterans to the game will immediately recognize (durations), and they’ve simplified and refined some of the concepts of previous games. All together it creates a very enjoyable experience throughout by giving players a little bit of what they originally fell in love with, and also adding a few very exciting rules and cards. It’s beginner-friendly while still adding a ton of depth for experienced players. Major Rule Changes The Great Hall card gives +1 action and +1 card while also being worth 1 victory point at the end of the game. Night comes after your action and buy phases and you can play any number of Night cards in your hand. This is where all your creepy crawlies can be used to really wreak havoc on your game.
