    This is a great expansion to add to your collection. My introduction to Dominion came when I purchased Dominion: Intrigue (since it was only $20 at the time). Not the usual introduction to the game, but it sucked me in. Then I picked up Dominion: The Big Box (containing Dominion (orig.), Alchemy and Prosperity), and finally Dominion: Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was fun to use with some of the other sets I had. There were some clever plays and tactics we discovered using Intrigue and Dark Ages. Overall, Im glad I picked it up.

    Dominion is one of my favorite games to play. This was a great expansion to add to our main game.

    Awesome Game. Definitely a must buy for anyone who enjoys playing games. Always a blast when someone pulls out dominion.

    We are Dominion junkies. Yes, we need a Dominion Anonymous class. We admit it. We enjoy all of the expansions from the original game, but this one offers the most cards, the most possibilities, and some of the craziest combos. Do you want to deal with Death Carts and capitalize with Foragers and Scavengers? Do you want to risk messing with Rats, Junk Dealers, and Market Squares? Are you more of a Hermit (who has never heard of Dominion) or a Madman (who cant stop playing)? That just scratches the surface of themes you can go with.

    Game is fun to learn and challenging for older kids and adults. Some cards are more useful for strategy than others, but you can pick and choose.

    This is a great set thats easy to learn and adapt into your game. Some of the other expansions have various play pieces and mechanics that take a little more time to learn, but Dark Ages is very intuitive and easy to grasp if youve played the basic Dominion set.

    Compared to the other dominion games I have played this one is more on the offensive, and has far less action giving cards. There is also a lot of cards(rats, poor house) that you wonder why they are in there. The introduction of Knights was a cool feature along with using cards to get different cards(urchin/mercenary).

    I had played it before at my sons, but we have played it along with other expansions, and I love it!

Times have been hard. To save on money, you have moved out of your old castle, and into a luxurious ravine. You didn"t like that castle anyway, it was always getting looted, and never at a reasonable hour. And if it wasn"t barbarians it was the plague, or sometimes both would come at once, and there wouldn"t be enough chairs. The ravine is great, you get lots of sun, and you can just drop garbage wherever you want. In your free time you have taken up begging. Begging is brilliant conceptually, but tricky in practice, since no one has any money. You beg twigs from the villagers, and they beg them back, but no one really seems to come out ahead. That"s just how life is sometimes. You are quietly conquering people, minding your own business, when suddenly there"s a plague, or barbarians, or everyone"s illiterate, and it"s all you can do to cling to some wreckage as the storm passes through. Still, you are sure that, as always, you will triumph over this adversity, or at least do slightly better than everyone else. This is the 7th addition to the game of Dominion. It is 500 cards but is not a stand-alone. It adds 35 new Kingdom cards to Dominion, plus new bad cards you give to other players (Ruins), new cards to replace starting estates (shelters), and cards you can only get via specific other cards. The central themes are the trash and upgrading. There are cards that do something when trashed, cards that care about the trash, cards that upgrade themselves, and ways to upgrade other cards.
