The base cards is treasure, victory, and curse cards.

I still love Dominion. Especially with some of the more interesting expansions, but even default Dominion, or Dominion: Intrigue (iirc you can get both of these with the basic coin and victory point cards) is a lot of fun, with a lot of replayability. And each expansion increases the interesting combinations exponentially.

Personally, if you go for Dominion, I'd recommend going for the original set, Intrigue, or the "generic" base set + Dark Ages. Intrigue and Dark Ages are my favourite dominion sets, but the original Dominon set is best for a baseline cardset.

The Treasuries were printed all with gold coloring because that's the card type color, no different than white denoting Actions, green denoting Victories (and alt-Victories), blue denoting Reactions, and orange denoting Durations. This will make more sense when you get expansions that have alternative Treasuries such as Harem and the Prosperity cards, where the type color is definitely needed.

Cards within a type are always differentiated by their artwork, which is why the new, standalone set of base cards now print Copper, Silver, and Gold with pictures of, well, Copper, Silver, and Gold.

I'll add to /u/mattc286 and say you don't even need intrigue or core set. You could just grab the base cards, which provides all the treasures and victory cards only.

That is my observation, as well. I checked Amazon for some pricing, and they even sell just the base cards. At $20 or less for a new set of base cards, I don't see sleeves as being a viable option.

If you don't, the new style base cards are pretty cheap.

Why sleeve Dominion when you can just buy another set of the core cards?

I think the main reason to sleeve a game is to prevent the wear from unbalancing the game. For Dominion, knowing if you're going to draw a copper or estate changes how you play. Getting a fresh set of those cards helps the wear on them be less apparent.

My favorite expansion is Dark Ages, but Intrigue, Seaside, or Prosperity are also all good picks for your first expansion. I'd look on the Dominion wiki for the list of cards to see which one you'd think you'd like best.

> Also, if I want to play this game with 5-6 people, do I need another version of the base game?

You need additional base cards, which you can buy by themselves.

Assuming you purchased the regular Dominion set, or the base cards set my recommendations are unchanged from here
:

Prosperity - This is the most straightforward and fun expansion, and can actually lead to shorter games with all the big money cards. #1 purchase for sure.

Guilds - Excellent cards to mix in with a big box. Love the new coin mechanic, since it's easy and fun.

Seaside - Duration cards can be hard to keep track of, but excellent cards all around here.

Hinterlands - Great to mix in with something. Nothing too fancy, just fun.

Cornucopia - Good batch of cards, but because they focus on a varied deck, some cards can be super weak.

Intrigue - Some good cards, but by adding choices to everything it really slows down the game.

Dark Ages - While there are some awesome cards here, most of them increase the complexity, leading to way
longer games. Recommended for very experienced players only.

Alchemy - The least fun expansion. Requiring the potion cards to buy is a weird mechanic and a lot of the cards are just not great.

I see everyone here doesn't like to play with 5+, when I have to agree it makes for better games to split up to 2 and 3, you should try yourself anyway.

And for that you need another set of the base-cards(can be bought alone like this , or through buying 1st edition Intrigue) . I will recommend buying the base cards itself because, the 1st edition of Intrigue isn't that great in comparison with other expansions.

When you have the extra base cards, and if you don't want to split your group the extra rules is like this:

Instead of 12 Provinces, you play with 15 for 5, and 18 for 6. All other victory cards are the same number(except the starting estates which ofc is three more). And the game is over when any four supply piles are empty, or the provinces are empty as usual.

Remember to also add 10 extra curses for each extra player, and add all the extra money from the base cards.

u/annodomini · 1 pointr/dominion

The regular base set is just called Dominion. This is a fully playable game, and the cards have the simplest mechanics, so it is good for getting started.

Dominion: Intrigue is an expansion, but it comes with all of the base cards (coins, victory point cards, and curses) necessary to play the game, so it can be used as a standalone game or an expansion for the base game.

All of the other expansions require you to already have the base cards. However, you can actually buy the base cards separately, and buy an expansion that doesn't have them, if you really don't want to buy one of the two sets that includes them. You'll then need to download the basic rules online, since the rules for each of the expansions just describes the rules for that expansion.

I think the best options for starting out would be just getting Dominion, or maybe that plus one or two expansions, or getting Dominion Big Box which includes the base set and two expansions (Prosperity and Seaside). You could also just start out with Dominion: Intrigue if you wanted.

Dominion is best with 2 players, but I think it works well for 3 and 4 players as well. It's definitely a lighter, more random game with 4 players, while you can really get into the strategy with 2 players; both are fine, depending on what you're looking for. If you combine Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue (or add an extra set of base cards) you could play with up to 6 players in a single game, but I think it would really start to drag at that point. Better to just play two 3-player games instead.

Amazon sells this which has the cards to make the base game up to 6 players, but many don’t recommend playing it with that many players.
