Dominion Base Card Game - Classic Deck Building Strategy Board Game for Adults & Families | Perfect for Game Nights, Parties & Family Gatherings

We really like Dominion, but the truth is, we prefer Ticket to Ride.Don't get me wrong, we do enjoy a game of Dominion but the majority of the extensions are either not appealing to us, or simply too expensive.The fact that Dominion is for only 4 players IS an obstacle...Enter the Base Cards, which provide 2 major improvements over Dominion.The Base Cards now allows you to play with up to 6 players with additional base cards: plenty of Copper (60), Silver (40) and Gold (30) as well as Estate (24), Duchy (12), Provinces (12) and curses cards(30). You even get 16 potions to increase the pile if you bought Alchemy.With 5 players, use 15 provinces/duchy and for 6 players, use 18 provinces. That's right, with this set, you have 6 extra cards so in theory, you could play with up to 8 players!You should however add 1 Kingdom card per player above 4 and ignore the "3 supply pile" rule.But each of these cards are completely redesigned with much nicer pictures so that they are more than just a big number, so I recommend that for 2-4 player games, you can just use the new cards.For me however, the biggest advantage to the game is the addition of 12 Colony (11g to buy, 10 victory points) and 12 Platinum coin (9g to buy and gives 5 gold).You can otherwise only get these 2 cards from the Prosperity expansion (for almost 3 times the cost of the base cards) and you can add them to ANY game of Dominion, not just those with Prosperity.I personally sleeve my cards but I managed to fit everything I might use in my Dominion box by putting the Platinum and the Colony in the randomizer cards spaces, and then, simply used an elastic to place the randomizer cards on top of the index column.I also placed the extra Gold, Silver, Etc... there.My base card box only has the extra curses (we don't like playing with the Witch) and Poitions (since we don't have alchemy).All and all, a great buy for a very low price.
