What is Dominion
"You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams! You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner.
But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents, on your mother's side, would be delighted."
—description from the back of the box
In Dominion, each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can "buy" as they can afford them. Through their selection of cards to buy, and how they play their hands as they draw them, the players construct their deck on the fly, striving for the most efficient path to the precious victory points by game end.

What the community says about Dominion
Juego de cartas rapido, sencillo y muy adictivo. Hay que saber leer los combos al principio de la partida para idear una estrategia ganadora. Ha funcionado con jugones y no jugones.
[b]Primera partida[/b] (5/10) Un poco frio [b]Décima partida[/b] (6/10) Buen juego de cartas solitario multijugador. Mecánica de construcción de mazos que ya es un referente. Sencillo de aprender pero com más profundidad de la que aparenta
#10
El juego que inventó el deckbuilding. Miles de juegos posteriores se han nutrido de esta genial mecánica pero, aunque muchos me gustan, todavía no he encontrado ninguno que sea claramente superior. La manera de equilibrar el mazo con cartas más potentes para luego hacerlo decrecer al comprar puntos de victoria me parece una genialidad. No obstante al solo poseer esa mecánica se me ha acabado haciendo muy repetitivo.

Un juego rápido, original y sencillo, muy bueno; desnivel si se ha jugado previamente o no.
Juego de gestión de cartas y mano, con tropecientas expansiones, bastante original, aunque no me acaba de convencer o de apasionar del todo, ya que cada uno va a su bola y no hay casi interaccion. En el club AMB lo tenemos con casi todas las expansiones principales.
En síntesis, Dominion es un juego en el que hay dispuestas 10 cartas en una zona común para su compra y cada jugador, en un solitario paralelo al de los demás, debe desentrañar cuál es modo más rápido de lograr la victoria a base de adquirir y jugar cartas de acciones, tesoro y victoria. Cada jugador forma su propio mazo del que robará y descartará cartas e irá comprando otras de entre las 10 del "mercado" común. Se pueden comprar tres tipos distintos: Las cartas de *tesoro* sirven para comprar cualquiera de las tres clases de cartas y hay de tres valores distintos (1,2,y 3 monedas). Las ca
