Dominion Card Game

Posted on  by admin

Dominion, the hit strategy card game may seem intimidating to jump into from looking at it on the outside. The seemingly complex card game can be broken down into easy understandable bits for just about anyone to become a master at Dominion. Dominion is the game that started a new genre: Deckbuilding. Winner of the Spiel der Jahres in 2008 and many other awards, Dominion has established itself as a true classic. With more than a dozen expansions currently available, players will always be able to find new challenges.

Quite a while ago, I converted my base Dominion box into a storage solution for the base game + 3 expansions plus extra materials. In the process, I wrote a Python script (get the source here) to generate pdfs of the dividers that I used. I then published those pdfs to BoardGameGeek and since then have improved them due to feedback numerous times. However, people keep putting in requests for special versions (with cropmarks, for different sets, etc.) and the file I publish keeps getting bigger and bigger due to including all version. So, instead of growing the number of versions, I've decided to try putting the script behind the web form on the left so those interested can generate their own versions. Others have also taken my source and changed it if you are looking for different things.

Please note issues and requests on github, talk to fellow users in this thread, or contact me via BGG mail. You can also thumb the thread or the original file thread if you like these dividers, or even better post pictures of how you used them - I'm always curious.

If you would like to contribute, the code for the generator is available on github. A huge thank you to all the people who have contributed to this, especially wvoigt (bgg/github) and nickv2002 (bgg/github) without whom I would have no chance to stay up-to-date with this project.

Dominion is the game that started a new genre: Deckbuilding. Winner of the Spiel der Jahres in 2008 and many other awards, Dominion has established itself as a true classic. With more than a dozen expansions currently available, players will always be able to find new challenges.

If you have never played Dominion before, start here with the basic game. There are millions of different combinations that can be played just with Dominion alone. Each game is different but only lasts 20-30 minutes. Great for two players but just as fun with more players.

Game Components

This is a game of building a deck of cards. The deck contains your resources, victory points, and the things you can do. It starts out a small sad collection of Estates and Coppers, but you hope that by the end of the game it will be brimming with Gold, Provinces, and the inhabitants and structures of your kingdom.

Game Idea

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… dreams! You want a bigger kingdom, more pleasant, 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.
