First Edition Recommended Kingdoms

When the second editions of Dominion and Intrigue were released, several cards from those sets were replaced with brand new cards. This necessitated the reworking of the Recommended Kingdoms in the sets' rulebooks to remove the obsolete cards and to include the new cards. In some cases, more extensive changes were made. Entirely new kingdoms were also added where none existed in first edition. The updated second edition kingdoms are listed on their respective sets' pages; this page is an attempt to preserve the original, first edition Recommended Kingdoms.

Where applicable, it also describes the changes made to these kingdoms from first to second edition, using out to note cards removed and in to note the cards that replaced them. In these specifications, an italicized card name for out represents an obsolete card and an italicized card name for in represents a card new to second edition.

First Edition Kingdoms

The Recommended Kingdoms involving just Dominion and Intrigue got reworked heavily for second edition. Many are nearly unrecognizable between the two editions, and some appear to have been dropped entirely and replaced with completely different kingdoms.

Kingdoms that weren't changed are not included.

Dominion 1E

Dominion 1E by itself

First Game [images]
	Cellar			Market			Militia			Mine			Moat

	Adventurer			Bureaucrat			Chancellor			Chapel			Feast
	Laboratory			Market			Mine			Moneylender			Throne Room

Second edition has no kingdom with this name, but it does have a relatively similar one called "Silver and Gold," which shares six cards with this one and seems to serve as its successor.

Second Edition Changes: name – "Silver and Gold"; out – Adventurer, Chancellor, Feast, Market; in – Bandit, Harbinger, Merchant, Vassal.

Second Edition has a Kingdom with this name, but it's been extensively reworked; the new version retains only Chapel, Gardens, Witch, and Workshop. Second Edition Changes: out – Cellar, Feast, Laboratory, Thief, Village, Woodcutter; in – Artisan, Bandit, Bureaucrat, Festival, Sentry, Throne Room.

The following two kingdoms appear to have been completely removed from second edition. In their place are three new kingdoms, "Deck Top," "Sleight of Hand," and "Improvements," none of which seem to share any similarities with these.

Combinations With No First Edition Recommended Kingdoms

Some sets' rulebooks did not include Recommended Kingdoms combining the set with each and every previous set. As a result, there are some combinations of sets that simply didn't have any Recommended Kingdoms in first edition. Some of these combinations received Recommended Kingdoms in their sets' second edition rulebooks. Others may be given Recommended Kingdoms later. (Not all second edition rulebooks have been released at the time of this writing.) This list notes the set combinations that did not have Recommended Kingdoms in first edition (and lists their status in second edition).

• Intrigue/Seaside (noted above), Seaside/Alchemy, Seaside/Prosperity, Alchemy/Prosperity (kingdoms present in second edition rulebooks)
• Seaside/Cornucopia, Prosperity/Cornucopia, Seaside/Guilds, Prosperity/Guilds, Hinterlands/Guilds, Dark Ages/Guilds, Alchemy/Cornucopia, Alchemy/Guilds, Cornucopia/Guilds (kingdoms present in second edition rulebooks, but listed under the Cornucopia/Guilds combined set, along with the existing first edition kingdoms for Hinterlands/Cornucopia and Dark Ages/Cornucopia)
• Alchemy alone, Cornucopia alone, Guilds alone (these are all small sets and don't have recommended kingdoms in either edition)

Alchemy/Adventures did have Recommended Kingdoms in first edition, but they were mistakenly omitted from the Adventures rulebook.

Other Set Combinations

Other combinations of sets that existed up until the release of Empires had no changes made to their recommended kingdoms between first and second edition, so the most recent Recommended Kingdoms listed on those sets' pages should be the same as they were in first edition. [Still verifying this claim.]
