Empires is the upcoming tenth expansion to Dominion. It includes cards that can be paid for after they are bought and gained, piles with two different cards, and new Landmarks. It also reintroduces tokens and Events.
Flavor Text
The world is big and your kingdom gigantic. It's no longer a kingdom really; it's an empire. Which makes you the emperor. This entitles you to a better chair, plus you can name a salad after yourself. It's not easy being emperor. The day starts early, when you light the sacred flame; then it's hours of committee meetings, trying to establish exactly why the sacred flame keeps going out. Sometimes your armies take over a continent and you just have no idea where to put it. And there's the risk of assassination; you have a food taster, who tastes anything before you eat it, and a dagger tester, who gets stabbed by anything before it stabs you. You've taken to staying at home whenever it's the Ides of anything. Still overall it's a great job. You wouldn't trade it for the world - especially given how much of the world you already have.
Trivia
Donald X. stated a couple weeks before release that Empires has a Roman flavor in terms of theme.
A couple days before the teaser (which would come a couple days before actual previews), Donald X. dropped some news on changes in layout of cards.
Well this is unprecedented, but I'm not made of stone. Here are some spoilers about card layout.
- A bigger font is used on cards that don't have lots of text. - "They" is used instead of "he." - +'s in the body of text are now in bold.
- Card texts are more carefully centered than ever before.
