The original design for the Collectors Case was to be a '''Signature Edition''' with a design much more reminiscent of the English-language version of Dominion. It was to include a photograph of Christof Tisch on one side and different art, but otherwise it was designed in the same manner as the released version. | The original design for the Collectors Case was to be a '''Signature Edition''' with a design much more reminiscent of the English-language version of Dominion.

A poll was held in February 2012 to determine whether the public wanted the Signature Edition or a much simpler white-box design with no branding thats only benefit was the fact that it could hold more cards. This later design was promised as a future option but never released. | A poll was held in February 2012 to determine whether the public wanted the Signature Edition or a much simpler white-box design with no branding thats only benefit was the fact that it could hold more cards.
