| − | In Dominion, all players starts with an identical deck and have access to the same set of cards, called the [[Supply]]. Each card has a unique ability which can either help the player, hurt their opponents, or count towards the game ending condition. The goal is to have the most [[Victory point|Victory points]] by the end of the game. Usually the Supply consists of three piles of [[Basic cards#Basic_Victory_cards|basic Victory cards]], three piles of [[Basic cards#Basic_Treasures|basic Treasure cards]], a pile of {{Card|Curse|Curses}} and 10 piles of [[Kingdom]] cards. Some Kingdom cards add other piles to the setup as well. The 10 Kingdom cards can be selected by players or chosen randomly for a unique experience.

| − | Each turn, play proceeds in three phases for each player sequentially.
| + | |
| − | * Action phase - The player is able to play one [[Action card]] from their hand. Some Action cards provide additional actions allowing for more Action cards to be played this turn. They may also produce {{Cost|}} or buys which can be used in the Buy phase. The Action phase ends when the player is unable or chooses not to play any additional Action cards.
| + | |
| − | * Buy phase - The player may play as many [[Treasure|Treasure cards]] as they wish in any order. Most Treasures generate {{Cost|}}, though some have other abilities. The player is given the ability to purchase one card from the Supply [[cost|costing]] up to the total amount of {{Cost|}} they have accumulated this turn. Action and Treasure cards which grant +Buy allow the player to purchase multiple cards per turn. When a player buys a card, the bought card is taken from the [[Supply]] and placed in the player's discard pile. Spent Treasure cards are not lost.
| + | |
| − | * Clean-up phase - All cards in play and in the player's hand are discarded and a new hand of 5 cards is drawn from their deck. If at any time a player needs to draw a card when their deck is empty, they immediately shuffle their discard pile to make a new deck.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The game ends at the end of the turn whenever one of three conditions is met:
| + | |
| − | * The {{Card|Province}} pile is empty.
| + | |
| − | * Any three [[Supply]] piles are empty (four Supply piles in a game with 5 or 6 players).
| + | |
| − | * If playing with {{Card|Colony|Colonies}} from {{Set|Prosperity}}, the Colony pile is empty.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When the game ends, each player counts the total number of {{VP}} Victory points in their entire decks. Whoever has the most is declared the winner. If two players tie for the most {{VP}}, whichever player had the fewer number of turns is the winner. If they are still tied they rejoice in their shared victory.
