Expansions

Revision as of 12:31, 25 June 2016

There are currently ten Dominion expansions; each introduces a particular gameplay concept or mechanism to the game, or focuses on a different aspect of gameplay:

• Intrigue, a large expansion of 25 Kingdom cards, introduces Victory cards that share other types and focuses on cards that allow a player to choose between multiple effects. Intrigue is also a standalone, coming with its own set of Basic cards.
• Seaside, a large expansion of 26 Kingdom cards, introduces Duration cards and in general focuses on cards that can have effects on turns other than when they're played.
• Alchemy, a small expansion of 12 Kingdom cards, introduces Potion and focuses on Action cards.
• Prosperity, a large expansion of 25 Kingdom cards, introduces Platinum and Colony, -costing cards, and VP tokens, and focuses on Treasure cards and powerful or expensive cards.
• Cornucopia, a small expansion of 13 Kingdom cards, focuses on cards that reward or increase diversity in players' hands and decks.
• Hinterlands, a large expansion of 26 Kingdom cards, focuses on cards with when-gain and when-buy effects.
• Dark Ages, an extra-large expansion of 35 Kingdom cards, introduces Ruins, Shelters, and various other unusual configurations of cards, and focuses on trashing.
• Guilds, a small expansion of 13 Kingdom cards, introduces Coin tokens and overpaying.
• Adventures, an extra-large expansion of 30 Kingdom cards, which revisits Duration cards, introduces Reserve cards and Events, and adds 10 different tokens that can modify cards, or track card or Event effects.
• Empires, a large expansion, released in 2016.

There are also several promotional cards that are typically made for gaming conventions, a set of Base Cards with fancy art, and a number of combined and "special edition" sets built from pre-existing expansions.
