| − | '''Prosperity''' is the fourth Dominion [[Expansions|expansion]], released in October 2010. The box contains 25 sets of [[Kingdom]] cards. The basic conceptual theme of the set is wealth, focusing on [[Treasure]] cards and on expensive cards with powerful abilities. It is a full size expansion, and it is best known for featuring a variety of powerful game-changing cards, including the two new [[basic cards]], {{Card|Colony}} and {{Card|Platinum}}, as well as cards that produce {{VP}} [[Victory_token|token]]s. Prosperity also introduced the first Treasure cards that have effects in addition to simply providing +{{Cost}}. It was the first expansion to feature cards costing {{Cost|7}}, and the only one to have no cards costing {{Cost|2}}. It thereby has the highest average card cost of all expansions.
| + | Prosperity is the 4th Dominion expansion, released in June 2011. The basic theme of the set is wealth (prosperity!) and victory point chips, featuring cards that are expensive, able to generate large amounts of {{Cost|}}, or generate victory point chips. It is a full size expansion, and it is best known for featuring a variety of powerful game changing cards. Prosperity is a unique set as it is the only expansion to feature cards costing more than {{Cost|6}}, it has the highest average card cost of all expansions, and it introduces two new basic supply cards.

| − | '''Prosperity (Second Edition)''' was released in June 2022. It contains 9 new sets of Kingdom cards, which are also available on their own as an [[Update_Packs#Dominion:_Prosperity_Update_Pack|update pack]], to allow existing Prosperity sets to be updated to the second-edition form.

| − | == Additional first- and second-edition rules ==
| + | |
| − | === Preparation ===
| + | |
| − | * Prosperity includes two new base cards, {{Card|Platinum}} and {{Card|Colony}}. You can include them whenever you want to; they are always used together. If you want to determine when to use them randomly, choose a random [[Kingdom]] card being used, and if it is from Prosperity, use {{Card|Platinum}} and {{Card|Colony}}. When used, they are in the [[Supply]] and can be bought and gained, but they do not take the place of Kingdom cards; you still have the usual 10 Kingdom cards. Use 8 copies of {{Card|Colony}} for games with 2 players, 12 for games with 3 or more players. Use all 12 {{Card|Platinum|Platinums}} with any number of players.
| + | |
| − | * Prosperity has player mats for tracking {{VP}} [[token]]s. You do not have to use one; if you do, take one when you first have {{VP}} tokens. There is also a [[mat]] for {{Card|Trade Route}}. In games using {{Card|Trade Route}}, put out the mat at the start of the game, and put a [[Coin token]] on each [[Victory]] card pile in the Supply. | + | |
| | | | |
| − | === Platinum and Colony === | + | === Additional Materials === |
| − | * In games using {{Card|Platinum}} and {{Card|Colony}}, there is an additional way the game can end. At the end of each turn, the game ends if one of these three conditions is met: the Supply pile of {{Card|Province}} cards is empty OR any 3 Supply piles are empty (4 piles in a 5-6 player game) OR the Supply pile of {{Card|Colony}} cards is empty. | + | * Victory Point Tokens, Trade Route Tokens, Mats |
| | + | == Additional Rules == |
| | + | *"+X{{VP}}" - The player takes X{{VP}} tokens. He takes them from the pile of unused tokens, not from another player. When a player first takes {{VP}} tokens, he takes a player mat to put them on. {{VP}} tokens are not private; anyone can count them. There are 1{{VP}} and 5{{VP}} tokens; players make change as needed. At the end of the game, players add the {{VP}} they have from tokens to their regular score. If the tokens run out, use something else to track any further tokens; players are not limited by the number of tokens available. {{VP}} tokens are used by Bishop, Goons, and Monument. |
| | | | |
| − | === Victory tokens ===
| + | *“In play” - Action cards and Treasure cards played face-up to a play area are in play until they are moved somewhere else—usually until they are discarded during a Clean-up phase. Only played cards are in play; set aside cards, trashed cards, cards in the Supply, and cards in hands, decks, and discard piles are not in play. Reaction abilities like Watchtower's do not put those cards into play. Duration cards (from Dominion: Seaside), once played, remain in play until the turn they are discarded. Prosperity includes eight Treasure cards with rules on them. They are in the Supply if selected as one of the 10 Kingdom cards for the game; they are not part of the Basic Supply. They are just like normal Treasures, but have special abilities. They are played during the Buy phase like normal Treasures and are affected by cards that refer to Treasures. |
| − | * The {{VP}} tokens are simply tokens that are worth {{VP}} at the end of the game. They provide a way to score that is not cards in a player's deck. | + | |
| − | * They come in {{VP|1}} and {{VP|5}} amounts; make change as needed. They are not counter-limited; use a replacement if you run out.
| + | |
| − | * Cards say "+{{VP|1}} " (or other amounts) to indicate that a player takes {{VP}} tokens. Cards that give +{{VP}} take the tokens from the pile of unused tokens, not from a player.
| + | |
| − | * {{VP}} tokens are not private; anyone can count them.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | === Special Treasures ===
| + | * A player may play his Treasure cards in any order and may choose not to play some (or even all) of the Treasure cards he has in his hand. During the Buy phase, a player must play all of the Treasures he wishes to play before he buys any cards, even if he has +Buys; he cannot play more Treasures after Buying a card. |
| − | * Prosperity includes nine [[Treasure]] cards with rules on them. They are in the Supply if selected as one of the 10 Kingdom cards for the game; they are not part of the Basic Supply. They are just like normal Treasures, but have special abilities. They are played during the [[Buy phase]] like normal Treasures and are affected by cards that refer to Treasures.
| + | |
| − | * Players may play Treasure cards in any order, and may choose not to play some (or all) of the Treasure cards they have in hand. The order can matter; for example {{Card|Bank}} counts Treasures played before it, and itself, but not Treasures played after it. | + | |
| − | * During the Buy phase, playing Treasures comes strictly before buying cards; once a card is bought, no further Treasures can be played. This can be important, for example with {{Card|Grand Market}} or {{Card|Mint}}.

| − | == Impact == | + | == Impact of Prosperity == |
| − | Prosperity is a very popular expansion, as its themes lend very well to extravagant [[engine|engines]] and frequent high-spending turns, which are usually quite a lot of fun to play. Most of the cards produce {{Cost}}, and Prosperity-heavy games can result in ludicrously high amounts of {{VP}} being gained (at least compared to other expansions), including cards that can indefinitely continue to produce {{VP}}. It quite firmly grounded the strategic center of Dominion in engine decks, and it wasn't until the release of [[Hinterlands]] that this changed.

| − | === Victory tokens ===
| |
| − | The three {{VP}} token cards - {{Card|Bishop}}, {{Card|Monument}} and {{Card|Goons}} - allow for the acquisition of {{VP}} without gaining Victory cards. They are all quite popular cards, as well as strong ones, and can, in some cases, lead to stalemate game states where no player moves to end the game, because they can simply continue producing {{VP}} indefinitely. Despite being such a small part of the set, they are usually thought of as one of the key themes of the expansion. All of them favor engine games, as they allow not only for decks without Treasures, but decks without any Victory cards to clog a trimmed engine.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Treasures ===
| |
| − | Despite having the most Kingdom Treasures of any set, the Treasures of Prosperity for the most part favor engine and [[combo]] play more than [[big money]].
| |
| − | * {{Card|Loan}} - trashes other Treasures to help jumpstart an engine
| |
| − | * {{Card|Quarry}} - makes it much easier to purchase high-cost Actions
| |
| − | * {{Card|Talisman}} - can pick up cheap engine parts quickly
| |
| − | * {{Card|Contraband}} - terrible as a BM card, works best in Alt-VP strategies
| |
| − | * {{Card|Royal Seal}} - allows for the immediate use of engine parts
| |
| − | * {{Card|Bank}} - functions best with large handsizes, which engines provide most reliably
| |
| − | However, a minority of the Treasures are well-suited to BM strategies:
| |
| − | * {{Card|Venture}} - an "engine" onto itself, but only with other Treasures
| |
| − | * {{Card|Hoard}} - encourages BM play, though it can fit in certain engines

| − | I guess I can talk about a few outtakes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - "Trash up to 2 cards from your hand. Then if you have no cards in hand, gain a {{Card|Gold}}." I liked it. It's true that it didn't proc very often. It tried out for {{Set|Allies}} too.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - "+1 Buy, If you have at least {{Cost|7}}, +{{Cost|3}} and +1{{VP}}." A Treasure for {{Cost|2}}. If the cards just had to look pretty when you read them, it would have been a shoe-in for the set. Sadly they also have to play well.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - Some treasures tried to get out of the way of your draw, until you wanted them. There were multiple approaches here that did not fly.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - There was a {{Card|Bridge}} Treasure for non-Actions. A counterpart to {{Card|Quarry}}.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - There were {{Card|Mine}} variants. There was a {{Card|Changeling}} Treasure. There was a one-shot {{Card|Copper}} that turned into a {{Card|Gold}} (another throwback to a card from early versions of Prosperity). There was a Treasure with a built-in [[Event]] ("may pay {{Cost}} to...").
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - One I especially remember was a {{Cost|5}} Treasure worth {{Cost|4}} that gained a {{Card|Copper}} onto your deck. It turns out that +{{Cost|4}} is a lot.

| − | I don't know why [Prosperity 2E] seems to have fewer attacks, despite having the same number. Maybe because you're used to the old cards and it's easy to forget about the new ones.
| |

| − | There's nothing to talk me into here. Overall the later expansions go a little lighter on attacks than the early ones did (not counting how Prosperity 1E intentionally had fewer). But the attacks are also more playable in general; no {{Card|Thief}}, {{Card|Pirate Ship}}, etc. While at the same time being less "I don't get to play this game"; no {{Card|Ghost Ship}}, {{Card|Mountebank}}, etc. And I mean the most recent expansion, {{Set|Allies}}, has 7 attacks, including one that people singled out to say, how could I make such a powerful attack (it's {{Card|Barbarian}}, and they may still come around; no regrets there so far).
