Intrigue broadened the range of possible card effects beyond what was available in the [[base set]] in two major ways: it introduced cards that offer a choice between multiple distinct effects, as well as [[Victory]] cards with multiple [[type|types]] and functional effects beyond scoring points. Each of these functions would join the arsenal of basic Dominion card-design elements and go on to be reused by [[Donald X. Vaccarino]] in multiple future [[expansion|expansions]]. They nevertheless have held up as the distinctive theme of Intrigue, which contains more Victory kingdom cards than any other expansion, and more cards that offer an explicit choice between distinct effects than any other expansion except {{set|Allies}}, which revisits choices as one of its own themes.

Intrigue also increased the strategic and tactical depth of Dominion beyond what the base set offered by introducing more cards that benefit from advanced play: for example, {{Card|Wishing Well}} rewards careful deck-tracking in a way no card in the base set does; {{Card|Swindler}} requires paying close attention to an opponent's strategy to know what cards will disrupt it; and {{Card|Coppersmith}} and {{Card|Conspirator}} require decks specifically tailored to their strengths to be useful.
