Featured Game July 2013
In June, Rio Grande Games put out what they expect to be the last Dominion expansion for a small time. Dominion is a wonderful card game that has at this point 8 expansions. This is a medieval style deck building game that focuses on resource spending and victory points and includes money laundering, attacks, and subterfuge. (Unbiased claim of awesomeness and owning 4 sets of this game is inserted here!)
From Donald X Vaccarino & Rio Grande Games:
Jobs, everyone's worried about jobs. Whatever happened to tilling the
fields in obscurity? The economy is just a trick, like stealing
someone's nose, but lately people seem to have seen through it, like
when you realize someone hasn't really stolen your nose. So now
everyone's joining a guild, learning a craft, and working on a
masterpiece – a painting so beautiful it blinds you, or a cheese grater
so amazing that you never eat cheese again. The only people left tilling
the fields are the ones doing it ironically. The guilds cover
everything – ironic tilling, butchering, baking, candlestick making,
shoemaking, cheesemaking, cheese destruction. Your advisor is convinced
that somehow, control of the stonecutters is key to world domination.
Very well. You will have stone handled so expertly that the world
trembles before you.
Dominion: Guilds is the eighth addition to the game of
Dominion,
adding thirteen new Kingdom cards to the game. This expansion has coin
tokens that you can save to spend later, and cards you can get more out
of by paying extra for them.
