Juego Dominion Empires

Great expansion. The debt cards are both interesting and fun.

Another great Dominion Expansion. Easy to integrate and keeps the fun going!

Great game! The debt cards are just not very good (Dave Ramsey would be proud) they just aren't as good for how much they cost, though obviously it's a trade off for the flexibility of being able to purchase them anytime. Still, we found as we played that we only bought them if there wasn't another card that fit what we needed, and tried to take on either zero debt or very little so it didn't affect future turns as much.I love the rest of it, though! The event and landmark cards are really fun and mix things up a lot. Some are a nice bonus, and some drastical change the whole strategy of the game. They were very stellar! It's especially good to pair with Prosperity, I think we only played 1 round without platinum and colonies before deciding they were essential. It was a better fit, since

Caveat, I love Dominion. This is more Dominion, so I love it. The new mechanics are fun, and give some good variability to the game. Debt is an interesting mechanic, but it ultimately is just a new and limited form of currency that only applies to 6 of the 29 kingdom cards and 1 each of the events and Landmark cards. Otherwise it is unused throughout the entirety of Dominion except for those 8 cards (so far).It was supposedly conceived as a sequel to Prosperity, but I have to say I would not have clued in on that without doing some reading. There are more Victory cards sure, but the highest costing Kingdom card is 5 coins if you don't consider the few cards that cost 8 debt. If you are the sequel to Prosperity, that introduced 5 coin Platinum treasure and 8 coin cost cards, well you see …

Another awesome Dominion expansion. More events, another orange card, more victory token cards, debt tokens which allow purchases before you can afford them, and stacks that change halfway through the pile. Cool stuff that plays well. Also a new card type: Landmarks. Landmarks are essentially additional victory point goals. For instance, one of them gives 3VP for each set of copper/silver/gold you have at game's end.Castle victory card stack has cards worth more and more VP as you buy into it and they have abilities.There's a treasure/action card that will double an action OR treasure card it is played with!I loved the previous expansion Adventures but this set plays a little bit smoother. Fun new mechanics and cool angles on old ones.

Wonderful! I would play it every day if I had time. Great expansion set, and I have them all. This one is a little complex if you are not already familiar with Dominion and maybe a couple of other expansions. I love the Landmarks and new Events which are played like the Events in the Adventures expansion. Introduces the concept of debt. It is really fun to play with the Prosperity expansion. With debt you can buy a card such as Overlord with no money, but you have to take 8 debt tokens, and you cannot buy another card until you pay off that debt. Lots of money flows in this expansion.

Wow...just when I thought nothing could top my fav Adventures expansion...along came Empires! I have purchased one for myself, my sister's family as well as my brother's family! The addition of landmarks is such a fantastic way to play a game you're familiar with and yet completely change it up with new ways to earn victory points! We also started using their idea of putting 5 higher priced/more valuable cards beneath 5 cheaper cards in some of our kingdom piles...so fun! Not sure why we hadn't thought of this ourselves but would simply have 11 or 12 kingdom piles for our home games because we couldn't decide which of our favs to kick out of the supply. Thanks for the idea, Empires! Obviously we have also enjoyed playing with this expansion's predetermined split piles as well.This …

Just as Dominion was growing stale, Donald X and his merry band of play-testers came up with some concepts that have infused the game with new life and myriad possibilities. This revival started with Adventures, where we were introduced to Events and Reserve cards, and now with Empires we get Landmarks and Debt tokens. The game has evolved from the primitive stages to the world of capitalistic conquest.Empires comes with a small number of attacks, but they are amusing and sometimes brutal. Legionary has destroyed a game or two of mine, forcing me to discard down to 2 cards before drawing one, while Enchantress has disrupted a few games with her card-shifting ways. Catapult is a handy way of trashing, while punishing your opponents at the same time. This expansion has other good trashers …
