Just about every time I met up with ChattyDM and his merry group of gamers, we end up playing a game of Dominion.
I've taken an instant liking to this game and ended up buying it for myself during the holidays.
The game is what I would call a "Deck Building" card game - even though I wrote board game it the title.
Three core concepts/ideas make it stand out to me:
- Everybody starts with the same cards (everybody has access to the same pool of cards)
- The cards that enable you to win the game serve no purpose during the game
- The pool of available cards can vary from one game to another
