I played Dominion last weekend for the first time in a very long while. The concepts started coming back to me after a while, but not in time to keep me in competition VP-wise.
It’s one of those games that’s fun and manageable and then they went and printed a bazillion expansions. So just when you think you’ve learned a competent strategy, new cards or mechanics are sure to have you staring like a deer in the lights. Lots of fun, and good for new players and old alike. But the set-up time is always more than you think, so factor that into scheduling. On the other hand, once the cards are out you’re likely to play a second game.
