Dominion - The Dark Ages

Publisher: Ystari Games

Version french

Times have been tough. To save money, you've moved from your old castle to a luxurious ravine.

You didn't like this castle anyway; It was always plundered, and never at a reasonable hour.

And if it wasn't barbarians, it was the plague, or sometimes both, and there weren't enough chairs.

The ravine is awesome; You have plenty of sun, and you can drop off the garbage wherever you want.

In your free time, you started begging.

Begging is a brilliant idea, but difficult to put into practice, because no one has any money.

You ask the villagers for twigs, and they ask for them again, but no one really seems to get away with it.

That's how life is sometimes.

You're quietly conquering people, minding your own business, when suddenly there's a plague, or barbarians, or everybody's illiterate, and that's all you can do to hold on to a wreck while the storm passes.

Still, you're sure, as always, that you'll triumph over this adversity, or at least do a little better than everyone else.

In Dominion, each player starts with a small deck of identical cards.

In the center of the table is a selection of other cards that players can "buy" as and when they can afford it.

Through their selection of cards to buy, and the way they play their hands, players build their deck on the fly, striving to find the most efficient path to the precious victory points at the end of the game.

This is the eighth title in the Dominion series. Dominion - Age of Darkness adds 35 new Kingdom cards, including new cards to harm your opponents (the Ruin cards) and cards to replace the starting domains (the Refuge cards).

At the heart of this expansion are new mechanics: turning one card into another, discarding cards to trigger different effects, and recovering previously discarded cards.

Expansion for Dominion and Dominion - The Plot. Requires one of the two to use.
