Dominion (1)

What you see above is my very own dominion box. It contains, all in one box, Original, Intrigue, Seaside, Alchemy, Prosperity, and Cornucopia. Every card is sleeved, perfectly sorted, and easily retrieved and returned. The box is also very easy to transport and weighs about as much as a Fantasy Flight game filled with minis. HB and HL are super proud of this creation.

Okay. Onto my first post about Dominion (HB's favorite game of all time). The Game consisted of kingdom cards from Alchemy and Original. A very friendly set of cards that would probably end with all the provinces being bought up, and to noone's surprise that is how it ended. We had Smithy, Festival, Golem, Alchemist, Transmute, Cellar, Herbalist, ... very friendly cards. We only used one attack card, Militia, which isn't even that mean since half of its affect is money for the user. HB employed mainly a smithy and money strategy. If he had 3 - silver, 4 - smithy, 5 - smithy or festival, 6 or 7- gold, 8 or more province. HL used the potions. She picked up golems and alchemists, along with a couple festivals, smithys, and militias. She actually used a little of everything. HB's strategy worked well early allowing him to get into the lead. But later, the deck didn't have that many +actions. Drawing 3 smithys in one hand can really hurt. HLs strategy started to shine later. Alc, golem, and festival allowed her to get the cards she needed and gave her extra buys. However, her late game push fell short even though both players picked up 6 provinces each. Final score 51 - 45, HB.
