Description of Dominion Intrigue Rules:

Dominion Intrigue expands upon Dominion by adding new cards and thus more possible card combinations. If you didn’t read it you can find my review of the Dominion game here. This review will show some of the differences between the two games and highlight some of the new things introduced in Dominion Intrigue.
Dominion Intrigue has the same gameplay as Dominion and is still very easy to teach and learn. The new cards in Intrigue offer more options per card. A few say choose option one, two or three. Others may let you gain a card and based on the type of card you gain, you’ll add either a buy, a card or a treasure. These increased decisions can slow the game down a little, but usually the difference is negligible.

The pieces involve Obama-friendly Italian leftists, Dominion Voting Systems, and satellite communications capabilities within the Italian military-industrial complex. The story is so potentially explosive, it might even pave the way to compel the US House and Senate to set aside even a January 6 th rubber stamp of the Electoral College vote for. Jan 01, 2009 Dominion: Intrigue is an expansion set for the original Dominion by Rio Grande Games. In Dominion, you assume the role of a monarch who desperately wants to expand his empire. Unfortunately, you are not the only monarch with expansion on his mind and soon you are vying for fiefs, freeholds and feodums as you attempt to unit them under your banner. Intrigue is the second game in the Dominion series and the first expansion to the Base Game, although it can be played stand alone. You need the Base Game or Intrigue to play Dominion since they provide the Basic Cards.

The major difference in the cards is that now there are action-victory and treasure-victory cards. These cards allow you to earn victory points but not clog up your deck as they can serve other purposes. This is a nice upgrade and allows you to buy victory points anytime, not just the mid to late game.

A Quick Review of Dominion Intrigue:

I have been enjoying playing Dominion a lot recently and for my birthday my wife got me Dominion Intrigue. First being able to expand the game to six players is awesome. The new cards with dual uses are a nice change and having more options for cards in the supply is fantastic. Honestly I cannot think of any negatives about this expansion if you are already playing and enjoying the base Dominion game.
