Product Description
Dominion: 2nd Edition is an improvement over the classic Dominion. Upgraded covers and cards make it more interesting and fun to play. This new version has streamlined rules and amended card text to eliminate confusion. You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams. You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion. In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodum. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner. But wait. It must be something in the air, several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents, would be delighted.

You want a Dominion!
You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes... dreams! You want a bigger kingdom, more pleasant, with more rivers, and a wider variety of trees.
This is a game of building a deck of cards
The deck contains your resources, victory points, and the things you can do. It starts out a small sad collection of Estates and Coppers, but you hope that by the end of the game it will be brimming with Gold, Provinces, and the inhabitants and structures of your kingdom.
A Quick Glance
- Tactical game for 2-4 Players
- 30 minute playing time
- Ages 13 and up
Six cards were replaced and one added compared to the first edition. The base cards have art now, and the trash has a mat.

Dominion effortlessly combines strategy, excitement, and competition. The gameplay mechanics are engaging yet easy to grasp, making it accessible for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. The variety of cards and the ever-shifting dynamics keep each round fresh and exhilarating.
As a result of this fantastic game night experience, I wholeheartedly believe that Dominion serves as the perfect gift for fellow game lovers or an invaluable addition to one's own collection. The 2nd Edition by Rio Grande Games maintains the high standards set by its predecessor, ensuring hours of entertainment and strategic fun.
I’ve bought this game over the past 10 years at least 15 times or more. I always bring this game with me to party’s / group gatherings and teach anyone who listens. I’m in the armed services so I travel a lot and in turn I’ve shown this game to a great number of people.
This game has SO MUCH replay ability, each game is different! And if you are wanting to; there are many expansion packs to choose from.
I will continue to purchase this game and teach others how to play.
A huge thank you to the creators. This game has been monumental in my life growing up. My family and close friends think back fondly to the times we’ve spent with this game.
