Dominion (2nd Edition)

Build your kingdom and outwit opponents with “Dominion (2nd Edition)”—the classic deck-building strategy game that defined the genre with rich strategic depth and endless replay potential.

Dominate the supply to craft the most efficient deck—buy treasures, actions, and victory cards while adapting your strategy based on your rivals’ moves and the ever-changing card set.

How the Game Works

Each player starts with a small deck of basic Treasures and Victory cards. On your turn, play Treasure cards, then use coins to buy new cards from a shared supply. These go into your discard pile and eventually into your deck as you reshuffle.

Action cards unlock powerful abilities—such as drawing additional cards, playing extra actions, or affecting opponents—creating fast-evolving strategies with every reshuffle until the game ends and the most Victory Points wins.
