Dominion expansions

Seaside vs Prosperity

Short answer: buy Seaside first. The set most guides name as the best first expansion. Duration cards add planning without much extra rules.

Pick Prosperity first instead if this sounds more like your table: One of the most-picked favorites in a 2023 r/dominion player survey and a top-three pick in guides. Big money and Colonies make games feel bigger.
