- Our take
- A favorite of many experienced players, but it is one of the more complex sets. Get it after a few others.
- What it adds
- Debt costs, split piles, Landmarks that change scoring, and Events.
- What you need first
- Dominion (base game)
- Empires
You need basic Treasure and Victory cards from the Dominion base game or the separate Base Cards set.
Dominion · Expansion
Empires
Depends on your group#7 in our Dominion buy order
