Re: Dominion.

I played my first game of this today and it was a lot of fun. I played it with my brother-in-law and his 2 kids ages 13 and 9 and they both picked it up within the first 3 rounds. I love that it has such a great replay ability aspect with only using 10 out of the 25 different supply cards at one time.

Re: Dominion.

I played this a couple of times recently, and I got it for Christmas from my Boardgamegeek Secret Santa. Great game!

Re: Dominion.

Just got this for Christmas, and can't wait to get my first game in. I'm hoping tomorrow might just be that day. Crossing my fingers.

Re: Dominion.

Just don't forget that there is one of each card that is a "placeholder" card with a slightly different back (it has a blue stripe around the outside) which are not used in the game itself.

Re: Dominion.

I'll add my praises for the game. Got it for Christmas. Easy to learn, quick to teach, and lots of fun. I played with my son yesterday and he really enjoyed it, and that's saying something as I have a very hard time pulling him away from the video games. We actually played twice! He beat me the first game and I managed a victory in the second. It was fun watching him get into throwing down combinations of action cards with no coaching at all.

My wife likes card games so I am hoping to get her hooked. I haven't played yet with my youngest son, but it seems like he will be able to handle it.

Thanks for the tip about the place holder card. I knew that one of each of the kingdom cards needed to be left out of the game, but I hadn't noticed the variation on the back.

Re: Dominion.

In case anyone didn't know, there will be a new card available through BoardGameGeek.com. I'll try to remember to post a direct link once the Geek's back up.

Re: Dominion.

Sure enough, my wife loves this game. It's nice to actually have her ask me if I want to play a game. I have no idea many games we've played so far, but we have been playing about 4 times a week, and each session will include at least 6 games. On a cost per number of plays basis, this was my best game purchase of all time!

The down side is that I have not yet been able to get her to try Agricola.

Re: Dominion.

Did anyone else pre-order the new Dominion cards from BGG? They should hopefully arrive in the next week or two. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

Oh, and EJ, my wife has now played Agricola and she likes it. I hope that does not negatively impact your opinion of her.
