I have Dominion, Alchemy, Intrique, and Seaside all, so I'm only missing one expansion. I came up with an idea how to randomize the deck but still have it stay playable. Anyone that has combined all these knows that you can end up with some combo's of cards that just don't make sense and have nor purpose. Instead now I do a partial random, partial picked card kinda thing. For an example in a 3 player game: Deal out 4 cards to the table for a base set and then 10 more cards to each player, setting the rest aside. Each player then picks 2 cards and places them face down on the table, putting the other 8 away based off the original 4 cards. Now you have your 10 cards that are still random but much more likely to be useable together. Of course this can change to tastes, could do more random with 7 cards on the table and each player just picks 1, or however you want to do it.
Also with original plus Intrique you can realisticly play 8 players on one table even though the book says 6. Just add 1 more draw pile for each player over 4, also add 1 more to be depleated for every 2 people. Adding Seaside and/or alchemy you can even really go up to 10 people as long as you make sure that some of the extra cards are different types of victory points. In this case I would drop the rule about running out of Provence cards ending the game, just treat them like normal supply cards.
Finally since I have all of these, I change everything so I have everything in alphabetical order and in just the 3 big boxes. I use the Alchemy box just for the randomizer cards and Seaside place mats. Anyone that has that set probably had the same problem about storing those that I did and this solved that problem for me.
Dominion is a great game, Probably now my 4th favorite.
