    I'm always ready for more Dominion. However, my storage solution is never ready for more Dominion.

      Oy vey. Don't get me started, half the reason why I haven't gotten the last several expansions is precisely because of this reason.

    My wife's favorite game is Dominion and high up for me. It's so easy to randomize kingdom piles and it changes the feel of the game. We're still a couple expansions behind (trying to pace it out). I'm glad I got the biggest card box I could get!

    I'm on the fence about the number of lute cards. I think Bard and Wandering Minstrel might be enough for me.

    "Command cards are action cards, that can play other cards without altering the physical state of the game."
    In the 2019 errata these cards were given the "Command" type:
    List of Commands
    Band of Misfits, Overlord and Captain (revised versions) play a card from the supply.
    Prince (revised version) plays a set-aside card at the start of each turn.
    Inheritance (revised version) causes Estates to become Command cards, that play a set-aside card.
    Flagship replays the next played card.

    Been playing the digital version since launch and I absolutely love it. I then bought the physical copy of Seaside and Plunder which are the only two physical expansions I own.
    Can't wait to play in person.

  • @NESComplex

    I felt the same about the complexity of the cards being the right way to go with Dominion, but a little much for beginners. It's a perfect follow up to Seaside and Prosperity 2nd editions. My guess is that Plunder is the overflow of all the card ideas that could have been part of those 2nd editions.

    Dominion is by far my favourate game. I play the dutch version which has, and please look this up, a way better box than the original version since the word "dominion" is actually legible ;) I also really like that Chris joined the dominion reviews. The discussions between you are really beneficial to the quality of the videos!

    Wow, I'm a bit surprised at the high ratings. I love Dominion, but in my (somewhat limited) plays of the on-line game using Plunder cards, it seems to me that the loot cards just unbalance things. If there's a card that gains them in the game, then it's absolutely necessary that you buy one or two of those; and then once you get a few Loot cards, the game accelerates so much, and is strictly focussed on them. Also, it seems to me that a Plunder-only card could have an overwhelming number of Duration cards. I love Dominion, but I'm a bit cool on this set so far.

    Loot is powerful. I own this on Steam and if yu get an early collection of these it's lights out for your opponents. Quarter Master is OP... Wealthy Village, Long Ship and Siren are cool. Lots of good cards in this game. Took several plays for me to appreciate it. I give it a 7 out of 10. Great video guys.

    Ok, for the last time, neither Rio Grande Games nor Donald X. ever said Dominion was done. That’s some groupthink that’s been perpetuated for years (in large part by you, Tom Vasel!) but it’s never been true.
    Glad you love Plunder! I’m also a fan of Loot.

    Chris, the optic nerve is only sensory, not motor. Eye movements are controlled by the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves. Presumably, these are lacking in the gentleman on the Dominion: Plunder cover.

      It's the lack of an optic nerve that allows the eye to rotate unnaturally far. So he was saying the nerve was restricting the movement, not causing it.

    • @StevenStJohn-kj9eb
      @StevenStJohn-kj9eb 2 роки тому

      @@patharty7507 Ah. Then the error was in presuming that the optic nerve restricts movement, as if it tethers the eye in place. The eye is held in place by a number of ocular muscles. If the tendons of a number of these muscles were destroyed, then the eye might have more freedom of rotation (though that begs the question of which muscles could execute the rotation if they lack tendons).

    I really think dominion expansions keep getting better. I sold my dominion expansions and was going to re-buy seaside and I didn't because I didn't like most of the cards. The last four expansions feel so much more refined than the previous ones.
