Yes! Please do more of these reviews, they really stir the pot of conversation which, in my opinion, is one of the best things about the comment section.
I just saw a video from Dominating Dominion about Empires, & when they were talking about some of the cards, they talked about combining counterfeit with capital from Empires. And it seems to be a really GREAT combo, because capital will only give you debt if you discard it from play, so if you trash it before discarding it (through the clean up phase or something like that.) then it won’t give you debt since you didn’t discard it, plus, counterfeit will double the value of capital, making it worth 12 COINS!
I really like Dark Ages as well. Trashing cards left and right and constantly changing your deck is a ton of fun for sure!! Keep the reviews coming!! 🙂
I think Spice Merchant from Hinterlands (which is my second favourite expansion) should have been in the Dark Ages/Middle Ages/Medieval Period. About Rats, I would agree with you on it eating your deck, and as I said about Scavenger, I think that there are so many cards from a multi expansion game that makes rats a really good card That +1 card is too powerful in a rats strategy and really makes it one of the best cards in all of Dominion. On the subject of your Earthquake, thematically it still works but I would like to see it be, "The Black Death", which happened historically around the mid-1300s during the reign of Edward III of England in the Hundred Years War. It killed about 1/2 of the population of Europe and destroyed communities, which is why it would work and make sense with ruins. It is famous in Monty Python's Holy Grail with the, "Bring out your dead!" Scene. But on the card itself, It can work okay, it is a little more difficult to pull off the free Earthquake move shown on the card by the +3 cards when trashed is pretty good, considering the other cards that can take cards from trash and add it to your own discard pile (Graverobber). 3:07 and you can still do it with the Black Death, it is simple, you are rewarded for removing the Plague from your village or community and it makes sense that one outbreak would lead to another for free. On Deathcart, it actually was a card I hated until I played a game where I bought one or two and was trashing Rats, Cultists (Earthquake), and the Ruins I gained. It is a pretty good card provided you strike the balance of buying them and gaining ruins. And then we come to Hermit, Hermit is a card I love, it does a lot with just a cheap 3 coins and can do a bit in the early game and when the mid-game comes you discard it for madmen and get monster hands and get 20+ coins. On Iron Monger, yet another card I love and is a favourite for many comp or casual players of the game. It works well with anything but when it shines is cards that are multi-type like treasure-action or victory-action like Tunnel from Hinterlands and so on. It works with any strategy and does great on every level of gameplay. AND YET AGAIN, another amazing card that I think should be nerfed, Squire. I am a believer in the Squire and it is the cheapest way to get 2 buys in one card which is in itself amazing, it can give actions and economy if needed, and it is for this reason that Squire is so versatile and in turn why I love it. In my own opinion, I don't love Bandit Camp, I understand why people love it but I think that I would rather not fill my deck with temp golds. The Altar is a card I agree with, it is a GREAT card to level up and customize your deck and is amazing for that reason. I am getting a little tired of all the cards I can think of but you kind of get the point and can guess with good accuracy what I think about the remaining cards in this great Expansion.
I'm not going to comment on anything else -- since I disagree with almost everything anyway :). I just want to say that Storeroom had absolutely no place as the worst card in the set, since... it's actually one of the best cards in the entire game :D. Yes, it's a quiet card. It's very quiet. It's not an attack, it's not a junker, it doesn't produce Victory Points by itself, well... yes, you can call it boring. But it's a fantastic, cheap utility card which opens the door many great strategic ideas for the middle and the late game. Basically, you can use the cards you've drawn to draw new cards, and then you can turn those drawn cards you can't use (because they are junk, Victory Cards, or simply Action Cards you can't or don't want to use) into money. And you get a buy. This is just what most of your Treasure-less decks want, and these are the best and most fun decks to play.
Did you know that rats is also Donald x vaccarino s favorite card too? Well if you disagree with every card I talked about and Well I do love every card except the last few and So I can only assume you hate the dark ages expansion. And then you pick the one of few cards that doesn’t match well with the expansion you actually like. So what if it’s good. I don’t have to like it just because it’s good. You know if you disagree with everything I say, why do you bother watching my videos? Storeroom had absolutely no place as my bottom of the barrel, really! This is my review not your review. This isn’t someone else’s review either. You know I’ve had it with you, if you’re going to nitpick everything I say about dominion, then I’ll turn off comments, and remember you would be ruining it for everyone else who hasn’t been as negative as you. So knock it off, if i get another negative comment from you that doesn’t have some positivity then I’m turning off comments. And then I’ll make a comment on each video stating the reason why comments are off because of you. You know if you have such an opinion why don’t you make your own videos.
@@Animal_board_gamer You're right. Sorry. I think the smiley was communicating that I was talking half in jest. I don't hate any Dominion expansion and DA is one of my favourites, actually. When I say I disagree with nearly everything you say -- and again: the smiley was trying to make it known that I wasn't talking in all seriousness -- I was thinking mostly about the fact that with some of the cards I would find their value in a different thing that you. This is especially true about Count which is my very favourite card in all Dominion. I'm sorry, I didn't think you would take this difference of opinion so personally. I'm not going to comment on your videos anymore. I still find them cool to watch. They are well made and they are a nice, comfortable way to get an overview of an expansion. So, you're definitely doing a good job. Also, I like to confront what I'm thinking with opinions that are quite different from mine. But you're right -- I'm abusing your comment section by sticking myself in everywhere, so I'll be keeping my thoughts to myself from now on. Sorry again, and all the best with this project!

@@fightingkitchen7960 Yes, definitely. This is one of the tricks of the game. I've read about it, although I never had an occasion to play it myself -- I basically always play random setup kingdoms.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the cards in this expansion. Very helpful information.
If you liked it, you should definitely watch this…
Dominion dark ages is it the best expansion ever? Check it out, it’s some of my best work.
@@Animal_board_gamer Definitely, also I am looking for more information on Ruins cards and how they work.

Ok, this expansion seems interesting. But if I’m ever going to play it, it would still probably be in the digital version though.
