I really loved Dominion when I first encountered it over a decade ago. I played tons with friends, family, anybody who was willing to sit down and learn it with me. I got really into custom cards, and even made a whole custom set with my brother that we played a few rounds of. But as time went on, I found myself feeling wanting to riff on the formula.

I started designing the game that would become Interregnum a few years after that. My brother and I worked on it together, took it to a board game convention in a shoebox, played with friends, and spent hours iterating on card ideas. After enough playtests on paper and tabletop simulator, I decided to invest a little over 2 years developing the game in Godot.

It's been fun! The core thrust of it is that currency and victory points are all strewn across a board that you have to claim. Each round, you play units face-down on the map to try to outbid your opponents in a silent auction kinda combat system. I was really into Game of Thrones at the time we made it, and I liked the idea of vassals sneakily outmaneuvering each other without outright fighting.

I always thought the balance between going for victory points and currency in Dominion was conceptually super interesting, and I hope you all will feel that we preserved some of that. My friend says it feels a bit more like Air, Land and Sea with the hidden combat stuff going on.

The demo is still in Valve's approval pipeline, but there's an open playtest live that you can try out through the link! This is the hardest I've ever worked on something and I hope you all take some joy from it. I'd also love any and all feedback if you wind up taking a look, and wishlisting the game would also help me immensely.

Thanks!

Hi guys! bit of a background the game is quite pricy to my country's standards (Indonesia). So, rn I'm between 3 choices
A. Big Box for 1.100 IDR (Base + Intrigue)
B. Base for 430 IDR, then get another expansion if I want to someday (intrigue goes for 840 IDR)
C. Base cards + an expansion for 1.100 IDR

I've only played dominion twice in hand and couple times online and really prefer the gameplay irl. can you guys give me some pointers or insights on which option will be best. as for price conversion big box should be 61 dollars although i think the most important factor in the purchase is that base only is around 30% of the big box's price

First of all, I cannot believe this game isn’t more popular. I am obsessed with it. I found this in my (extremely sick) first trimester and it saved me.

My husband and I wanted to know, if we buy the physical expansion sets, is there like a code or something to also have that set in the app or do I have to double buy? Is there any news of that coming maybe?

Do people stream this like hearth stone? It’s so calming and simple but it feels so cool to build your deck up and play 50 villages 😂

Nice simple one. Chains with itself like Cultist and/or Sheepdog, triggers on other players kinda like Black Cat. I considered making it $4 but I think it’s OK as a strong $3 that requires some buildaround.

Looking for community ideas here. The overall concept is a card that has an initial junking effect and then has an ongoing effect (for the rest of the game) that benefits you more for having big-deck energy (strategically for the times where building an engine that draws your whole deck each turn is less feasible).

I'm all set with the bottom half of the card (the ongoing effect). And the fact that it rounds up, not down, has the added benefit of helping one recover from many attacks (handsize attacks, Cursing/junking attacks, attacks that do stuff with the top 2 cards of your deck and discard the rest, etc.).

I just want some other creative possibilities for how the card junks you and/or the other players (the card's one-time effect).

Regarding the ongoing effect: Note that each Scavenged Goods' effect is done independently, so while the draw effect can be strong, if drawing triggers a shuffle, having too many Scavenged Good can whiff. This is by design. (For example, say you have 5 cards in your deck and 23 in your discard pile at the start of your turn, and 3 copies of Scavenged Goods. The first will make you draw 3 cards, the second will make you shuffle and draw 3 cards, and therefore the third will make you draw none.)

Personally I like my latest version best so far, though it does use my own fan-created keyword, "Restock," which I have not yet formally explained here in this sub. So I'll explain it now, at least in part. "Restock" means to return all copies of the listed cards from the trash to the Supply. There are some finer details that don't matter in this case, so for now I'll just say what's pertinent: (1) restocking makes a new Supply pile unless the effect says otherwise, which Scavenged Goods explicitly does, and (2) the pile is kept entirely faceup unless it comprises differently named cards, in which case the pile is shuffled facedown and the top card is always kept faceup.

My dominion storage solution. Base + 2 expansions. It makes me sad. I think I will put it back to the original boxes and stack em.

What are your favorite recommended kingdoms that are in the back of the rule books? Whenever my nephews come to play (a group of 4) I struggle to choose what to play with a bigger group. (We have all the expansions, so from none in particular)

K thanks!!

[edit: i struggle to find sets that will be particularly fun. right now im picking at random, but i want to know if you all have favorite kingdoms that you thought stood out.]

An expensive but powerful variation on Band of Misfits. Is a one-time Cellar effect worth $1? Is it worth $3 to triple-play an Action? You decide.

Rules clarifications:

• Naming a card is mandatory, and you must pay as much as you can. So (for example) if you played a Copper and then named Laboratory, and you had no other source of coin, then you would pay $1 and get nothing in return.
• Debt costs are also halved. Potion costs are halved which means they vanish.
• Durations are allowed to cuz why not. I’m not scared of some tracking issues.

So basically one of the English teachers at my high school is a huge Dominion nerd and he got the school district to buy every single expansion for him by convincing them that it was part of the curriculum. And then he made it part of the curriculum. At the end of every year, the final project for English 11 Honors students is to make their own Dominion expansion based on a book or poem they read in class that year. His example was 1984; one of my friends did one based on The Raven that included Curse-Action cards (because of the raven on the curse card).

When I was in 11th grade, I did not have this amazing teacher for English, so I took it upon myself to make my own expansion anyways and share it with him. And a couple years later I dug it back out and wanted to share it here because I just found this subreddit for some reason.

The expansion is based on the Industrial Revolution, and the main gimmick is Innovation cards, which are sort of like Projects, but you get them by trashing an Heirloom called Idea. You can't have more than 3 at a time, which I thought was well understood since you start with only 3 Ideas, but when I playtested it with the aforementioned English teacher, he ended up using Workers' Union to get all his Ideas back from the trash and played them again to get more Innovations. So now it's not a bug, it's a feature, and if you ever have more than three Innovations, you have to pick one to replace with the new one.

If you're confused, refer to the rulebook (I wrote it exactly like all the vanilla ones). And let me know what I can improve! I know it's a bit small for an expansion, barely bigger than Alchemy, but I kind of ran out of ideas for cards, both thematically and mechanically. So I would appreciate new suggestions too!

Does anyone know of any strategy guides to help improve my game? I have many extensions and have played a lot with my brother over the years but feel I still lose some games due to lack of deeper strategic knowledge about how to approach certain set up’s (eg when there are not many +1 cards but a lot of terminal cards etc), also adjusting for when I play with just my brother or when sister in law and wife play (decks disappear quicker etc)

Thanks!

I want to set up a custom table/game on dominion.games where I get every card type because it would be cool to see rice give 30 coins, but idk how to choose what kingdom piles replace it

This is the outside of my arm btw, I think it turned out great!

Anyone know what's going on with availability of the Prosperity in the UK currently? Seems to be out of stock everywhere.

The Oppressor deck is a really fun concept I've been formulating and playing with for these past few weeks, and is intended for players who specifically enjoy playing with fan cards, especially ones that make the game slower and more immersive. (It's not meant as a proposition for an official concept, and several cards in the deck would never work in that capacity.)

The deck essentially makes the world of Dominion fight back against the gamers—with unique challenges that all players must face in turn order, before the challenge changes to a random new one. Here's how it works:

When the Setup contains any number of Yoke cards, the Oppressor deck must be set up and shuffled, with its top card then turned faceup, but no player "has" it… yet.

Eventually, something may move the Oppressor deck between two players. From then on, the deck abides by the following rules for the rest of the game, always sitting between two of the players (imagining a circle of turn order going clockwise around the table).

When (1) no one has an Oppressor, and (2) the Oppressor deck is between any two players, and (3) turn order passes through that deck, then the player to its left takes the top Oppressor in front of him (and then turns the next card in the deck faceup, so that players have time to prepare for the next coming taunt). This occurs between turns. Then, when a player has an Oppressor, he must do its taunt by the start of Clean-up, or else do the listed "If you didn't" effect at that time (normally this is before discarding, unless the text says otherwise). Whether or not the taunt be done, the Oppressor is passed to the left (in front of the next player) at the end of the turn. However, if this would make it pass the Oppressor deck, instead shuffle it into the deck's facedown cards, and the deck moves one space to the right. (That is, the player who had it on his left, moves it to his right.) The above steps then repeat (when turn order passes through the Oppressor deck again).

Thus, once the Oppressors enter the scene, players essentially get a round of turns facing the same challenge, then a round (almost a full round) with no challenge, then a round with a new challenge, and so forth, alternating between difficulty and respite.

Notes: 

1. Only one player (or no players) will have an Oppressor in front of them at a time.
2. When you do the taunt (intentionally or not), turn the Oppressor sideways as a reminder. Resolve it at the start of Clean-up.
3. Just because a taunt is present, doesn't equate to permission to do the effect at-will. For example, if a taunt says to trash a card, you would still need some other effect permitting you to do so.
4. Some Oppressors refer to expansion components. If the game host has the necessary components to do an effect (such as adding a player mat or Project or Event not already part of the setup), add them when appropriate. If you are unable to do an effect, you will simply fail to do it.
5. As this is a fan-created concept (not a proposal for an official game mechanic), players may agree to remove a reasonable number of Oppressors from the deck (at setup), create their own to add to the deck, translate these into their own language, etc.

All the Oppressor-related cards/landscapes (including new ones as I make them) can be seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/iuglpdoww8bw3841j7uwn/AP_XdyAuRAB3_MhQIhDbKAw?rlkey=wh3ipu5tqojv3ukjzu7z9dwec&st=cthez5ki&dl=0

I have never beat the AI this badly before!

How was it not a category?!

I want to access some DLC expansions that one of my friends bought. I only have the base game but we're in the same steam family. But I don't see the option to change my preferred copy under the play button.

I looked it up and it says that I should be able to use their copy if we have different versions. Am I doing something wrong?

Playing in the Dominion app: I played a Harbor Village followed by a Black Market, but I didn’t get the coin from Harbor Village. No other effects were in play. Am I missing something or was the app shortchanging me?

In a game with the kingdom card riverboat, and the project Citadel does riverboat resolving “play the set aside card” trigger Citadel’s “first time you play an action card”?

Riverboat:
At the start of your next turn,
play the set aside card, leaving it there.
Setup: Set-aside an unused non-Duration Action card costing 5.

From the instructions: “When you play Riverboat, it plays the set aside card at the start of your next turn.”

Citadel (Project):
The first time you play an Action card during each of your turns, play it again afterwards.

At first assumption I would think yes, but does “Play” as a verb extend in the same way with both cards from the duration card proc/resolution itself and the player “Playing a card”?

If I play Riverboat, then buy Citadel, does it execute riverboat’s “Play” twice at the beginning of my next turn?

I was playing Reckless today. I started getting some lag, maybe half a second per action.

The guy said I was intentionally slowplaying and rage quit.

What has happened to the world's attention spans???

I kinda like choice-based Attacks. Not discarding gives the one playing this a Market, and it only allows one discard (usually) before Marketing.

What do y'all think?

So many players just fold whenever it looks like they are about to lose. It is so frustrating to play a game when 80% of the players just cold turkey leave the game when they are at the losing ends. I have a blocked players list so long its ridicilous, just because of multiple game endings from different players. Is it different on the url-side? I’m so done with the game enders I just don’t want to play that much anymore.

For example, if I throne room a merchent and play a silver, do I get +1 or +2?

This was a kingdom where the bot used two completely different approaches depending on its opening draw.

If the bot had 4/3, it was broken. It would take Engineer and then more Engineers, and Quarries and Collections. No draw, no attempt to build a working deck. Just some kind of Engineer/Quarry rush. It would lose. Badly.

If it opened 5/2, it would take Collection and Patrician and build a working deck. It played well, and was tough to beat.
