Can anyone please explain to me one simple stupid question that I cannot find anywhere? If mint gives you a copy of a card, does that go into your hand or does it go into the discard? It mentions neither, so I can't see how it's self explanatory. Most people just say "read the card literally" and literally, if it's truly a "copy", it goes directly into your hand. No?
@Khalirei I'm sure the rules that came with the game explain this, but any time you gain a card in Dominion, it goes to your discard pile unless the card says otherwise. Mint is already powerful enough that it can duplicate your golds and platinums while trashing your coppers that if it allowed you to gain the duplicates directly into your hand, it would be pretty broken. Nice try though. ^.^
I've only ever played the original Dominion and I'm looking for an expansion that gives me the option of 6 or 8 players. I've heard "Intrigue" lets you do that, but can I do that with "Prosperity" too, even if I don't have "Intrigue" but just the original set? PLEASE HELP!
Intrigue has the basic cards (treasures and VP) that allows you to play with more than 4. But its not recomended for more than 5 people since waiting time gets too long.
I like to use the bishop. You can use the bishop to turn estates into tokens so you only have money in the beginning of the game. It also gives another token for free.
i like Prosperity very much, but even as Tom mentions, Platinum and and Colony changes the game almost too much. because of these two cards, my favorite expansion remains Seaside. but this one does come in second.
I found the WatchTower to be very versatile. It even gives you a reason not to play it (buy a Platinum, reveal watchtower, put Platinum you gain on top of your deck)
Personally, I don't like "Dominion" - nor "Vasco da Gama", for that matter, he he - but Tom's video reviews are in a class of their own and always fun to watch. Thanks, Tom, for sharing your good humour with us, and keep them coming!
@ LVNAndy: Prosperity is available as of 9/15 at Amazon.com I already ordered it and cannot wait to get it. I have all the Dominion games and love them all. This one looks the best though, with the new twists it brings to the game. Things will really be changed up.
@Milli1337 You should make some reviews on here Milli. I'm sure you'd do a better job and I'd look forward to seeing the improvements in tact and emotion.
Tom are you going to make a Top 10 games of 2010 video at the end of the year? I really enjoyed your Top 100 videos and seeing your top 10 games (Duel of Ages, Descent, Heroscape..etc) I wonder if any new game replaced your top 10 (or 20) games?
How well does it work to mix all the cards from earlier expansions and choose 10 at random? How well does it work to use the new cards without platinum and colonies.
The new expansion looks like fun, but I only want to buy it if the cards that mix well with the cards that I already have without changing too much of the game.
great review Mr. Vasel, i'm a Dominion-addicted, sincerely happy with my Alchemy/Core/Seaside set, but THIS... really ad some spice to the bun. Good job. I'm glad you're back. May i make congratulations for your new offspring, whom i heard is a male. Keep flying and keep reviewed. Good day and good gaming. Nekos
and best

How well does it work to play with a mixture prosperity, seaside, and intrigue but without (platinum and colonies)
How well does it work to play with platinum and colonies.but without intrigue actions and special treassure.
I ask because I like to mix cards from all expansions, and I couldn't do that with alchemy.

@anotherelvis Mixes extremely well. There are some awesome 2-3 card combos you can create with Prosperity and cards from the other expansions.

What am I waiting for? Well, it's not out yet, so that's a factor.
Also, my friends have Dominion, so I don't, so there's not much point to my buying expansions. But mostly it's the its not being out yet thing.

How much is Rio Grande paying you xD?
Seriously, I wouldn't start a review with "THIS IS SO AWESOME. AWESOME. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH."
But I also had the feeling that the cards are new and unique, I definitely look forward playing Dominion: Prosperity.
