You make a great point about sleeves, not sure where ingehacktack is finding them at that price but at the price I have to pay for sleeves around here I could purchase a new copy of Dominion and just keep the box sealed.

@jerseyj2 I know around here you can get what they call penny sleeves at Wal-Mart for $1 in packs of 100 (Thus - Penny sleeves). But I did that to one of my games, and they stick together so much it made the game very annoying to play. The more expensive ones don't seem to have that problem. Especially if you got the ones that have a solid color "plastic" backing. But premium sleeves require a premium price.

"hole to stick your parts in" ill admit, i chuckled

we play with 5 players by adding 2 more kingdom cards to the supply, and ending the game when any 4 piles are depleted. or when the 6 and 3pt. green cards are depleted. in fact, with 24 estate cards, there's no reason why 8 people can't play, you just might not want to.

@SaberGeekiN Hmm..never thought to check Walmart but they sound frustrating. What are your thoughts on lamination? I'm pretty new to the living card game genre so please forgive me if my questions seem obvious lol.

I'd say just put the ones you buy in sleeves, I bought 100 pack once for like 3$, If iI buy another one I have 200, Then the ones experiencing shuffling each game are also the ones protected, game lifetime increased :)

I like this review.

It's important to note that the instruction booklet has very specific information about each card and what happens when weird circumstances arise. For example, when the witch is used in a game with more than two players and too few curses remain to dole them out, the curses go first to the person to the left of the dealer. Little tips like that.

For the most part, the instruction book is worthless, but in those situations, it is absolutely not.

If he picked up a 6 point card every 2 turns, and you picked up two 3 point cards every turn, you would have 12 every 2turns and therefore would of won :P

Great review! I'm going to buy it and convince my peers to play this game! I gotta help my friends to branch off to new games besides monopoly, chess, checkers, etc (the common board games). Like you said, from the little demo you played too, it seems like a game where newcomers can easily get into.

Plus, it doesn't seem like a collectible trading card game, which is a plus. Since everyone starts at the same situation as you. It all determines on 1/3 luck, and 2/3 strategy.

Again, good review!

Awesome review. Especially the min/max point, having never played it myself, that was a good point to consider.
