Dominion: Intrigue 2nd Edition Expansion Board Game

My family and I are big Dominion fans, and over the years we've created our own substitutes for some of the weaker cards. Here, at last, Donald X. and his merry crew have given us a bigger, better, bolder set of Intrigue cards. The seven new Action cards are a lot of fun to play. They are the flexible Courtier (cost $5), the strong but tricky Diplomat (cost $4), the strategic Lurker (cost $2), the handy Mill (cost $4), the much-better-than-Smithy Patrol (cost $5), the much-better-than-Remodel Replace (cost $5), and the sneaky Secret Passage (cost $4). I'm sure we'll discover more interactions between them and other expansions as we go along. One thing to beware of: the product description of this 2nd Edition Intrigue clearly states, "This game adds 25 new Kingdom cards and a complete set of treasure and victory cards," but I didn't receive any new Treasure or Victory cards, and the previous reviewer seems to have experienced the same. The original Intrigue had all the Treasure and Victory cards, and this set stated it did as well, so imagine my frustration when I paid full price for this. The bullet points do explain that it's not a complete game, but that contradicts the description and the elements of the first edition Intrigue--and you'd think the 2nd would have everything and plus some. Regardless, I love the new cards, and we will enjoy incorporating them into our games and strategies for months to come. Intrigue was in the middle of the pack for me, with expansions such as Seaside, Dark Ages, and Empires being my faves, but these new cards add enough fun to push Intrigue back into my top tier of Dominion expansions.

We love dominion and have several expansion sets now. Be aware that this set doesn't have the base cards, so you either need to have a copy of the original dominion game or else you need to buy the set of base cards. This is a strategy game that allows for a lot of variation in game play. I play with my kids a lot and this is one of their favorite sets. There are some interesting new attack cards and most cards provide different options, which seems to be the theme of this set. Highly recommended! For example the "pawn" card says: Choose two: +1 Card; +1 Action; +1 Buy; +$1. The choices must be different.

Excellent game, high quality copy!

Excellent expansion, includes combo cards which double as money/victory point and victory point/action, and things like that. More option cards (do this or that, or choose two of these) which allows for more in-depth strategic gameplay. NOT A STANDALONE GAME (From what I gather, 1st edition Intrigue was a standalone game, but 2nd edition is not. Be sure you already have Dominion!) Dominion: 2nd Edition Board Game

I'm a big fan of Dominion but never owned it myself. Then I moved across the country and wanted to get back into it. I bought the base game but after playing with all the expansions for so many years, it seemed a little lifeless. Intrigue is a great expansion! Probably not my favorite, but the theme of cards that force you to make choices is a simple way to expand on the strategy. I was teaching new players how to play this, so why go all out on expansions that add new rules, mats, or currencies? Keep it simple to start with. I like nearly all the changes in 2nd edition. The cards that they added are better than the ones that they replaced. My one complaint is that they removed the base cards from this expansion, so it no longer can serve as a base game on its own, or (more importantly to me) give you enough cards to do a 5-6 player game. Gotta buy the separate base cards for that now. Alas, they are a company trying to make a buck, after all. I won't dock it a start just for that though; it was always intended to be an expansion anyway.

I do declare that Dominion: Intrigue Second Edition hath proven itself a most excellent and welcome inclusion unto the burgeoning array of expansions gracing mine Dominion treasury. Though it doth bear the mark of age, yet it doth not falter in delivering unto the table a plethora of singular cards, each endowed with the power to infuse every game with heightened intrigue. Mine heart doth hold a special fondness for the trio of victory cards found within this expansion, each endowed with the unique distinction of possessing dual natures. I must opine that this expansion, while not descending to the depths of being deemed the most inferior, neither doth it ascend to the zenith of being pronounced the utmost superlative.

Love the expansion game, however, this one did not have the card sorting board to know where cards go and the cards we received as part of this brand new game did not line up with the manual. Not sure what happened or how to get what is missing from our game. {Orginal post I gave 3 stars due to the wrong cards being in our game. I contacted the manufacturer & they sent the missing cards to us, free of charge and promptly. Changed the rating to 4 stars, because of their commitment to fixing the problem.}

We own Dominion and the Seaside Expansion. We added this one in next and are loving the new play that it brings. There's a lot in this one that gives players more ways to get victory points, including some cards that are both victory cards AND currency or an action.

New in box game, no issues

La expansión está increíble, se disfruta más el juego en general cuando tienes expansiones. "Intrigue" tiene cartas muy interesantes, además de que le da ese impulso a los puntos de victoria que el juego base no tiene tan desarrollado. En general el paquete llegó en buenas condiciones, se manejó con bastante cuidado.

陰謀 第2版(英語版)。まだプレミア付く前で日本語版よりかなり安かったので購入。 アメリカの倉庫からの発送なので、時間がかかります。到着予定を過ぎても来なかったのは全然いいのだけど、遅くなるとか連絡もらえるとより安心できたかなと。 とはいえ、無事到着し、状態も良好です。また機会あれば利用したいです。

En anglais !!!! Et il n'est noté nulle part ! Pour le prix, c'est honteux

Die version ist auf englisch, was aber mMn die beschreibungen der Karten klarer erklärt. Intrigue ist eine simple aber doch tolle erweiterung zu Dominion. Keine neuen Konzepte kommen hinzu, aber die Karten bringen doch große abwechslung zum Standard spiel.
