About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey Dominion fans! Get your decks ready, because the Captain Promo Card has arrived, a special card celebrating 10 years of this deck-building classic. Released in 2018 to commemorate a championship in Germany and Austria, this beauty adds an extra layer of strategy without overcomplicating things.
The Captain is an Action-Duration card costing 6 coins. The magic happens now and at the start of your next turn: you can grab a non-Duration Action card from the supply costing up to 4 coins, and it stays there for you to use again. Think of it as a personal 'mini-kingdom' that gives you an extra bonus, allowing for incredible combos or the retrieval of important cards you just used.
This card is perfect for those who already enjoy Dominion and want to spice up their games. It doesn't radically change the game, but it offers new tactical options and can surprise your opponents. Being a promotional card, it might be a bit harder to find, but it's worth it for collectors and the most dedicated fans. The Duration mechanic combined with the ability to grab cards from the supply adds a touch of 'time management' and 'future planning' that veterans will love. It's a small addition, but with the potential for great moments of fun and victory!
