About the game

What you do in a play session

Autumn has arrived in Dominion, and with it, the fifth expansion, Cornucopia! Forget the summer heat, because now it's time for the harvest and medieval festivities. This little gem adds 13 new Kingdom cards and 5 unique cards that bring a fresh theme to your favorite deck-building game. The main hook here is *variety*. You know that strategy of focusing on one type of card? Maybe it's time to mix things up, because Cornucopia rewards those with a diverse deck, hand, or cards in play. Think of cards that help you shuffle your deck, others that give you an extra boost if your hand is colorful, and so on. It's an expansion that encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and try new combinations, while maintaining the essence of Dominion: buying cards, building your engine, and accumulating victory points. Don't expect basic treasure or victory cards here; the focus is entirely on the new mechanics and the interactions they create. If you already enjoy Dominion and want a breath of fresh air that changes how you think about your deck, Cornucopia is a sure bet to spice up your games. Get ready to celebrate diversity in your kingdom!
