About the game
What you do in a play session
This expansion brings 500 new cards, focusing on themes like 'trash' (yes, cards you trash that still do something!) and 'upgrade' (cards that become better or that you use to improve others). There are 35 brand-new Kingdom cards, plus the dreaded 'Ruins' cards to spice up opponents' games, and 'Shelters' that replace the starting Estate cards, adding a different touch from the get-go. If you like the idea of cards that do things when trashed or give you advantages for having a lot of junk in your deck, this expansion is for you. Get ready to manage your hand, build your deck strategically, and maybe even do well in this dark and chaotic era. Remember, Dominion: Dark Ages is not a standalone game, so grab the base game and dive into this new adventure!
