About the game
What you do in a play session
Empires brings 300 new cards and 96 metal tokens that add that special touch. The big hook here is the cards you can buy now and pay for later – a true masterstroke for managing your imperial finances. There are also piles with two different cards, which add extra spice when building your deck, and Landmarks that introduce new ways to score, moving away from the traditional. And for those who enjoy them, VP tokens and Events return to give that extra nostalgia and strategy. It's the perfect expansion for those who already love Dominion and want more complexity and tactical options.
