## Description
Dominion: Intrigue – Update Pack is a tidy supplement that brings the seven kingdom cards from the second edition of Dominion: Intrigue to owners of the first edition. Instead of repurchasing the whole game, you swap out the old cards for Lurker, Diplomat, Mill, Secret Passage, Courtier, Patrol and Replace, keeping everything you already love about Dominion. To use the pack, simply remove the cards being replaced – Secret Chamber, Great Hall, Coppersmith, Scout, Saboteur and Tribute – and slot the new ones into the same spots. The rest of the game stays exactly as before, so there’s no extra learning curve. The fresh cards add subtle twists to flow and interaction, like Lurker letting you peek at an opponent’s deck top, or Diplomat enabling card trades between players, adding a dash of negotiation. Since the core deck‑building mechanic remains unchanged, seasoned Dominion players will feel right at home while still discovering new combos to experiment with. The pack is compact, fits in any Dominion box, and works for 2‑4 players, preserving the classic 30‑minute playtime. Its low weight (2.1/5) signals that complexity doesn’t rise, making it a great way to refresh the experience without over‑complicating. In short, it’s the perfect solution for updating your Dominion without breaking the bank, delivering subtle new options that keep games lively and fun.
