“If the $100+ price tags on the expansions scares you, let me just say, it is not at all necessary to buy all of them. The game is played with a random selection of 10 "kingdom" cards, of which there are 26 in the free…”
“This game is a lot of fun, but the first thing you have to do before you play your first game is to ban Chapel. Don't read what it does just ban it.”

“F2P has a daily challenge vs a very good AI. It is nice to use as a short break from work or on the toilet. I do wish the packs went on sale or were cheaper though.”
“Very fun implementation of the card game. Base game is free but you pay for the expansions. Lots of good options for whatever type of game you want to play (multiplayer, bots, specific kingdoms etc.). Works well on a…”

“I hate lazy programing. The AI draws perfect cards, over and over and over and over. They may have plenty of garbage in their deck but they draw just what they need, when they need it. You on the other hand... yeah...…”
“It's a free online version of the card game. Use it to play with people at a distance or to try the card game before buying it. There's really no downside. It's free.”
“dominion is a great card game to play with friends. it's nice that you can practice with ai before dominating your friends and family.”

“Dominion IRL is a slog but digitally it's pretty fun! Much less downtime, you know?”
“A beautiful deck-building game that's actually quite simple, but offers easily understandable strategic depth. Unfortunately, the expansions are never on sale, and if you want them all, they're quite expensive. The game…”

“Dominion has so many possibilities it feels more like a card game engine. It's so incredibly well made, I really feel like there's something for everyone here. The total price to buy all the expansions isn't so bad when…”
“Finest deck-builder ever made. Granddaddy of Slay the Spire, Balatro, Dune Imperium, Clank, etc etc etc. Infinite replayable means I will be playing this game for a long long while to come.”
“Nice little adaptation of a nice little card game. Online matchmaking is fantastic - quick, balanced, not particularly toxic. The interface is visually pleasing and clean enough to understand what's going on. There are…”

“Played this only a few times and holy crap... It's awful. The game is so automatic that there's NOTHING telling you what the opponents are doing. It's infuriating trying to figure it out so you can counter it! I'm…”

“shame it doesn't work on a mac - super annoying”
“The AI cheats its draws, especially when it comes to playing Vassal and Militia. I've seen repeat instances of AI decks with no trashing or draw fixing where every single Vassal play gets an action trigger, and the AI…”

“Somehow an actually fun deckbuilder, however. I appreciate that it's niche I appreciate the base game is free I appreciate only the host needs the expansions but dear god there's so many expansions and they never go on sale 7/10”
— a player, Steam review · 35 hrs played“I mostly play Dominion physically but if you like deckbuilders and have never played Dominion you are now required to. It invented the genre and holds up so well it's still getting expansions.”
