Dominion Board Game Review

 One of the most enjoyable games that I've played has been Dominion.  Dominion is a deck building game where you try to build your deck so that you can purchase more points than your opponents.  There are a lot of different cards that you can purchase that can help you in this pursuit.  

Every game has the possibility to be different as there are lots of different cards that you can have for a single game.  This makes it so that you have to strategize according to which cards are available in your particular game.  I really like this game because there are multiple ending scenarios that you can attempt.  The best thing to do is to purposefully end the game when you are ahead, but it can be quite risky to do so because somebody could trigger a certain scenario before you can, or get points faster than you were expecting. 

This game is also good for me personally because even though I cant read the card descriptions, there are distinct pictures on every card. If you have a good memory like me, you can just memorize what each individual card does.  Even if you cant remember, you could always ask another player what a specific card does, without necessarily revealing your strategy.  All of the cards in the game are always face up, so there is no need for secrecy.  

The game ends when three of the piles of cards available have been depleted, or whenever someone takes all of the point cards.  The game times vary, depending on who you are playing with and what specific cards are in play.  The speed at which the players take their turns also come into account.  You earn points by buying the point cards. All card that you purchase remain in your deck, so you have to time your point purchases carefully otherwise you they might fill your deck and block you from doing things later on.  

Overall, I found that this game is very doable for someone who cant read such as myself.  I found this game to be accessible to those with motor skill handicaps as well.  The game is recommended with about 4 players.  I would highly recommend this game to anybody that likes strategy games, and plays competitively.  This game almost never gets boring.
