Dominion Card Game

Dominion is a deck-building card game created by Donald X. Vaccarino and published by Rio Grande Games. Each player uses a separate deck of cards and draw their hands from their own decks, not those of others. Players use the cards in their hands to either perform actions or buy select cards from a common pool of card stacks.

In Dominion, each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can 'buy' as they can afford them.

Quite a while ago, I converted my base Dominion box into a storage solution for the base game + 3 expansions plus extra materials. In the process, I wrote a Python script (get the source here) to generate pdfs of the dividers that I used. I then published those pdfs to BoardGameGeek and since then have improved them due to feedback numerous times. However, people keep putting in requests for special versions (with cropmarks, for different sets, etc.) and the file I publish keeps getting bigger and bigger due to including all version. So, instead of growing the number of versions, I've decided to try putting the script behind the web form on the left so those interested can generate their own versions. Others have also taken my source and changed it if you are looking for different things.

Please note issues and requests on github, talk to fellow users in this thread, or contact me via BGG mail. You can also thumb the thread or the original file thread if you like these dividers, or even better post pictures of how you used them - I'm always curious.

If you would like to contribute, the code for the generator is available on github. A huge thank you to all the people who have contributed to this, especially wvoigt (bgg/github) and nickv2002 (bgg/github) without whom I would have no chance to stay up-to-date with this project.

After having read and heard about Dominion for a long time, we’ve been anxious to pick up a copy for ourselves for a while. So with such high expectations riding on it, how does Dominion stand up as a family game?

In our family video review Jaden tells what he thinks of Dominion and gives you a taste of how it plays. With such a wide variety of cards and options he doesn’t cover everything, but you should be able to tell if Dominion would be a good game for your family.

Can the whole family enjoy Dominion?

If they can read and understand the cards, they can play. But will they enjoy it?

As with most games, that depends completely the interest of the people in your family. We can only tell you what our family thinks of it. It’s pretty easy to see from the video review of Dominion that Jaden absolutely loves it. It’s also a big hit with Trevor. And extremely addicting for dad.

Jaden recommends 9 and up in his review. So what about Caleb, our 6 year old? Well, he pulls it out a bunch too. Of course, he seems to forget the name of it and simply calls it Domination. So I’m greeted at the door when I get home from work with “Hey dad, do you want to play Domination? I already have it set up.” When you’re greeted at the door like that, it’s sure hard to say no. (Isn’t dad such a push over.)

And what about daughters?

Unfortunately I can’t answer that question yet. So far our daughter hasn’t given it a try. I’m sure she’ll pull up a chair one of these days. And when she does, we’ll just have to update our review.

How easy is it to learn?

Dominion is really a game like no other. Although we’ve never played a game like it before in our family, we’re sure it won’t be the last of its type. With the success and awards that Dominion has won, we’re sure that there will be many game developers trying to copy the formula (some are already around). Let’s just say that when we first played it at SaltCON, we were glad that someone was there to teach us how to play. Because trying to play from the rules would have taken much longer to understand.

That being said, as you can see in the video review, the basic mechanics of how you play your cards really is simple at the core. But with the wide variety of cards to choose from, getting familiar with the cards is what takes a while to pick up. The good news is that you don’t need to memorize the cards in order to enjoy it. In fact, it’s the wide variety of card options that makes it enjoyable and generates the “let’s play it again” response.

And isn’t that what makes a great family game night – when your kids call out “let’s play it again”?
