No Boots on the Ground,
Puny Mortals!

Dominion is a classic for a reason, but there are so many expansions. Where would one even start? Even the dud expansions offer an interesting card or two, but for my money, the perfect game of Dominon for any playgroup can be built from the 2nd edition Base set, 2nd edition Prosperity, and Renaissance.

For newer players, the Base set is still as enchanting as it was back in 2008, and the Second edition trims dead cards like Woodcutter and Feast for much more playable cards like Bandit and Vassal.

Once players get the feel for the basics, Prosperity is the perfect expansion, as it adds more. You have your gold based strategies, but what about platinum? More victory points, more, more, more!

Finally, for veteran players, Renaissance adds more interaction and new card types that enable new strategies. Artifacts are powerful enablers that cause struggles between players to retain control. Projects, on the other hand, are universal powers that encourage players to build their strategy around. Finally, Villagers and Coffers provide ways to generate explosive turns that don't rely on card draw, allowing a larger variety of strategies to be viable.
