Dominion - 2nd Edition (English)

You are a monarch, just like your parents before you, a ruler over a small pleasant kingdom with rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hope... And even dreams! You want a larger kingdom, more pleasant, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a dominion!

In all directions, there are fields, free areas, and fodder. All are small pieces of land controlled by petty lords who are heading towards anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people and unite them under your banner.

But wait! There must be something in the air. Several other monarchs have gotten the exact same idea. You must hurry to grab as much land as possible and fend off your opponents along the way. To do this, you need to hire henchmen, build buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill your treasury. Your parents would not be proud... But your grandparents on your mother's side, they would be happy.

How to play Dominion:

In Dominion, you have three phases to go through every time it's your turn: A, B, and C. Action, Buy, and Cleanup.

• Action, In the action phase, you may play one action card from your hand onto the table.
• Buy, In the buy phase, you may use the money you have in your hand to buy new cards from The Supply.
• Clean-up, In the clean-up phase, you discard any unused cards from your hand into your trash pile and remove old cards that may be in front of you from the action or buy phases.
  

When three of the stacks in The Supply are depleted, the game ends, and everyone counts their victory points together. The one with the most points wins.
