Dominion Board game

You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams! You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner. But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn’t be proud, but your grandparents, would be delighted. As well as the Winner of the highly sought after “Spiel des Jahres” (or German Game of the Year 2008) Dominion has also won a few other noteworthty awards, including a The Dice Tower Game game of the Year nomination, 2008 Meeples Choice Award, 2009 Origins Award – Card Game winner, and a Mensa Select winner for 2009.
