You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small 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! To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury, all the while preventing competing monarchs from infringing on your rightful domain! This Second Edition of Donald X. Vaccarino's multi-award winning signature series, Dominion, features six new types of Kingdom cards, new box and card art, as well as updated and revised rules and card text.
