I love this review style and I have no interest in reading the back-log of comments, so I'm just adding my 2 cents here.irondeav wrote:
8. Do not buy this game if you want something with a deeper theme. Despite the names and illustrations, there is no way in the world you will feel anything like a medieval lord trying to become rich and influent before your time runs out.
This point made me laugh because it's true. I really like Dominion (despite my best efforts to the contrary) but this is one of its weaknesses. It would actually be fun to "re-skin" Dominion and make a set of cards with the exact same powers / iconography but different names like "baby hamster twins" or whatever.
Dominion is a game that I really like, despite the hype. I've not caved in and bought a copy for myself yet, even though I can't check off many items from your list...
