Great video for beginners, but for new players reading this: While this tactic can be good it is not always the right way to go. Especially when you stop only using cards of the base game. The last match I played against someone using this tactic I won because he mainly build a deck trying to draw a lot and bought silver and gold. I instantly went for a attacking deck because there was nothing to defend yourself from attacks. I played a lot of witches and just blocked his entire deck with curses. He managed to buy some provinces but in the end I won with a 20 point gap
It's a nicely made video with some basic principles, but this kind of approach only works in entry-level, Big Money-ish base games. Elite players, for example, don't tend to buy golds that often, and they don't often buy Provinces as soon as they hit 8 (unless there are no plus-buys or other types of gainers). If you employ the approach in this video against an experienced player, you may likely *lose* at Dominion every time!
An important thing is also to look closely at action cards and make sure you play them in correct order, it could get you anywhere from 1 more card drawn to a province. If something looks like it won’t work in one way but will in others, look at it closely
Good beginner thoughts, but there are always exceptions! Keep an eye out for cards that actually utilize copper and estates, in which case you might not want to get rid of them, or in some cases, actually get more!
Thanks for posting the video! Dominion is one of my favorite games. Especially when you start adding expansions. I have some minor "constructive criticism" about your strategy.
"You should always buy a province, no matter how early". This is definitely not true. In most kingdoms you don't want to buy a province before turn seven. If you have eight on turn five, you probably want to buy a gold or a strong action. This is especially true in strong engine kingdoms with Festival. In a festival game the winning player will be buying multiple provinces each turn by the end of the game. Buying a province before your engine is ready will keep you from buying several provinces later in the game. A base set game is usually going to last 18+ turns. You have time to wait.
My other nit pick is that Adventurer isn't in the game anymore! It was phased out in second edition because it was basically always a worse buy than a gold.
Thanks again for the video! If anyone can recommend any other deck building games like Domion, I would love to know!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure I've had a game where I bought two provinces a turn, unless I was playing the prosperity expansion. My experience is the provinces start going very quickly, and you'll have a short window to grab them before they're all gone, but hey, we all have different experiences.
Interesting. I didn't realize Adventurer was phased out. I feel like if you build your deck right, it can often be better than a gold.
Star Realms is a fun two player deck building game.
Thanks for watching!
Yep, they phased out Chancellor, woodcutter, thief, spy, feast, and adventurer. In their place they added harbinger, merchant, vassal, poacher, bandit, sentry, and artisan. The changes made engine strategies much more viable in the base set, which probably accounts for a big part of our different experiences. If you get a chance, you should check them out. They released just the upgraded cards in a pack so that people who already had the base set don't have to buy the whole thing over again.
Thanks for the recommendation. I love Dominion, but I've played nearly two thousand games at this point so I could use a change!
Yeah, I'll definitely have to look into it. Thanks!
I agree Johnathan. You shouldn‘t buy provices too early in very most cases. Only in specific kingdoms this is the best strategy
ITS FINALLY MY TURN TO WIN! THANK YOU 😭
Thanks for this!
Idk this seems for total beginners
The one rule I'm not sure of if, we shuffle and continue to draw cards on our turn if we've turn out of cards in the deck? If so, what stops a player from doing infinite actions every turn with a deck that has more actions than cards.
Ots also worth stating that if one of the cards in the game gives you an extra buy, gun for those, get aton of gold, and create your deck in a way that you can cycle through it and purchase at least 2 provinces in a turn.
Thanks
Is this a rerelease of an older video? It only shows the first edition of base dominion.
This was literally my strategy and I still got slaughtered.
I don't understand who can dislike this video, very nice tips.
It only works on a very rudimentary level.
Helpful, thank you. I just downloaded this to try and getting stomped by the "easy AI" lol
Great tips! In my experience whoever buys the first gold is more likely to win. That's always what I go for.
I love buying gold! I'm always the first in our group to buy a silver and then a gold
Just buy silver whenever you can and eventually gold. I win pretty easilty that way and I only have at most 3 action cards in my entire deck from unlucky draws but that's it
That is effective for low-level play, but is a losing strategy in 80% of games against competitive players. Once your opponents learn to effectively play actions (For example, trashing your weak cards, chaining Village+Smithy, and only then buying payload like Gold and +Buy cards) the tables will turn completely. I should also note that 20% is far from nothing, so playing this way is still a skill to have.
@@strangerson712 It's funny because my comment is 10 months old, and since then I've seen that rushing silver and gold was not the way to go. Against my friends it works, but when I play online, I've yet to win a game. (probably lost 10 in a row). Thanks for your suggestion
