I wish every rule overview out there was as direct and straight to the point as this. Fantastic.
Completely agree. I understood more from this straightforward 3-minute video than I did from two different 10+ minute videos.
"The goal of the game is to win."
it is what it is
Yes, the floor here is made of floor.
"People die when they are killed."
LMAO
Sometimes, the goal of the game is not to lose...
I just tried playing this with my family and was so disheartened when everyone complained that it was too complicated. Immediately came home to look up a rule summary video so I can just show them this for next time
Thank you for such a great explanation in three minutes. Hopefully at Christmas it’ll be much easier to play a game I love without it being made out as too nerdy or complicated for other people to enjoy 😊
This is amazingly concise. Thank you for that! I just wanted to quickly point out for anyone who may misinterpret like me that when she says the game continues until 3 stacks of cards have been entirely purchased, this INCLUDES the yellow, green and purple cards and not just the kingdom cards in the middle. Nothing wrong with what rules girl said, just my misinterpretation based on what the video was showing. By the way, if like me you're curious as to whether there are any rules in the rulebook that wasn't covered in the video, keep reading
-Each turn has 3 phases - action, buy, clean-up. You must finish 1 phase before moving on to the next
-You can play an action card even if you can’t do everything on the action card, but you MUST do everything you can
-You must fully resolve 1 action card before playing another
-When card tells you to discard, they mean discard from your hand unless otherwise stated
-The top card of a player’s discard pile must be visible to all players
-When discarding multiple cards into your Discard pile, you only need to reveal how many you’re discarding. You do NOT have to show what cards you’re discarding
-During clean-up phase, when placing both your used and unused cards into the discard pile, you do NOT have to reveal what the cards were
-The next player may start their turn when the previous player starts their clean up phase to speed up the game
-Trashed cards are removed from the game and are NOT available for purchase
-Reveal = show card to all players then return it to wherever it came from (unless stated otherwise)
-If your deck doesn’t have enough cards to reveal, shuffle the Discard pile to create a new deck, then reveal the required number of cards
-Set aside = place card on table face-up without following the card’s instructions
-Any unused cards/resources/coins etc from the current turn does NOT carry over to the next turn
-The game ends when you have emptied the pile of Province cards (6 victory points) or ANY 3 supply piles (not just Kingdom cards)
-Supply pile = any pile of card that you can purchase
-A player may count how many cards are left in his Deck, but not in his Discard pile
-A player may not look through his Deck or Discard pile
-A player may look through the Trash pile
-A player may count cards in any supply pile
-If an ability of a card affects multiple players, and the order matters, resolve that ability for each affected player in turn order, starting with the player whose turn it is.
-When an Action card allows a player to gain a card costing up to a certain value, he may not add coins from his hand or other action cards to gain a higher-valued card.
-The rulebook clarifies what each kingdom card does
Iconic comment thank you Dr Beh

@@mchamberlain7408 cheers mate ☺
After years I've shaved down my new player spiel to a tight 25 minutes. Instead I'm just going to link this from now on.
Excellent! I was looking for a quick refresher, since it's been years since I last played it. Your video was just what I needed, thanks!
Channels like these keep CZcams running !!
Very well done. Love those animations. I saw your previous videos, and I'm impressed. I saw Harry Potter today at my LFGS, just not entirely sure I want to pick it up yet, but I love deckbuilding games. I have already gathered many for my collection. Congratulations on your efforts! Here's to more of them!!
This is an awesome video. Straight to the point and told me exactly what I needed to know. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Brilliant! I love the concept. Quick, right to the point and suggestions! Subscribed!
Great video. Clear, simple instructions and I appreciate the recommendations list. Subscribed! :)
Awesome video. Short, direct, concise, straightforward, clear, simple and comprehensive. Thank you!
Great and concise explanation!! And I liked the end it where you recommended games based on dominion!!
I like the suggestions for other games based on what attribute you liked at the end!
Checking out clank and battle for Hogwarts now.
Thanks, Justin! Once we've got an even larger library of content, those will link to their own rules videos!
The "jhv
Or six years ago man you’re still at the top of the search list
Super concise explanation - many thanks!
Thanks, nice and short, no messing around.
This video cleared up a lot of questions
Do you have a very good voice and a very good production value, I very much enjoyed listening to you and I think this was an awesome video all around!
You're a genius! Also love your accent!
You are awesome thank you for this! You got a new subscriber for sure!
This channel is a thing!?!? I love youtube. Great work!
Thank you! This was very helpful
shut up
awesome as usual keep it up!
Thanks Andy!
Great vid!
Great tutorial
thanks for this
This game is a lot of fun
🥳
If we have a card that says +3 cards, but our deck is empty. do we shuffle and pick up, or does it end the action.
Great Video! You just got a sub
what a well-made video.
Looks like a great game.
tie breaker rules if same victory points ? also do both players get equal number of turns or game ends immediately when piles are empty, if it ends immediately 1st player will always have an advantage I'd think
Not one second of precious time wasted, yet left knowing everything I need to in order to play. Just getting into boar gaming, why the game company doesn't release something like this idk, but def. subbed and threw a like to support.
We appreciate it, thank you!
Rules Girl and 3 minute board games are the bestttt
"What's your favorite card in _Dominion?"_
*"PROVINCE"*
It's hard to argue with his assessment.
Just bought dominion and it seems very fun
X-Ray Gaming it's very fun and every game can be a different experience especially with all the expansions out there.
Ya got the rules girl!!
sounds like a vibe :)
This is great. Any plans on making a the Grizzled one?
Grizzled's not on our list at the moment, but I've added it to the Great Spreadsheet™.
Dominion is no longer available in Hungary. Can you please help me, if there is other similar games out there like this one?
so how do you set up the game?
Nice video! 2 things:
1. The second editions of the Dominion Base Set and Intrigue expansion are out and have new cards replacing some of the old ones.
2. It's not clear from your video that you have to play Actions and Treasures into your play area. A common mistake made by new players is to just flash the Treasures in their hand without putting them on the table.
singletee Thanks for the feedback! We had a tricky time trying to decide the best way to illustrate that. We wanted to keep the first turn as simple as possible, so we went with showing cards entering the play area once there were actions to play.
Or people putting onto the table the cards that are supposed to stay in their hands!
It’s definitely a decent video. A bit surprised it didn’t highlight the A-B-C acronym for Phase order, since that’s so helpful and memorable.
Awesome vid thanks!
Can’t figure out how to play Ways profitably , any examples out there?
I've been playing for years but I didn't know the number of victory cards (we always freeballed it lol) or that the game could also end with 3 empty piles... weird!
Adding the possible endgame of 3 empty supply piles changes the strategy of the game! I love it
Some mistakes:
1) You don't add up Treasures in your hand, but Treasures that you play. This is important with many Expansion cards.
2) Kingdom cards you can buy are not just "special Action cards".
3) The game ends when any three piles are empty, not "entirely purchased". This includes for instance Curses, which will pretty much never be purchased.
So it's bad to have victory point cards show up in your 5 card hand since they won't do anything?
It's not ideal, but it's par for the course with Dominion. Some strategies will work toward having fewer of the lower point VP cards so you can focus on drawing coins instead. All depends on your strategy!
Good game
My version does not have the "wood cutter" card
ios this fun?
Normal cards don't have blue backs. Only the randomizers do. I doubt new players are even going to notice this, but it's still a funny mistake.
What is your accent? It sounds so familiar to me
I played this game once. It didn't do it for me. Funnily enough, Arctic Scavengers did.
Tried the game once, feels so short when the game ends once 3 stacks has been depleted.
Ya, game sounds boring and the theme is bland.
Thank you my copy didn’t come with a rulebook
Rules Girl, Are you trying to impress me? Because it’s working.
At 2:07 you said "Bronze" instead of "Copper".
Dangit, yes I did. Luckily, it shouldn't cause much confusion.
It shouldn't, I just wanted to point it out. Love your videos! I watch all of them, even for the games I already know how to play (because I would be lying if I said I've never screwed up a rule or two).
Thanks! We're working on some sort of preview system where fans can help us squash the bugs before a video gets released.
I didn't even notice, so it shouldn't be much of an issue. Great video otherwise! These are a godsend to show to friends for game night, without having them read 30 pages of rules or watch 20 minute instructional videos.
well, Bronze is made of Cooper...
This look funny
don't forget star realms
Does anyone else enjoy calling the Duchy cards "dookie?"
NJ: Or douchey!
YES THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY
Hi youtube!
BallZ
no
lol
I love your accent. Would you ever date a dumb guy?
Honestly, way too fast for new players to actually learn from this.
wow that was hard to follow..just read the instructions
"the goal of the game is to win"? You really needed to include that in a 3-minute tutorial?
Yes, yes I did.
Wow, this is dumb. Terrible overview of this simple and great game. Big fail.
