Description:

Dominion Intrigue expands Dominion adding new cards and more possible supply combination’s. This review will show some of the differences between the two games and highlight some of the new things introduced via Dominion Intrigue

Dominion Intrigue’s game play is the same as Dominion’s and it is still easy to learn and teach. The new Intrigue cards offer more options on each individual card. They say choose an option, then they list the different things the card can do. Some cards let you gain a card and based on the type of card you take from the supply, you add either: a buy, a card or a treasure. The increased decision points may slow the game down, but usually not by much.

The other major difference is action-victory and treasure-victory cards. These combo-cards perform double duty. Not only do you earn victory points but they are also action cards. They don’t clog up your deck as they can serve two purposes. This is a nice change and allows you to buy these victory points anytime.

Some people complain about the almost solitaire nature of Dominion and I think that dynamic is being challenged in Intrigue. Many of the cards are geared toward more interaction, but I feel it is only moderately successful.

A Quick Review:

I have been playing Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue a ton. The easy game play and quick playtime have this on my table more than any other game recently. Being able to expand the game to up to six players with Intrigue is awesome. Increased options for the Supply configurations are great and add to Dominion’s already awesome replayability. Honestly if you like the base game I cannot think of any reason you won’t like Dominion: Intrigue.

Buying antique china to add to your collection of antiques is a great idea. Collecting antiques can be an expensive hobby but it is definitely worth the investment. This is why even if you would have to shell out a lot of cash for it, if collecting them can give you that sense of joy, then there’s no reason why you wouldn’t think about adding them to your collection.

You will realize you have an excellent hobby of collecting antiques when they are appraised higher than the amount that you have originally bought them for. However, a fetish is a fetish. When you are attached to things, you usually wouldn’t want to get rid of them or sell them away even if you know they are already priced higher than the amount you have originally bought them. So, is that a bad thing or not?

When collecting antique china is part of your business, you are willing to learn everything there is to learn about antiques. Some information that you once thought to be dull and boring will suddenly become of interest to you. Below is a list of things that would be of paramount importance when you get yourself hooked into buying antiques:

1. Knowledge of history. When you are into buying or selling antiques, it is expected that you would have some idea about the history of the antiques in your possession. This is something that you would also like to do further research or inquiry about. With this, you are then willing to go out of your way in order to gain knowledge of the story behind such antiquities.

2. Age. We all know that for a thing to be considered antique, it should be at least a hundred years old. It takes skills and expertise to know the age of an antique. Somehow, it would be a little easier to do that if you have been collecting and reading more about antique china for quite some time.

3. You will know the techniques on how to handle antiques with care. One of the things that would interest you when you own antiques is on the best way to handle them safely. Antiques are good investments, which is why you also want to make sure they are well kept and secured; naturally because you didn’t purchase them cheap.
