Dominion - Ancient Art of War (the boardgame)

The Game

Dominion is a strategy game for 2-4 players. The aim of the game is to eliminate all your opponents by removing all the other Emperors competing with you for dominance of the board. Dominion involves an element of random chance in allowing promotion/demotion of units, the recruitment of new soldiers and the turning of enemy units.

The game also utilizes many different specialized units, which can be combined into various lethal strike combinations or into integrated defensive groups depending on the strategy employed. The gameboard contains special features such as home territories, defensive lines and strongholds, which can be utilized for different purposes. The overall flexibility allowed for in the numbers, types and features of the units and terrain gives players the ability to formulate different strategies and tactics, allowing for a highly varied and engrossing game.

This randomness gives the game an unpredictable character and should appeal to a wide range of players. The overall strategy employed and the tactics used in offence or in defence is only limited by the imagination of the player.
