If I have this game, do I need to have the base dominion game in order to play other expansion games?

If this one comes with the coppers, silvers, golds, estates, duchy, and province then that is all you need for the "base" of the game and you can get any expansion you want.

Nope! This version serves as a base set (victory cards and treasure cards), so it will work in place of the original if you're using an expansion

No. Dominion and Dominion Intrigue come with the "base" cards (copper/silver/gold/estate/duchy/province/curse) either one works as a source of those cards.

Yes the base game comes with the board. Everything you need is in the box ready to go.

Yes, you have to already own the Sims 3 core game. This particular game is a expiation pack.

We wouldn't recommend playing with just the expansions because 1) they're small and the jokes will get old too quickly, and 2) the writing in the expansions is designed to compliment the main game, so you're getting a set of cards that are bottom-heavy on jokes and which are intended for more experienced players. Then again, you can do whatever you want. We're not the boss of you.

It's Civ IV with expansion packs and all of them are there. You need to do a little searching because it doesn't download to the same folder.

The expansions aren't big enough to play with alone. You need the main game. These are designed to be an add-on

Not without the expansion. But as the game progresses you will gain different cards that give you unique powers. But those cards are random each game.

There aren't enough cards in the expansion pack to play with. I recommend you buy the original game and get the expansions as you can.

Depends on your budget, you might want to buy Dominion: Intrigue first (it works as a standalone) to see whether you like it. If you find it fun, you can always buy this set later since buying Intrigue first means that there's no overlap.

This is the main game. It can be played by itself without the expansions. The expansions that you can purchase are usually labeled very clearly as expansions. The expansions add a bit of variety to the main game, but not necessary.

I find Dominion to have a much higher replay value. There are millions of combinations of cards to play with. Meaning that you have to devise a new strategy with every game... it is lots of fun. Only downside is the game doesnt really pick up until you get a couple expansions. It's not hard to become a master at the base set. If you give your kids this Base Dominion set, they will be begging for expansions to this in no time at all. It can get a little costly, but totally worth it. Awesome game. I have played both 7 wonders and Dominion. However, I haven't played any 7W expansions and own almost all of the Dominion ones, so take that into consideration. .

Yes this should include the expansion Citadels The Dark City. This pitcher of the box art has the purple circle in the bottom left hand corner that says Includes The Dark City Expansion. The pitcher links right to the exact same game that I bought off of Amazon, and my game has the expansion. So to answer your question yes it should be.

Yes you can...that is what I started with and have quite a few of the expansion or stuff.

It's not necessary to purchase the expansion packs in any particular order. They are just additional and answer cards. I would recommend that the basic game set be purchased first, if you haven't already, as the expansion packs do not contain enough cards to play the game well.

I've played both and consider myself an 'ameteur' when it comes to these types of games. I get overwhelmed when they get too complicated. Dominion, by itself without expansions, is easier than 7 wonders. I LOVE both games but they are played totally differently. Same basic concept of building a civilation, game time is similar and the goal is getting the most points (scoring is must easier with Dominion) but game play is different and strategy is different. I agree that if your kids already play 7 wonders, they will likely want expansions for Dominion.

Yes. It has the expansion in a different slot so that you can keep them separate.

The one I purchased was the first edition of the expansion. I don't know of the second is out yet.
