Description
--- "Ancient Time" is an unofficial fan-made Dominion expansion emphasizing early-game deck stability through trashers and flexible combo cards. Key mechanics include: - *Deck stability focus* Enhances early-game (turns 3-4) performance by building reliable decks. - *Trashing cards* Numerous trashers allow removal of unwanted cards for streamlined decks. - *Combo flexibility* Cards support easier construction and execution of combo decks. - *Thematic elements* Draws from ancient civilizations' stability practices like astrologers, shamans, accessories, and lapis lazuli to avert disasters. Ancient Time is an unofficial, permission-granted fan expansion for Dominion, unaffiliated with its creators but listed on Board Game Geek. It prioritizes deck stability in the early game (turns 3-4) via abundant trashers that eliminate suboptimal cards, fostering robust decks. It also introduces flexible cards enabling accessible combo decks. Thematically inspired by ancient civilizations' achievements—pyramids, documents, high-mountain living—despite primitive technology, it highlights stability through reliable food supplies, astrologers' predictions, shamans' fortune removal, power-granting accessories, and lapis lazuli against evil spirits, all to prevent famines, droughts, and floods. Players leverage this "wisdom of ancients" to succeed. ---
