Description
--- "Dominion: Dark Ages" is a Dominion expansion emphasizing trash and upgrading mechanics amid a humorous tale of medieval hardship. Key mechanics include: - *Trash interactions* Cards that activate when trashed or reference the trash pile. - *Upgrading systems* Cards that self-upgrade or upgrade others. - *New Kingdom cards* 35 additions expanding strategic options. - *Ruins* Bad cards inflicted on opponents. - *Shelters* Replacement starting cards for Estates, obtainable via specific cards. Dominion: Dark Ages, the seventh Dominion expansion with 500 cards (not standalone), immerses players in a darkly comedic medieval world of ravine-dwelling nobility amid looting, plagues, barbarians, and twig-begging poverty. It introduces 35 new Kingdom cards, opponent-penalizing Ruins, Estate-replacing Shelters, and specialized cards, centering on trash mechanics—where cards gain effects upon trashing or interact with the trash—and upgrading, enabling self or other card improvements for deeper strategic conquest over adversity. ---
