Dominion: Empires

Description

--- "Dominion: Empires" is the tenth Dominion expansion, humorously themed around imperial rule, introducing innovative card mechanics and scoring options. Key mechanics include: - *Buy now, pay later cards* Players can acquire cards immediately with deferred payment via debt. - *Split piles* Supply piles contain two different cards for varied purchasing choices. - *Landmarks* Structures that introduce new victory point scoring methods. - *VP tokens* Returning mechanism from prior sets for alternative scoring. - *Events* Returning cards that trigger special effects. Dominion: Empires, the tenth expansion to the Dominion series, immerses players in the satirical life of an emperor managing a vast empire amid daily imperial absurdities like sacred flame rituals, territorial expansions, committee drudgery, and assassination precautions. The set includes 96 metal tokens and 300 cards, featuring debt-based "buy now, pay later" cards, split piles with dual card types for dynamic kingdom-building choices, and Landmarks that revolutionize scoring. It reintroduces VP tokens and Events from previous expansions, enhancing strategic depth in deck construction and empire growth. ---
