Description

--- "Dominion: Menagerie" is the 13th expansion to Dominion, adding animal-themed cards and mechanics for strategic menagerie-building in deck construction. Key mechanics include: - *Horses* that save a draw for later use. - *Exile mats* where cards can be sent and later rescued. - *Ways* that provide Actions with additional options. - *Events* which return to gameplay. - *Expansion integration* requiring base Dominion cards and rulebook, combinable with other expansions. - *New cards* totaling 400, including 30 Kingdom cards. Dominion: Menagerie, the 13th expansion to the Dominion series, features 400 cards with 30 new Kingdom cards centered on an animal menagerie theme. Players assemble a diverse collection akin to a royal menagerie—starting modestly with a goat, rats, and advisor, expanding to camels (useless for sewing), a long-breath-holding turtle, and more—while learning quirky animal lessons like spitting distance or best grass tastes. Elephant-like memory tracks everything despite mouse fears, progressing from dog-riding to grander ambitions for the animal kingdom. Core innovations include Horses for deferred draws, Exile mats for temporary card banishment and retrieval, Ways offering extra Action choices, and the return of Events. Requiring the base Dominion cards and rulebook, it seamlessly mixes with any other expansions for enhanced strategic depth in deck-building and kingdom dominance. ---
