Dominion: Seaside

Description

**Dominion: Seaside** is an expansion for *Dominion* and *Dominion: Intrigue*, introducing nautical exploration themes without forming a standalone game. Key mechanics include: - *Maritime expansion* Players navigate rivers to seas, deploying ships across pirate-infested waters to distant ports. - *Island conquest* Establishing footholds by overtaking islands amid hostile natives offering spears and poison darts. - *Trade and domination* Conquering ports for lucrative trade, ultimately claiming all rivers through progressive territorial control. Dominion: Seaside serves as an expansion to the Dominion series, compatible with both Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue, explicitly lacking components for a complete standalone game. Its thematic narrative evokes seafaring ambition, beginning with acquiring longed-for rivers that extend to perilous, pirate-infested seas. Players dispatch rat-plagued ships cautiously to forge trade links at remote, merchant-crowded ports. Strategic progression involves initial island seizures as bases, navigating deceptive native encounters marked by premature offerings of weapons, culminating in port conquests that fuel further river acquisitions toward total dominion: "One day, all the rivers will be yours."
