Dominion: Seaside (Second Edition)

Description

"Dominion: Seaside is an expansion for Dominion and Intrigue, adding nautical-themed Kingdom cards focused on sea exploration and conquest, requiring a base game to play." Key mechanics include: - *Expansion content* Nine new types of Kingdom cards in Second Edition; not a standalone game. - *Naval theme* Players navigate pirate-infested seas, rat-infested ships, conquer islands and ports to claim rivers. - *Update pack* Separate release for first-edition owners; minor errata excluded from pack. - *Humorous flavor* Satirical narrative of trade, hostile natives offering spears and darts, ultimate river dominance. Dominion: Seaside serves as an expansion to Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue, lacking material for a complete standalone game. Its thematic back-of-box text evokes a whimsical yet perilous maritime adventure: players seek tall ships guided by stars to traverse dangerous, pirate-infested waters via rat-infested vessels, establishing trade at distant merchant-infested ports. Initial island footholds involve wary interactions with "friendly" natives hurling spears and poison darts, leading to port conquests and further river pursuits, culminating in total river ownership. The Second Edition introduces nine new Kingdom card types, available separately as an update pack for prior owners, with minor errata applied but omitted from the pack.
