Dominion: Empires (Expansion)

Dominion: Empires is the tenth expansion for the deck-building game Dominion, introducing several new mechanics and card types that significantly enhance gameplay. This expansion includes Debt, Split Piles, Gathering Cards, and Landmarks, as well as reintroducing Victory Tokens and Events.

Key Features:

• Debt Mechanic: Allows players to acquire powerful cards earlier by incurring debt, which must be repaid in subsequent turns. This adds a strategic layer of risk and reward to deck-building decisions.

• Victory Tokens: Reintroduced from the Prosperity expansion, these tokens offer players additional methods to accumulate victory points without adding more cards to their decks.
• Events: Reintroduced from the Adventures expansion, these are one-time effects that players can purchase, adding dynamic elements to the game.

Additional Details:

• Card Sets: The expansion includes 24 sets of Kingdom cards, each offering unique abilities and interactions.
• Player Count: Designed for 2-4 players, making it suitable for both small and larger groups.
• Game Duration: Typically adds 30-60 minutes to the base game, depending on the complexity of the chosen card sets.
