Dominion: Alchemy Expansion
From the Publisher...
There are strange things going on in your basement laboratories. They keep calling up for more barrels of quicksilver, or bits of your hair. Well it's all in the name of progress. They're looking for a way to turn lead into gold, or at least into something better than lead. That lead had just been too good of a bargain to pass up; you didn't think, where will I put all this lead, what am I going to do with this lead anyway. Well that will all be sorted out. They're also looking for a universal solvent. If they manage that one, you will take whatever they use to hold it in and build a castle out of it. A castle that can't be dissolved! Now that's progress.
This is the 3rd addition to Dominion. It adds new Kingdom cards to Dominion and as it is an expansion, you will need Dominion, or Dominion: Intrigue to play the game. Dominion: Alchemy is an expansion, and can't be played by itself; to play with it, you need Dominion, or a standalone expansion to Dominion (Dominion: Intrigue). Those provide the Basic cards you need to play (Treasure, Victory, and Curse cards), as well as the full rules for setup and gameplay. Dominion: Alchemy can also be combined with any other Dominion expansions you have. We hope you enjoy this expanding world of Dominion!

This expansion of Dominion is the first to add a new type of currency, the potion. Some of the new cards have potions in their cost, and some give special bonuses for using potions. This sets up some interesting new card combinations and add a new layer of strategy in the game. If you love Dominion, give it a play. Enjoy! |

This expansion includes a new type of currency: potions. The game has several action cards that are purchased with potions and give you special bonuses for using potions. It can set up some pretty interesting combinations. If you love Dominion like we do, give this expansion a try. Enjoy! |

The addition of potions as a treasure cards make this game very interesting. My favorite attack card, the Familiar, is in this set. I also love the university which gives you a free card and actions. The box is smaller but there are some really great cards to add to the mix. |

If you have played Dominion, if you have read about Dominion, if you're interested in ever playing Dominion, you probably should just accept now the fact that each expansion for Dominion has been well done and is worth being purchased. The sheer amount of variety that this expansion brings to the base game warrants a purchase. Get it now! |
