Great as a standalone or a companion to DominionFeb 28, 2010 Dominion Intrigue is slightly more interactive than the original Dominion. Cards like Masquerade and Spy keep players engaged in the action even if it's not their turn. Intrigue also includes some victory cards that are functional during the game, which is a nice mechanic. My favorite card is Secret Chamber, which can be a powerful counter to some attacks.
Intrigue is...intriguing.Feb 08, 2010 Expansion to the popular Dominion Card Game, Intrigue adds a whole host of new ways to mess with your opponents. This set create some interesting synergies with the base set and adds several fun tactical elements to the game. This set seeks to further strengthen Dominions greatest attribute: re-playability. Strongly recommended for any who have the base set and enjoy it.
Fun as a Stand Alone or Combination SetJan 24, 2010 Dominion: Intrigue is a great game to play as a stand alone game or in combination with the original Dominion set. The additional cards represent a whole new playing field and challenge for the game overall. I really like the very noticeable difference between Intrigue and Dominion. While it is an expansion to the original set it also presents a uniquely different playing style and set.

Same tune, new wordsDec 17, 2009 Before I get into reviewing this game - my personal experience says if you only have money for either Dominion or Dominion: Intrigue (either is playable on it's own), you're better off with the base Dominion game. The replay value is just as good and it has a lot of basic cards that the Intrigue expansion fails to make up for.
If you've played Dominion then you already know what to expect from this game. The biggest surprise here are the 3 sets of combo cards (2 victory/actions and 1 victory/treasure). Other notable features include cards with the ability to chose between several options and host of new cards designed to interfere with other players.
While it is important to note this box has all the cards necessary to play the game on it's own and over 3 million possible unique game scenarios (with 25 'special' cards, choosing 10 cards at a time) this game is much improved when combined with the base Dominion game, resulting in well over 12 billion unique scenarios (that's 51 special cards, still choosing 10 at a time). The replay value of Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue is truly unique.
Dominion gets even better with IntrigueDec 15, 2009 I was very surprised to find that I liked playing Dominion as much as I do. I am not a big card game kind of person.
Dominion is probably the best card game (but it doesn't SEEM like a card game when you play it) that I have ever played. It has the feel more of a board game, but you aren't moving pieces around a board.
Dominion intrigue has actually improved on this by introducing new cards that have the ability to be useful not only in the current round, but in the next round as well.
I bought this game for my daughter's boyfriend who fell in love with Dominion the fist time he played it. Now with him having this newer version he can borrow my copy of Dominion and have even more choices in setting up games.
If you don't own Dominion yet you can choose between Dominion Intrigue or the original Dominion. I would say the more you play the game the more you would want Dominion Intrigue. If you only play every now and then Dominion (orignial) would probably be a better choice.
Either way you can't go wrong.
One word of caution however.... There is a new expansion out called Dominion Seaside. It is a great EXPANSION.. but not a standalone game. You NEED either Dominion or Dominion Intrigue to play Dominion Seaside. I have played Dominion Seaside expansion once and loved it. But remember you need Dominion or Dominion Intrigue to play Dominion Seaside.
