| | | Description: | | Dominion: Seaside is an expansion to both Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue. As such, it does not contain material for a complete game. Specifically, it does not include the basic Treasure, Victory, Curse, or Trash cards. Thus, you will need either the base game or Intrigue to play with this expansion, and you will need to have experience playing Dominion with either of the first two games. It is designed to work with either or both of these sets, and any future expansions that may be published. .... All you ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by. And someone who knows how to steer ships using stars. You finally got some of those rivers you'd wanted, and they led to the sea. These are dangerous, pirate-infested waters, and you cautiously send rat-infested ships across them, to establish lucrative trade at far-off merchant-infested ports. First, you will take over some islands, as a foothold. The natives seem friendly enough, crying their peace cries, and giving you spears and poison darts before you are even close enough to accept them properly. When you finally reach those ports you will conquer them, and from there you will look for more rivers. One day, all the rivers will be yours ... This is the 2nd addition to Dominion. It adds 26 new Kingdom cards to Dominion. Its central theme is your next turn; there are cards that do something this turn and next, cards that set up your next turn, and other ways to step outside of the bounds of a normal turn.

Great family game - get the card sleeves as wellJun 10, 2010
Our family loves this game. We have it and the original Dominion. My 7 year old daughter likes it and can easily play it, although her strategies are less than ideal. She has managed to win a few times though! My 12 year old son usually wins among our family members. Be sure to get the card sleeves to protect the cards. There is a lot of shuffling and other manipulation of the cards, and they will be worn out in no time if you don't.
EXPANSION to Original Dominion GameApr 30, 2010
Was unaware at time of purchasing that this 3rd issue of Dominion (SEASIDE) is an expansion game!! I had played Dominion before, and became instantly addicted, however, did NOT OWN the original Dominion myself. It would have been helpful to know this version of Dominion was an expansion, otherwise would've purchased the original, and then following in order. Just a tiny tid-bit to others who may miss that! Enjoy your Dominion time!
Great addition to the basic game!Apr 28, 2010
The basic Dominion game has been my husband's and my favorite since we got it a few months ago, and the Seaside expansion makes it even more interesting! Definitely recommend it if you've enjoyed the basic game.
quick N fun deck building duel or multiplayApr 26, 2010
This is a quick and fun deckbuilding game
No EXP needed, very fast learning curve
this is the 3rd expansion that makes you think about your NEXT turn
If you have the other 2 games, or just the CORE set, and you like it,
yhou will love Seaside.
I only gave it 3 stars for durability because its a card game.
If you dont take care of your cards (sleeving them is best but a bit expensive)
then its not going to hold up well. If you do take care of your games,
then it will be just fine.

This is great stuffMar 12, 2010
This game is a ton of fun. Every time you play it, you are almost forced to use a different strategy than the time before based on the cards that come out. This is a strategy game with a huge amount of replay value.
In comparison to the original Dominion set, I would say that this one is simply more...interesting. The cards often force you into a different mindset. The strategies used can be more off the wall and what your opponents do gets less predictable. In other words, if you like strategy games with small amounts of randomness, and lots of different pathways by which to finagle the victory, this one is for you.
I do have a couple of small critiques:
There are more 'parts' now. It is not just cards anymore, now there are mats and little tokens. So far this is fine, but I typically don't like this type of game bloat.
You can still only play with four players. I was honestly hoping that the expansion would have additional rules for six, but it doesn't. I have tried adding a few more Provinces to play with more than four, but the game seems to be built around four.
