The problem is, victory point cards (which for the most part do nothing aside from giving you game-winning points) dilute your deck. The core gameplay is simple: Each turn you can play an action and buy a card, be it an action card, a money card or a victory point card.

And the granddaddy of these sorts of games is Dominion.ĭominion has been around for years, but its developer has kept it fresh with over a dozen expansions to the base game. Slowly, then, the hands they play with each turn transform to allow new strategies over the course of a game. Essentially, players draft or 'buy' cards in a deck-building game to shuffle into their draw decks. Deck building is a relatively recent development in card games.
