Domaine

  Another Good One - With A Small Rule Book!

Game Addict of Oregon, 12/16/2011

Domaine was created by the same designer as Settlers of Catan, and I think its even a better game! It has a modular board similar to Catan, but almost everything else is different.
The play is card based, and you must pay to use each card. But the only way to get money is to sell cards and you must be careful not to sell those cards your opponent needs!
There is very little luck in this game and it can take some serious thinking. Good for 2,3, or 4 players. We pull this out when our brains feel fresh.
Pros: Short rule book, easy to learn but hard to master, board different every time, good with 2-4 players, good art on the cards, great money tokens.
Cons: Takes around 2 hours with 4 people. That's all!
