Together they add 26 newKingdom cards to Dominion. Cornucopia’s central theme is variety, while Guilds has coin tokens you can save and spend later, and cards that you get more out of by paying extra for them. Dominion: Cornucopia \u0026amp; Guilds cannot be played by itself; to play with it, you need the Basic cards and rulebook (Dominion provides both).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermit Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820846133485,"sku":null,"price":69.97,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4828\/2349\/files\/dominion_corn_guilds_box_3d-700x720-1.jpg?v=1759559803"},{"product_id":"dominion-cornucopia-guilds-2nd-update","title":"Dominion Cornucopia \u0026 Guilds 2nd Edition Update Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis update pack will update your copy of Dominion Cornucopia \u0026amp; Guilds 1st Edition to 2nd Edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermit Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820846297325,"sku":null,"price":22.97,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4828\/2349\/files\/dominion_update_corn_guilds_3d_box-700x460-1.jpg?v=1759559808"},{"product_id":"moon-colony-bloodbath","title":"Moon Colony Bloodbath","description":"\u003cp\u003eCities on the moon!

Three colored cards are placed along the edge of the main board into 3 x 5 slots, which are also colored. Ideally players can place cards into slots of the same color. Then they can take both actions and advantages: the action depicted in the slot on the main board and also the advantage of the card. Actions and advantages can allow players to intake raw materials; to build and upgrade city domes, tunnels and production buildings such as farms, desalination devices and laboratories in their personal underwater area; to move their marker on the initiative track (which is important for player order in the next turn); to activate the player's \"A-cards\"; and to collect cards, both special ones and basic ones that allow for better decision possibilities during gameplay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the nearly 220 cards — whether special or basic — are divided into four types according to the way and time of use.

Each player begins with two identical dice and can gain more dice during play, in addition to upgrading their starting dice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay is mostly simultaneous. To begin, players roll their dice, with one player rolling the Fate die. If Winter appears on the Fate die, all players must pay 1 grain for each die they own or collect a -2 point \"misery\" chip for each grain they can't pay. Players may then re-roll one die for free, and they can invest in re-roll and \"set a die\" tokens (that allow you to choose the die face result) for further control. If a re-rolled die shows a re-roll icon, you do power shown on the die and then re-roll it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers then resolve attacks, starting with any on the Fate die (that hit all players), and then going clockwise from that player, with each player's attack affecting all their rivals. Each shield showing on your dice lets you ignore one attack. Successful attacks can cost players grain, the use of a die for a turn, or the loss of a die face, with that face being replaced with a \"destroyed\" face (which can be later rebuilt).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers then collect the victory points (VPs), grain, and coins shown on their die faces, with coins being used to purchase re-roll tokens and set-a-die tokens, repair any destroyed die faces, buy a new die -- which also costs 2 grain -- or acquire upgrades. You can save at most 1 coin in your treasury from round to round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpgrades are the heart of the game. Players receive upgrades from upgrade symbols showing or by spending coins. Die faces have 1, 2, or 4 dots on them. To change from a 1 to a 4 in the same color — such as from a yellow face collecting 2 grain to the 4-dot version that collects 4 grain and 2 coins — costs three upgrades, whereas changing from one face to a different color face at the same level costs just one upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf during a round any player needs to use a 10 VP token, a -10 misery token, or a 10 grain token (because all of the smaller value tokens have been used), then the game ends after finishing that round; otherwise, the player with the Fate die passes it clockwise to the next player and a new round begins. When the game ends, players tally their points earned, both on the VP tokens and on the upgraded die faces, with 2-dot faces being worth 1 VP and 4-dot faces being worth 2 VP. Whoever has the most VPs wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 18 dice, more than 650 plastic die faces in 72 types, and 35 tiles that provide more than 320,000 unique starting set-ups and challenges, \u003cem\u003eDice Realms\u003c\/em\u003e offers lots of variety and replayability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermit Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49296325804269,"sku":null,"price":179.97,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4828\/2349\/files\/dice-realms-96440_f5451.jpg?v=1769281373"}],"url":"https:\/\/hermitmerchant.com.au\/collections\/rio-grande-games.oembed?page=2","provider":"Hermit Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
