Dominion: Renaissance Expansion – 300 Card Deck-Building Strategy Game | Rio Grande Games

Elevate your Dominion nights with a rich Renaissance expansion

Dominion: Renaissance, the 12th expansion from Rio Grande Games, introduces a lush era of art, science, and discovery into your deck-building sessions. With a hefty pool of 300 cards and 25 new Kingdoms, players gain fresh ways to shape their strategies while still enjoying the core flow of Dominion. The expansion invites deeper planning and more interactive moments, offering possibilities rather than guarantees for how a game might evolve each night.

What makes Renaissance feel distinct is the trio of new mechanisms that invite cautious long-game thinking. Tokens let you save coins and actions for later turns, opening avenues for smarter timing and careful resource management. Projects grant ongoing abilities, subtly shifting the balance as the game unfolds. Artifacts become points of competition at the table, injecting lively, back-and-forth moments that reward timely decisions and adaptation.

While outcomes vary by match and group, Renaissance promises richer decisions, more storytelling moments, and a compelling reason to revisit your favorite Dominion scenarios.
