What to Expect
Prosperity adds 25 new Kingdom cards plus two new Basic cards to Dominion, focusing on wealth with treasures that have special abilities and expensive powerful cards. Players expand their decks beyond Gold and Province, experiencing new strategic options. The game plays in about 30 minutes and emphasizes hand management and delayed purchases.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for players aged 13 and up with experience in Dominion, Prosperity is not standalone and requires the base game. Its short playtime suits quick sessions but is better suited for experienced gamers rather than families or beginners.
How It Works
Prosperity expands the deck, bag, and pool building mechanic with new treasure cards and costly actions. Hand management is key as players carefully play cards. Delayed purchase allows planning for valuable cards while open drafting affects card selection, enabling strategic deck-building and tactical adaptation.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Donald X. Vaccarino, Prosperity won the 2010 Golden Geek Best Board Game Expansion award. As the fourth Dominion expansion, it enriches the deck-building experience with wealth-focused cards, adding fresh strategic depth to the renowned Dominion family.
