Quote Quoting Sycophant (view post)
It's pretty incredible, because the game feels about as deep (or deeper) as, say, Settlers of Catan. But it's a quick set up, it's a quick play (far too many Settlers games end with the last five go-rounds taking forever and feeling like hell), and the wide assortment of cards (that seems as though it may be open to even more exciting expansions) means that basically no two games can ever be the same, as you can pursue different strategies even if you manage to play with the same cards.

Goddamn, it's fun.
Deck building games are an entire sub-genre now thanks to Dominion.

I highly recommend Ascension. We like it a bit more than Dominion now, but that could be just because we grew tired of Dominion after playing it so much.
