After Peloponnes, we opted to play a six player game of Dominion, picking five random cards from each of the base game and Intrigue. This was a pretty brutal game with all the thieves being grabbed after about the third round. Hence nobody really collected gold because chances were it would get nicked before you could use it. The Steward also proved to be popular so with two kingdom piles exhausted, it soon became a race to grab points. I've never seen so many Estate Cards grabbed in a game just to gain that extra point and eventually the game ended when Mark W claimed the last Duchy. Mark K had got a very nice card engine going on the back of collecting multiple Festival cards and, had he got one more turn, that would have been enough for him to win. As it was, Mark W's use of the Baron to gain extra Estates or cash proved a winner and he took a very good win. A very unusual game but it just shows how the variety of cards can make for very different games. I love Dominion.
