Online Dominion!

Okay, so a lot of you know about Dominion, and you may or may not have played it online before on BrettspielWelt. I myself never used BSW before because it seemed like a big hassle, but NOW there is a new tool that you can use to play Dominion games online: Dominion Isotropic! I just started using this program today and it is SO easy to use. I learned how to use it in about a minute. All Dominion lovers HAVE to try this out!

(BTW, my name is BaconSnake if you want to play a game with me in particular.)

Not going to dig in now to see the interface, but this appears to have all the cards published for Dominion.  Is this the case?

I love playing Dominion on BSW but the fact that they only program in five cards from each expansion after the original is a travesty.

I just learned this game a couple weeks ago and liked it.  Is this online thing free?

It is. All promos, all Base cards, all Intrigue cards, all Seaside cards, all Alchemy cards, and most importantly, all Prosperity cards, which I am very much enjoying.

You could have cut that sentence 3 words short. ;)

100%. No ads either. I guess someone made it out of the goodness of their heart...

In other words, when enough people signup, they'll then hit you with the ads or fees, haha.

How does one play?
If you haven't played Dominion yet, then you should. You can check out the rulebook here. If you want a short explanation, here goes:

Victory cards give you victory points.
Action cards let you do stuff.
Treasure cards give you money.
Curse cards are bad.

The object of the game is to get the highest number of victory points (the green cards). However, during the game, victory cards have no function, so be careful about buying as many as you can as soon as possible.

Phases of a turn:
(1) Action Phase - You may play one action card (If you play an action card that says "+X Actions" or "Play [an action]", then you may play more.)
(2) Buy Phase - You may place any number of treasure cards from your hand onto the table in any order you choose, and use that money to buy one card on the table. (If you have played an action or treasure that says + 1 Buy, you may buy one more card.)
(3) Cleanup Phase - Take all of the cards you have played this turn and all of the cards in your hand and put them in your discard pile (along with all other cards you have gained this turn), and draw five new cards.

At any time, if you need to draw cards when there are no more cards left in your deck, your shuffled discard pile becomes your new deck. (Yes, this means that the discard pile is not really a discard pile, at least not as it is in Redemption.)

The game ends when either three piles are gone, the Provinces are gone, or now, the Colonies are gone.
