Product Description

When darkness falls over the kingdom, Dominion changes.

Dominion: Nocturne is the 11th expansion to Dominion, introducing 500 cards and 33 new Kingdom cards alongside a collection of new mechanics that give your deck-building games a distinctly supernatural twist.

The biggest addition is the new Night phase, which takes place after the Buy phase. Night cards can be played during this new part of your turn, opening up fresh possibilities after your usual Actions and purchases are complete.

Nocturne also introduces Heirlooms, special cards that can replace starting Coppers when certain Kingdom cards are in play. Fate cards can provide helpful Boons, while Doom cards unleash Hexes that can disrupt players in unexpected ways.

The expansion is filled with unusual characters and effects, from Vampires, Werewolves and Necromancers to Ghosts, Imps and mysterious Wishes. Extra cards, States and Spirits add even more variety, allowing different Kingdom combinations to create dramatically different experiences from one game to the next.

Dominion: Nocturne cannot be played on its own, but it can be combined with Dominion and other Dominion expansions to create an enormous range of deck-building combinations.
