About the game

Dominion: Cornucopia & Guilds (2nd Edition) is an expansion for Dominion from Rio Grande Games, designed by Donald X. Vaccarino (2024). It plays 2–4 players in 30 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 8.3 out of 10 and call it medium-light (2.0 / 5 weight).

This is the second edition of Cornucopia & Guilds, replacing 8 kingdom cards and the Prizes from the first edition.

CORNUCOPIA: Autumn. It seemed like the summer would never end, but that fortune teller was right. It's over. Autumn, the time of the harvest. Agriculture has advanced significantly in recent years, ever since the discovery of the maxim, "leaves of three, let it be." Autumn, a time of celebration. The peasants have spent a hard week scything hay in the fields, but tonight the festivities begin, starting with a sumptuous banquet of roast hay. Then, the annual nose-stealing competition. Then, two jesters, one who always lies, one who always tells the truth, both hilariously. Then, they fight to the death! This celebration will truly have something for everyone.

GUILDS: Jobs, everyone's worried about jobs. Whatever happened to tilling the fields in obscurity? The economy is just a trick, like stealing someone's nose, but lately people seem to have seen through it, like when you realize someone hasn't really stolen your nose. So now everyone's joining a guild, learning a craft, and working on a masterpiece - a painting so beautiful it blinds you, or a cheese grater so amazing that you never eat cheese again. The only people left tilling the fields are the ones doing it ironically. The guilds cover everything - ironic tilling, butchering, baking, candlestick making, shoemaking, cheesemaking, cheese destruction. Your advisor is convinced that somehow, control of the stonecutters is key to world domination. Very well. You will have stone handled so expertly that the world trembles before you.

This box combines the 5th (Cornucopia) and 8th (Guilds) Dominion expansions. Together they add 26 new Kingdom cards to Dominion. Cornucopia's central theme is variety, while Guilds has coin tokens you can save and spend later, and cards that you get more out of by paying extra for them. Dominion: Cornucopia & Guilds cannot be played by itself; to play with it, you need the Basic cards and rulebook (Dominion provides both).
