Dominion is another game that's worth checking out. It's fun, fast, familiar to those who've played Collectible Card Games (CCGs) like MtG, and you can play with friends online for free. It's super fun because you get to build your own deck of cards to test against your opponents!

I typically shy away from CCG games because I don't feel confident building decks and I'm not interested in spending a ton of money to fill it out with the perfect cards. Dominion is great for me because I get to build the deck as I play and it's fast enough to play multiple rounds with the same folks to try out different strategies!

How to Play Dominion
▼How to Play Dominion in 3 minutes (video)
Players win Dominion by having the most victory points at the end of the game.
Earn Victory Points (VPs) by buying land cards: Provinces, Estates, and Dutchys
Players improve their decks each turn by spending money cards to add new cards into their decks

The game ends when:
All the Province cards are taken
ORThree different card types have been fully bought (supply pile is empty)
