About this expansion

Dominion: Nocturne is a 2017 expansion for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. As the 11th expansion to Dominion, it brings a supernatural nighttime theme to the series with 500 cards, including 33 new Kingdom cards.

The expansion introduces several new types of cards and effects. Night cards are played after the Buy phase, creating a distinct moment for actions beyond the usual flow of a turn. Heirlooms replace starting Coppers, changing the resources available from the beginning of the game.

  • Night cards: Played after the Buy phase.
  • Heirlooms: Cards that replace starting Coppers.
  • Fate and Doom cards: Give out Boons and Hexes.
  • Extra cards: A variety of additional cards can be provided by other cards.

Its setting is filled with odd transformations and nocturnal possibilities. You may imagine a statue that comes to life to work as a tavern barmaid, a pedestal that hops around, or a village blacksmith who becomes a wolf under a full moon—and a chihuahua under a crescent moon.

With its mix of new Kingdom cards, alternate starting cards, and effects that unfold after the Buy phase, Dominion: Nocturne expands the series with a distinctly mysterious atmosphere. It is a substantial addition for players ready to breathe in the night air and see what the darkness brings.
