Dominion is a cool card game I tried for the first time last night. You start with a small deck of cards, drawing a new hand each turn and shuffling your discard pile back as a deck when your deck is empty.
On your turn, you can purchase new cards that are added to your deck. In this way, each time you go through your deck, it should be better.You can purchase higher value gold cards, cards that allow you chain together more possible moves per turn, and victory cards, which are cards that are worthless during play but represent points that are sole measure of, well, victory at the end of the game.
That’s it in a nutshell anyways. It’s a fast game (even if I was slower at it than the other players), but I had a ton of fun playing it. It seems nice because it could be fit in to an evening easily.

Joystiq: Angry Birds board game coming this May from Mattel
Announced at CES, Mattel will be releasing an Angry Birds board game in May for $14.99. That sounds so much more awesome than the video game. You actually build little levels and catapult birds into it. Please, please, someone play this with me.

My roommates started a fourth edition Dungeons and Dragons campaign last night! I can’t wait to join in next week. I’m really looking forward to playing.
