Dominion
Dominion is the game that created the deck-building genre. Players start with a small deck of cards and use them to buy more powerful cards, gradually building an efficient engine. Each game uses a different set of 10 kingdom cards from the available pool, creating nearly infinite variety. The goal is to have the most victory points when the game ends.
