We've been playing the "Millennium" edition for years now, but after seeing this thread, I'm going to go buy an updated edition for my mom's birthday later this week!

M_D, do you just have the traditional Dominion set or did you get any expansion packs? Some of the expansion packs are really good.

We just got Dominion a couple of weeks ago. Still on the traditional set, but we have already started researching expansion packs. Do you have a recommendation? I love how every game is different.
Have you ever played the 5-6 player expansion of Settlers? Makes the game more enjoyable to me because you can build every turn.

The traditional set is great. I recommend Hinterlands, Dark Ages, and Prosperity to add on though. I also tried Seaside but I never go back and play it.
At this point my friends and I keep a randomizer deck with just our favorite cards from each set and use that to choose our setup.
I haven't played the Settlers expansion pack though, will look into it. I actually prefer playing Settlers with 3 people instead of 4, leaves more room on the board.

I can see us using the Randomizer cards a lot more once we've played a few games with every card. So far I prefer the action cards that allow you to junk cards or upgrade them for better ones.
The 5-6 play expansion adds more tiles so it plays more like a 3-4 person game. The only difference is you have more trade partners and you can build on every turn.

Even with the expansions you still only play with 10 stacks of cards on the table.
