Times have been hard. To save on money, you have moved out of your old castle, and into a luxurious ravine. You didn't like that castle anyway, it was always getting looted, and never at a reasonable hour. And if it wasn't barbarians it was the plague, or sometimes both would come at once, and there wouldn't be enough chairs. The ravine is great, you get lots of sun, and you can just drop garbage wherever you want. In your free time you have taken up begging. Begging is brilliant conceptually, but tricky in practice, since no one has any money. You beg twigs from the villagers, and they beg them back, but no one really seems to come out ahead. That's just how life is sometimes. You are quietly conquering people, minding your own business, when suddenly there's a plague, or barbarians, or everyone's illiterate, and it's all you can do to cling to some wreckage as the storm passes through. Still, you are sure that, as always, you will triumph over this adversity, or at least do slightly better than everyone else. This is the 7th addition to the game of Dominion. It is 500 cards but is not a stand-alone. It adds 35 new Kingdom cards to Dominion, plus new bad cards you give to other players (Ruins), new cards to replace starting estates (shelters), and cards you can only get via specific other cards. The central themes are the trash and upgrading. There are cards that do something when trashed, cards that care about the trash, cards that upgrade themselves, and ways to upgrade other cards.

Some reviewers noted that the game, while good, may not be as uniquely original as other titles within its series, and the board quality is considered to be average rather than exceptional.
Why You'll Like It
The game is widely praised for its engaging abstract strategy, offering mechanics that are easy to learn yet provide significant depth and high replayability. Players consistently commend the game pieces for their excellent quality and durable construction.

Online Review Summaries:
Things to Keep in Mind
The expansion tends to make the game feel less balanced and longer due to overpowered cards, leading some players to prefer the original base game.

Things to Keep in Mind
However, a recurring concern is that the expansion can complicate gameplay and potentially slow down the game without adding substantial value to the experience.
Why You'll Like It
Players generally find this mini-expansion a welcome addition, noting it introduces a new movement mechanic that adds dimension to the game, particularly when playing with multiple expansions. It's also appreciated for including an extra tile from another mini-expansion.
