Again we find a strong engine kingdom, this time with fun Treasures to ramp up payload quickly. With the AI building just a tad bigger than us, it does get really close in the end but we're just barely saved by our first player advantage. There were a few decisions that didn't feel super smooth (like the First Mate into Siren, and the Puzzle Box Province set-aside), and the somewhat early Provincing, but the latter seems to have paid off as it forced the AI to stall, allowing the three-pile that we won with.
Dominion is a deck building card game created by Donald X. Vaccarino.
Currently, there exist two online implementations: The browser and subscription-based Dominion Online (https://dominion.games/), and the multi-platform-, single-purchase-based client by Temple Gates Games (TGG), available e.g. on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1131620/Dominion/) and mobile appliances.
Here, we play on the TGG client, which offers free play of the Base game as well as a free daily entry into a randomly generated (with some restrictions) kingdom, where you get to compete against their AI.
