Dominion Campaigns: Plunder 9 - Landing Vassals

In this series, we dive into the newly added TGG campaign mode, trying to work out the best strategies against the Hard AI. Each campaign offers 10 curated kingdoms which come with some twisted game mechanics. We find an interesting kingdom without thinning - and still it went by really quickly. There are powerful synergies between Landing Party, the Treasurified and Durationified Vassal, and Silver Mine, where the latter unfortunately has the Rich Trait associated. The AI seems to play this one quite well, outracing us in our first try as we are not able to draw reliably enough (and I maybe had a few questionable decisions, such as not playing the Landing Party around 6:40). In the second playthrough we play a tad more focused, but it's still very close. Overall I'm not too unhappy with how this went - gotta give it to the AI for playing this one relatively well :) 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. Campaigns against the AI can be played once the appropriate expansion is bought.
