Different Card Games And Instructions

Dominion set ideas, please?

I’ve bought the Dominion base set and the Intrigue expansion. Me and my friends have played the presets on the instructions to death and simply choosing ten random cards leads to a boring game where only around three different types are bought and used. Does anyone know where I can find some more setups?

First of all, with Dominion and Intrigue alone, you can usually use way more than 3 actions only. The actions I’d consider worthwhile in the two sets together (under some circumstances) would include:
-Moat
-Secret Chamber
-Laboratory
-Market
-Torturer
-Village
-Mining Village
-Swindler
-Saboteur
-Witch
-Smithy
-Chapel
-Festival
-Bridge
-Baron
-Steward
-Thief
-Adventurer
-Cellar
-Moneylender
-Mine
-Minion
-Trading Post

That’s about half of the actions (and some of the other actions are ones I don’t like, but other people do). There are way too many useful cards for you to simply ignore them. For example, if you think Chapel is underpowered, you are clearly doing it wrong. Anyway, you can either buy Seaside or Prosperity (do not buy Alchemy), or you can simply use the following change in setup:

Once you’ve selected 10 random actions, look at all of them, and ask all of the players, “are there any actions here that you would never buy (ex. Secret Chamber without any attack cards)?” If the players come to a consensus, then take that card out and turn over another random card. Repeat if necessary.

Here’s a setup that you also might want to try:
-Ironworks
-Gardens
-Tribute
-Nobles
-Great Hall
-Library
-Minion
-Coppersmith
-Baron
-Cellar

This particular setup has a nasty combo deck hidden in it, but has lots of strange cards otherwise.

Another idea is to play a game with all attacks (you need Seaside for this to work optimally), and no Reactions (or Lighthouse). Make sure you play with Ambassador if you can!

Otherwise, in most of the setups in the rules, there are actually multiple ways to build a strong deck. See if you can find some of the less obvious ones!
