Dominion: Dark Ages

I like the Dark Ages expansion, though the first few times it seemed to drag because it is so hard to gather currency. It has a learning curve, but seems to offer more of a variety to the base game than other expansions.

Many cards have effects that trigger when they are trashed. A more complex set.

Fun little expansion I guess, I think the ruins cards are a nice alternative to curse cards. And I love the Rats! I can't wait to play with them again.

However, I don't think I like dominion enough to like playing the game against experienced fast players. Its just not fun for me. But the rat card is cute and would be a prerequisite for playing dark ages again. Well that and an absolute requirement that I will play at my slower pace. (A rule I'm going to institute at Puerto Rico also).

Less of the same, only more so. UPDATE after a few more plays: this one is growing on me. Rating uptick to 8.5
