You have been crowned king of a beautiful little country of rolling hills, winding rivers and fertile farmlands. Life could be so beautiful, but unfortunately there are disputes with surrounding states. Various princes try to expand their kingdom at the expense of each other! Only one will win... In Dominion you try to form the strongest possible deck during the game, so that you have the most points at the end of the game. The cards in your deck always rotate from your draw pile to your hand, after which they go to your discard pile. When your draw pile is empty, shuffle your discard pile so that you have a new draw pile. Each turn you may perform 1 action and make 1 purchase. Every turn you buy additional cards, so you can achieve your goal in your own way. Do you go for a constructive method with the Forge, the Village and the Market, or do you try a more aggressive way with the Witch or the Militia? Because only 10 of the 26 kingdom cards are used in each game, Dominion is different every time. The Games Friends: “ If we could only take a few games to a desert island, Dominion would probably be one of them. Due to the enormous number of expansions you can keep rotating and have a different game every time. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!"

Once a year, the best miracle doctors and proselytizers come together in Kakelenburg to brew drinks against sweaty feet, homesickness, hiccups and heartbreak. However, every quack cooks his own soup here. Each player draws ingredients from his own supply bag, composed during the course of the game, until he thinks his drink is perfect. But be careful: a few popping peas and the whole drink will explode. So it is better to stop in time and cook a smaller portion and use the proceeds to purchase valuable ingredients. In this way, the supply bag fills with more and more useful ingredients, which may make the next drink even better and earn more points. In this game with more than 2000 combination options, the proven deckbuilding system is combined with the popular “push your luck” mechanism. The Games Friends: “ The Kwakzalvers van Kakelenburg is a fantastic game, where you have to make many tactical choices and need a little bit of luck.
