Dominion
Play it on: Windows, your dining room table
Current goal: Have the most fun anyone’s ever had
I know there’s Armored Core VI, Baldur’s Gate 3, and now Starfield for me to play, but if I’m being honest with myself, the only game I care about right now is 2008 deck-building board game Dominion
Its 30-minute sessions—in which you play actions and make purchases to overcompensate and amass land—are perfect for people like me, who prefer to strategize on the fly. This becomes more complicated once you introduce one of the game’s many themed expansions, like animalistic Menagerie or watery Seaside, to your base game, but I love experimenting with card combinations in pursuit of unlocking the most fun Dominion game possible. I could do it for hours. I’m throwing my PS5 into the ocean. – Ashley Bardhan
