A great game for adults. (don't know if good or not for kids, I expect teenagers would like it).
My 27 year old oldest daughter introduced it to us and now everyone in the family enjoys it. Several of us have bought our own edition. It's interesting how the cards selected at the beginning of the game change how it is played.
Both this and the other stand alone version of the game are wonderful. It's a card game and is also similar to a strategy board game, because you draw cards from 16 different stacks to allow you to win. Very interesting.
Similar to Risk, but doesn't take as long. Each game is 20-30 minutes for 2 people or 40-60 minutes for 6 people.

Dominion Intrigue is slightly more interactive than the original Dominion. Cards like Masquerade and Spy keep players engaged in the action even if it's not their turn. Intrigue also includes some victory cards that are functional during the game, which is a nice mechanic. My favorite card is Secret Chamber, which can be a powerful counter to some attacks.

Expansion to the popular Dominion Card Game, Intrigue adds a whole host of new ways to mess with your opponents. This set create some interesting synergies with the base set and adds several fun tactical elements to the game. This set seeks to further strengthen Dominions greatest attribute: re-playability. Strongly recommended for any who have the base set and enjoy it.

Dominion: Intrigue is a great game to play as a stand alone game or in combination with the original Dominion set. The additional cards represent a whole new playing field and challenge for the game overall. I really like the very noticeable difference between Intrigue and Dominion. While it is an expansion to the original set it also presents a uniquely different playing style and set.

Before I get into reviewing this game - my personal experience says if you only have money for either Dominion or Dominion: Intrigue (either is playable on it's own), you're better off with the base Dominion game. The replay value is just as good and it has a lot of basic cards that the Intrigue expansion fails to make up for.
If you've played Dominion then you already know what to expect from this game. The biggest surprise here are the 3 sets of combo cards (2 victory/actions and 1 victory/treasure). Other notable features include cards with the ability to chose between several options and host of new cards designed to interfere with other players.
While it is important to note this box has all the cards necessary to play the game on it's own and over 3 million possible unique game scenarios (with 25 'special' cards, choosing 10 cards at a time) this game is much improved when combined with the base Dominion game, resulting in well over 12 billion unique scenarios (that's 51 special cards, still choosing 10 at a time). The replay value of Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue is truly unique.
