That's a bit of a large question. If you want a full explanation of how to play the game, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7WZMH-uzUI

It's a number of cards set out called kingdom cards. Then you get a set of cards starting and build a deck by utilizing an Action and a Buy in the turn.Different cards allow interaction and strategy, but it really takes a few plays through to get the hang of it. The directions provide a good example of play, but having someone who is familiar with the gameplay is helpful.

Even if you're not familiar with deckbuilding games, they aren't hard to understand. In Dominion, each player starts with a small deck of cards (10 in this case), and "buys" cards from a common pool during their turn (using treasure cards in their hand as currency), and adds them to their discard pile, which will eventually get shuffled back into the deck. There is a lot of choices as to what cards can be bought on each turn, so each player's deck becomes different as the game progresses.

We played it w/ a large group & it last about an hour & a half. You can speed it up a bit, the more people playing, the slower. When you choose players that will participate & dress the part it is the most fun!

No that doesn't matter. It is a game of strategy and each time you play you figure out some new tactic to help you win. Just know how to use your minor, major, and occupation cards. For me, bonus points are a key to winning the game. There are also video tutorials on YouTube to help you learn the game.

We have played it with adults, children, and a mix. You can change it up pretty easily, depending on how involved you want the game to be. It's fast playing and chaotic. More luck than skill so you don't have to really concentrate to play the game - definitely not bridge!

It really depends on how you define "fun". It'll certainly be challenging and a lot of the fun in this game is the feeling of trying to beat pretty significant odds. 3 might be a more decent balance, but you should still have a good time with only 2 players.

Roughly. It Depends on the number of people and just the general hands you are dealt. We've had games last under an hour, some games longer. It's a lot of fun regardless since the object of the game is to sabotage other players, so they can't get mad at you. Only get even. :D

This is a streaming game. My icon links to the internet to play... Not really what I wanted, but the game plays excellently. I hope that helps.

Definitely. This is the first game of this type I have played. Even being easily confused by game rules in general, I found this to be a breeze to pick up. It's really fun as well.

Maybe 10-15 minutes? We always play round after round though. It can be addicting!

This game is a lot of fun. It does help, if you have seen the show, to explain what's going on. However it isn't necessary. It is a long game about 4+ hours, and they're is a lot of strategy, so if that's your type of game go for it.

For full details on how the game is played with two people you can find the directions online on how to play the game with two players and you can get a general idea from that. My opinion on playing with two people is its all right for about 3 games then it starts to get boring. This game plays way better with 4 or more players just like most other games are too. But I still recommend the game to add to your collection of games. Easy game to teach and easy to play. Really fun game to play too.

There are a lot of variations to the game listed in the instructions which are suited for two players. The game is fun with two players but I think it's best with 3-4.

You can learn from the instructions that come in the box. There are many Youtube videos that show you how to play too. It's cool because it can be a different game each time you play.

I suppose by holding the play button down and fast forwarding as is true with most players............... Otherwise, not sure. But a good machine for the dollar.

There are quite a few rules and it takes about a playthrough in order to understand the game. Fortunately the rules are really well written and it comes with a tutorial rulebook as well as the complete rulebook.
