It was around 2010 when I played my first game of Dominion. Fifteen years later, and I’m happy to say that my Dominion collection is now complete! (until the next expansion is released).
For the non-nerds reading this, Dominion is a strategic deck-building card game where players compete to build the best deck—or “kingdom”—and gain dominion over their rivals. With endless combinations and near-infinite replayability, it’s endlessly addictive and just plain brilliant.
Now, twenty-seven years since its release, Dominion is widely considered to be the most influential and best-loved deck-building game of all time. (Though my Magic: The Gathering-obsessed sons might beg to differ.)
So what does a complete Dominion collection look like? It includes the Base Game, all 16 expansions, the Upgrade Kits, and all the Promo cards. That’s over 6,000 cards—and I sleeved every single one of them.
I shudder to think how much this has all cost me, but between the countless hours of family fun and the fact that it will one day be a treasured heirloom, I’d say it’s money well spent.
Of course, with this many expansions, storage becomes a serious challenge. So, I turned it into a bit of a holiday project:
– I printed and laminated custom dividers using Sumpfork’s free online generator, and trimmed them all neatly with a corner cutter. It took ages—but honestly, it was incredibly therapeutic, especially with a good audiobook or Netflix show on in the background.
-Then I ordered two custom-branded wooden boxes from The Wooden Box Shop, gave them a good sanding, and finished them with oil.
-Finally, I crafted interior dividers from black foam core (you can check out the tutorial I used here from Esoteric Gamers).








And yes—I’m ridiculously proud of this setup.
