Times were tough. Recently, you moved from your castle to a nicely furnished gorge to save money. But the old, crumbling castle was no longer really to your taste anyway. Raiders constantly showed up, often at the most inconvenient times. Either the barbarians came, or the plague, sometimes both at the same time, and there were never enough chairs. Dark Ages is a Dominion expansion that has been re-released for the first time since 2011 and can only be played with a base game or the base card set.
