What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Dominion Big Box 2nd Edition is the version specialist communities point new buyers toward when shelf space and budget allow. The BoardGameGeek listing confirms the contents — Dominion 2nd Edition plus Intrigue 2nd Edition plus extra base cards to support 5–6 player games — and r/boardgames threads repeatedly call it 'great if you have the space,' citing the included insert and the value of getting Intrigue bundled in. The disagreement worth surfacing is from r/dominion itself: some posters note the box has no room for further expansions once you start collecting them, so the storage insert that sells the Big Box also limits its long-term usefulness as your collection grows.
What reviewers liked
- BoardGameGeek and r/boardgames consensus: best entry point if you want Dominion plus a strong first expansion
- Includes Intrigue 2nd Edition and extra cards for 5–6 player play
- Storage insert organizes the full contents, per r/boardgames posters
- 4.8 Amazon average across 1,955+ verified reviews
Where it falls short
- r/dominion threads note the insert has no room to absorb further expansions
- r/boardgames posters argue 5–6 player Dominion 'spreads cards too thinly' and prefer 2–4
- Significantly more expensive than the standalone base box; overkill for casual players
Across the reviewers we read, the Dominion Big Box 2nd Edition is the version specialist communities point new buyers toward when shelf space and budget allow.

The disagreement worth surfacing is from r/dominion itself: some posters note the box has no room for further expansions once you start collecting them, so the storage insert that sells the Big Box also limits its long-term usefulness as your collection grows. Others on r/boardgames push back on the 5–6 player support, arguing the cards 'spread too thinly' at higher counts and that Dominion plays best at 2–4 regardless of how many seats the box officially supports.
Verified-purchase data (4.8 stars, 1,955 reviews) is consistent with the community read. The Big Box isn't a different game, it's the most economical way to buy two of the most-recommended Dominion boxes at once.
- Contains Dominion
- 2nd Edition and Dominion: Intrigue 2nd Edition
- Contains additional base cards to allow 2-6 players
- 30 minute playing time
- Compatible with all Dominion expansions
The big box is quite big, but it comes with a nice insert for sorting all the cards (no room for further expansions though). Big bix is worth it ...
There's the big box that sells the base with Intrigue and extra cards for 5-6 players, but it seems like you only bought Intrigue.
