Dominion: is Big Money still viable in 2026

Friend called Dominion solved and I beat him three games straight with the most braindead silver-gold line because the kingdom had no real pressure.

He said I was 'playing wrong on purpose.' I said the score sheet doesn't have a morality column.

Serious question though: at what skill level does big money stop being a legitimate threat you have to respect? I'm not trying to go pro, just settle a petty argument.

If you want to drop specific kingdom cards that hard punish it, go ahead — we mostly play with randomizers and occasional curated nights.

Also yes I know there are a million expansions. We own Prosperity and Seaside if that matters.

On random kingdoms sometimes yes. vs skilled players with engines no. its a teaching baseline

Big money is a floor not a ceiling. if nobody attacks your plan you deserve the win

@newbie_nora mostly silver/gold/province with minimal actions. boring but educational
