			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some basic strategies for Dominion.</p>
<h3>Big Money</h3>
<p>Buy the best treasure you can afford each turn, or a Province. This is a basic strategy that will not win you many games, unless you're playing against new players.</p>
<p><strong>1-2:</strong> No buy<br />
<strong>3-5:</strong> Buy silver<br />
<strong>6-7:</strong> Buy gold<br />
<strong>8+:</strong> Buy Province</p>
<h3>Grand Smithy</h3>
<p>Buy Smithy until you have 3 of them. Otherwise, buy the best treasure you can afford, or a Province. This will always beat Big Money, because Smithy is usually a much better buy at 4-5 coins than silver.</p>
<p><strong>1-2:</strong> No buy<br />
<strong>3:</strong> Buy Silver<br />
<strong>4-5: </strong>Buy Smithy, limit 3<br />
<strong>6-7:</strong> Buy Gold<br />
<strong>8+:</strong> Buy Province</p>
<h3>Chapel Strategy</h3>
<p>For turns 1 and 2, buy Chapel and Silver. After that, chapel away all coppers and estates you draw, while buying silvers and easing into another strategy, usually buying treasures and +card draw.</p>
<h3>Turbo Remodel</h3>
<p>This strategy means forgoing most card buys other than Remodel. When you start out, getting a Silver and a Remodel are optimal buys. Then,make the following Remodels:</p>
<p>Estate -&gt; Remodel<br />
Remodel -&gt; Gold<br />
Gold -&gt; Province (Once the game is close to ending, unless you can use the Gold to buy a Province that turn)</p>
<p>Good support cards include Cellar, Throne Room, Village, and Chapel, which all make your Remodels more reliable and more frequent.</p>
<h3>Other Tips</h3>
<p>Don't buy too many actions that don't themselves give +actions. Otherwise you're at risk for drawing multiple actions when you can only play one of them.</p>
<p>When players start buying Provinces, carefully take note of how many each player has bought, and how many are left. Once there are about 1-2 provinces left per player, it's time to stop buying cards that don't give you +Victory, because there won't be enough time to draw any new cards you buy.</p>
