First Turn Cheat Sheet

I've analyzed all the action cards, but now it's time to see them all in one place. This table will give you a brief summary of the strength of each action card and which cards combine well with eachother. The table will help you to make a quick strategy, but keep in mind that Dominion strategy is a complex subject that can't be contained in one table. Use online research as a starting point, but focus on increasing your own experience and knowledge.

By the way, I call this table a "cheat" for a reason. Before printing this out and taking it to a game, ask your opponents if it's okay to use it.
