Penny Arcade Deck Builder is to Dominion what DC Deck Builder is to Ascension.
Dominion does not have boss loot or "Touch Wieners", so Penny Arcade: GvE wins! That and I can actually play that game on my iPhone, lol.
But great review, Hank! I totally agree with you. I bought Ascension about a year ago, and have played it with my brother, where he hated it because once you get certain combos out, you can be quite unbeatable. Then I played it with my wife, but she thought it was a bit too complicated.
Then my wife got me DCCDBG for Christmas, and we played it over this past weekend, and we will probably not ever be playing Ascension again, as DCCDBG does what Ascension did for us in a much more interesting and streamlined way.
I'll still probably play Ascension on my phone, though. I'd really like to see Playdek make a DCCDBG app, though, but that license might be too much for them. Plus I know they have a ton on their plate already, but Cryptozoic made the Penny Arcade game, so there is hope. And with that game on my phone, I couldn't care less if an official Dominion app ever comes out. That, and I have both the unofficial Dominion app AND the Gundabad knock-off if I ever feel the need to play Dominion on my phone, which I won't, thanks to Playdek and Cryptozoic.
