EmDo is more of a role selection game than a deck building game. Aside from techs, you'll mostly be adding cards you don't want to your deck, and much of the deck building aspect is actually in thinning out undesirable cards you're forced to add to your deck. In sharp contrast with other deck building games, where you buy cards (usually ones that you want in your deck), most of the cards added to your deck in EmDo are added as a consequence of selecting a role. It's more similar to Race for the Galaxy, Glory to Rome, or even Puerto Rico than Agricola, but I can see the argument that it's closer to Agricola than it is to Dominion.↧
