Re: Great game, awful name/branding
Dom:PPP (Dominions 1) had box art with a painting of a man looking down to a world, but it was so small one coulnd't really make it out. The box art could be improved a lot. The blue something doesn't even look like fantasy. Classic 'gods playing chess with creatures magic and mortal' would work much better, and almost anything else that would show up the tremenduos amount of everything in this game would work well, too.
I have known of Dominions games for a long time, from the times of Bogus Game Design, and I have noticed some other games with names similar enough to be mistaken. Unfortunately, these other games are better-known than Dominions. Especially the online game Dominions comes quite close to the description if one doesn't really know what he is looking for. However, the name suits the game and I have grown very fond of it.
