Heh.  Didn't FFG invent game expansions?  :)  I suspect they could catch up to Dominion if they wanted to.  Dominion has five expansions now (only three of which I really care for).  I own Dominion and while there have been other contenders since then, none have been able to topple the king.  Thunderstone's okay to play, but I don't feel much in the way of deckbuilding there.  Still, there are plenty of people who'll opt for theme over gameplay.  I liked Puzzle Strike, but I didn't get many takers.  There's a small group in my my gaming circle who play Ascension all of the time, but I find it too simplistic and ugly as sin.  The verdict's still out on Nightfall, but my initial impression was so-so at best.  All of the other deckbuilders have been one-time wonders in the group.  There are interesting ideas down the line though.  I find FFG's Blood Bowl to be more interesting than RuneAge and I know LESS about it.    Actually, the "hottest" deckbuilding game for me that is coming soon is Quarriors, but I realize that's sort of bending the rules a bit.

As for using RuneAge to lure in RuneWars players, that's a tactic I can get behind.  :)
