This is a really valid complaint, and it’s weird that I like Dominion anyway since this is my main problem with nearly every Euro game every developed.

But with Dominion, I kind of feel like Phileas Fogg sitting around playing whist with his gentlemen cronies. Once everyone gets comfortable with the game, it goes _very_ quickly, with most turns taking just long enough for a player to say, “market, market, whatever, whatever, eight gold, buying a province.”

And then everyone nods approvingly, somebody says “jolly good show, chap” and adjusts his monocle, and the game keeps going.
