Dominion started the genre, and it has a ton of respect from me because of that. However, it feels too same-y after a couple games since rushing provinces and action card is almost always correct, barring setups with a ridiculous number of attack cards. Even then, you want Action cards so you can actually use your Moats. And screw the Curse cards.

Ascension has more RNG with its center row and dual resource system, but I find it much more fun to play because strategies are more dynamic, and counterplay more explicitly exists. Sometimes you can rush down the Honor pool by punching everything in sight with Void. Sometimes you assemble a wave-motion Mechana cannon that is worth a million points on its own. Sometimes you go Lifebound-heavy and get to use both resources simultaneously. All of these are legitimate roads to victory, and the race to scrap for pieces of your own engine or to deny an enemy a piece of theirs is way more thrilling to me.
