One of my favourite games. It is fairly quick to set up, not too long to play but always interesting.
There are about 8+ sets now. My recommendation would be to buy the first 2, the original and Intrigue.
Each set has all the base money & victory cards. One set is for 2 - 4 players but you can expand to 8 with both sets. In each set you get 25 different actions cards, so 2 sets gives you 50. In each game you use 10 sets of these cards along with money & victory cards which you can select or randomly deal. So each game is very varied with different tactics.
The idea is to build you deck from your starter deck. You start by dealing yourself a hand of 5 cards from your deck. You can take an action (assuming you have an action card) and you can make a buy with the money in your hand. This way you add more and more cards to your deck, providing expanding actions & purchasing power as the game progresses.
One word of warning - don't add victory cards to early in the game, they clog up your hand & make it increasingly difficult to get more!
Good game!
