Description
Menagerie has Exile mats that cards can be placed on. Each player gets one. To "exile" a card is to put it on your exile mat. Cards on your Exile mat are "in Exile."Cards on your Exile mat are yours; at the end of the game, include them when scoring. When you gain a card, you may discard the other copies of it from your mat.
Menagerie has Ways. Each Way gives Action cards an additional option: you can play the Action normally, or play it to do what the Way says to do. Playing an Action card with a Way means not doing anything the Action card said to do when played. Ways are not Kingdom cards, and cannot be bought; they sit on the table modifying the game rules.
Some cards in Menagerie have costs marked with a *. Some *s indicate variable prices. The card will explain when and how it changes.
Flavor
Dominion, that’s what you’re trying to achieve. This time with animals! They each have a lesson to teach, whether it’s how to spit really far, or what kind of grass tastes the best. It’s a lot to keep track of, but you’re like an elephant: you remember everything. And you’re afraid of mice. You’ve taken up riding. Horses are intimidating; they say you can lead a horse to water, but you haven’t managed it. So you’re working your way up, starting with dogs. So far so good; the dog hasn’t bucked you off yet.
Your menagerie got off to a poor start, with just a goat, two rats, and the adviser who suggested starting a menagerie. You couldn’t get that fox you wanted, but it was probably bad anyway. Now you’ve got some camels, which are just as useless for sewing as you’d been warned, and a turtle that can hold its breath for longer than anyone can stay interested. Soon the animal kingdom will be yours.

User Reviews
Probably a perfect expansion given its intricacy to satisfaction ratio, but be warned that it is one of the more complicated and difficult to master sets. Get a friendlier set like Hinterlands if you're still new to this. With Menagerie, you will lose a lot... but you will become a better Dominion player too. 'Ways' get a lot of hate, but you will come to appreciate that Ox when you desperately need him.
Menegerie is a bit of an underated expansion, mostly due to people hatred towards Way.
Horse: An interesting gameplay surrounding filling your deck with strong and temporary card. And it is a good way to interact with Way - changing effects of an easy-to-get cards. Horse itself is also a good foundation for different mechanics - from Kingdom supply itself, to Way effects and Events.
Way: Most players hate Way after playing them and i can see why. The way it implement - you need to press the Way before the Action, cause you to forget to use Way sometimes. I like some way changes how you think about the game, especially the ones that depend on the original effect.
Events: Event come back after its implement in previous DLCs.
Cost reducing effects: Right now the cost reduction effects is quite limiting. There is just only so many kingdoms you can use. But I guess because I dont own a lot of DLCs, I didnt find good kingdom setup for them. With the right effects, some of the cost reducing effects really shine.
Overall, Menagerie is very thematic with mechanics that synergy in design, but flexible enough to use with other mechanics. There may not be a lot of single-card fan-favourite here, but you are welcome in an ecosystem of kingdoms that is very well designed. If you can only buy one expansion, you will have a blast with this expansion.
Hormse is in it... What more could you ask for
