This is a good-looking app, having images of all the cards is nice and quick access to the wiki is handy. Having the setup info displayed is helpful also. My main recommendation would be to add the ability to “favorite” specific individual cards (similar to the ability to block), and be able to review favorites, select from them etc. Maybe even a setting to increase the chance of favorite cards being included in randomized sets? The ability to toggle force-touch vs normal tap would be nice also for those who don’t like using force-touch. Other than that, great app!

Thanks for the feedback! Be sure to check out the new 1.4.0 update, which lets you turn off force touch.Just installed, it’s nice to be able to look at all the cards in other expansions. So far so good. Wondering if there is a way to put a ratio of what games to pull from. I usually like to do a 70%/30% mix.
I have my cards sorted by cost, then alphabetically within the cost. The app allows me to sort by cost but it doesn’t display the cost of each card without clicking on each individual one. If the cost could be added to the display it would greatly help decrease my set up time. Thanks!
Love it and all its features. It is appealing to use and fun to show off/recommend to my “Dominifriends”.
A friendly heads up, here are some things I’ve noticed that you could possibly check out: When attempting to select “Reccommended Sets”, the app may freeze. This has also occurred when trying to view my history/recent games. I ended up deleting the app and re-downloading it, I then was able to view my “History” & save past games 👍.
One request: Is it possible to have a “Custom Kingsom Set” option to save custom games to a library of some sort? That would definitely be sweet.
Great work! Definitely my recommendation.

Thanks for the good word and the feedback! The new 1.3.0 update adds a "Pick Manually" option to the Expansions menu that you can use to design custom setups. You can then save your setup as a favorite or share it to the web. Also in 1.3.0 are memory optimizations that should help when viewing Recommended Sets and History.I really like this randomizer. Visually, it’s quite nice to look at and randomizes cards in a way that makes setup intuitive. For instance, by including all needed setup cards in addition to kingdom cards, it’s pretty foolproof. My one complaint is that you can’t set a maximum number of expansions to be included. There used to be a randomizer that allowed you to pick a max number of expansions (say, no more than 3 in a game) while still picking from them all, which I really liked.
Update: Wow, I left this feedback and the developer updated the app to take this into account and make the suggested changes. Talk about responsive! Already loving how this is changing my dominion play possibilities!

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback! Check out the new "Maximum Expansions" option in the 1.2.0 update's Settings screen, which can be used to limit the number of expansions used to generate playsets (the expansions will be picked randomly from those you selected). By default, this setting is off (no maximum), but you can change the limit to from 1-5 expansions.I’ve probably used most of the Dominion randomizers in the App Store, and this might be my favorite, just for the detailed game-setup instructions.
I have a few complaints though:
* It’s not always obvious how to go to a previous screen.
* On the starting view, seeing the artwork for an expansion means it’s *not* in the randomizer. I’m not sure what the right answer is here, but I don’t think this is it. My preference would be color picture = using, grayscale = not, but that presents some accessibility issues, so *shrug*
* An actual bug: The first kingdom I generated presented Sauna/Avanto and Avanto alone as separate piles. Split piles should have only one entry in the randomizer. Not sure what the deal is with other split piles or Knights.
I’d rate 4 stars if the bug were fixed and 5 if the UX issues are fixed.

** Update 11/13 ** Check out the 1.1.1 update: It should address some of the usability issues you called out. Thanks again for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback! The Sauna/Avanto bug should be fixed. I'm always interested in hearing new ideas to improve the experience of the app, and will be taking a look at the navigation and expansion selection in a future release. Until then, you should be able to swipe right from the left edge of the screen to go back (similar to what you can do with web pages in Safari).I've tried all of the available apps for Dominion randomization and this is by far the best! You can do first or second gen for the base game and intrigue as well as the promotional cards are available. Nice touches being that you can look at what the cards you don't have actually look like and it has some nice customization options based on preferences.
