Report glitch

Really love the app game, play it all the time.
Can’t figure out how to report a glitch that the card “possession” doesn’t work correctly. When you take control of the other players turn it doesnt allow you to do anything until it times out and forfeits the game.
Besides my notes about the glitch it really is good. I also like doing the daily to see which sets I might want to buy for real life.

Amazing game, definitely recommend!

I recently downloaded Dominion and have been playing it so often especially with my wife.

Its very well built and easy to learn.

However buying the expansions has been not possible for me, when entering credit card details to purchase expansions, the expiry date field cannot be changed - specifically the year not the month.

If the developers can fix this asap I’d be super keen to buy and try the expansions!

Worst Touch Controls of Any App Ever!!!

this app has the least intuitive touch controls I have ever used. I have a touchscreen pc with the steam version that plays out the same, but OMG it’s so much easier to play. I have to fight to select cards and it isn’t obvious where or how different effects want you to interact with the cards. It’s like a clunky app from 15 years ago, which is so bad when they made the pc version so clean and easy to use with both a touchscreen and a mouse. Omg it’s soo sad.

Needs improvements.

Don’t get me wrong, they did a great job on this game. However, I am very unpleased with the fact that after purchasing multiple expansions that when I “specify” cards to be randomly generated to play other people I am stuck with the basic game. Time and time again I am leaving the lobby because it gives me a full layout of the basic set. It’s annoying that I can not unselect the basic set for a randomly generated game. Furthermore I would love to be able to see some thing that allows to me to communicate with opponents like “GG” or “let’s go” some simple phrases to send to my opponent. Also it would be nice to see which of my friends in my list is currently online to I can invite them to play a quick round. If the developers did these simple things I would be more happy with my purchase. So far I have bought 6 expansions and plan on getting more. But I want changes

Have AI complete the game after forfeit

As the title states, when a player quits a ranked game, there should be the option to complete the game against the AI. It is frustrating to build an engine and then have a player quit on you because they don’t think they can win anymore. Let me finish the game against a bot.

When the opponent quits, what happens to our rankings? Do they lose rating? Do I still improve rating? It’s hard to tell.

So unbalanced it’s nonsensical

The game plays smoothly. No bugs. But the “Easy” AI is way too easy. I usually beat it by 75 points or more (not exaggerating). I once even beat the Easy AI by over 200 points. And sometimes the Easy AI won’t buy any victory point cards at all for the entire game! That’s no challenge, and no fun.

But I lose to the next AI level, “Medium”, 8 or 9 games out of 10. The AI gets just the right cards at just the right time. Losing most of the time, that’s not fun either. It really is ridiculous. I play a careful and thoughtful game against the Medium AI. And I’m way ahead. Then boom, the Medium AI gets all the right cards, and I lose.

Both the Easy and the Medium AI need to be adjusted. I shudder to think what playing against the Hard AI must be like. I haven’t tried, but it must be horrible.

On edit:

I’ve played more games, both Easy and Medium. Yes, it’s unbalanced. But it’s also interesting.

As I said earlier, the Easy AI is way too easy. But I’m noticing that on rare occasions Easy will put up a very enjoyable and spirited fight.

What’s going on? Maybe Easy just got the right cards. Or maybe Easy really is based on a good algorithm, and just needs to be tweaked.

Developer, please look into this.

Response from developer

We do the best we can to balance the AIs, but it is a tricky problem. Currently they are tuned to beat the next lowest level 65 percent of the time. Thanks for the feedback!

Victory points not displayed

I am playing the game and VICTORY POINTS are not displayed for both myself and AI, I think there is major bug or issue with the app.

Fantastic but Hard AI cheats

This is a brilliant implementation of the card game and I play it all the time. However I find the Hard AI frustrating (I enjoy playing the Daily challenge) because it blatantly cheats - always getting the exact cards it needs at the right time while you get all the wrong combinations of cards. This has been observed over hundreds and hundreds of games so it's not a case of luck or anything else.

Gone downhill

I used to really enjoy this game but it seems the AI has changed.
I played a basic game and even though the AI only had one militia, it came up every time. Is this a bug? (I replayed 3 times and this happened each time).

LOVE - but Bots are Broken

I absolutely LOVE this game and love how it plays on mobile. Easy to pick up and play anywhere, especially with friends.

BUT PLEASE FIX THE BOTS! None of them play some a human. The very easy and easy bots will never end the game unless you force them to so it’s borderline impossible to lose if you have a basic understanding of how the game works. And the Medium and Hard bots play almost to perfection. Even with scores not showing, they will know exactly how many points each player has and essentially card counts to know what’s coming. If they take any lead, even the Medium bot will not lose. The only strategy to beat them is to rush victory points and pray you draw well. Please fix the bots and make them play more like a human would.
