Example, we both had 1 witch each. The AI tool had the witch 6 times before mine turned up once. This isn’t possible. Same with Militia. Still enjoy playing though. ### 2/5 — Needs bug fixing and more app testing *2026-08-10, version 1.08.5* This app needs plenty of bug fixes and more testing because some things just do not make sense. Like the plain switch-offs—you know, when you are playing with your friends, like your first and your other friend, and then your friend, I mean next. The switch-off of the players, I guess, like the title—I do not know—there is something somewhere in there that is wrong because we get confused when it says. I wanted it to say my turn versus the other predator's turn, and then, when the turn is over, you knew that you were right, so you get confused like, why do I go again, or why do they go again? It just does not make sense, so please fix that. It needs to be fixed. ### 3/5 — One big flaw *2026-08-09, version 1.08.5* While the gameplay is great and seamless, the game is full of players who abandon games, however the clock timer makes you wait as long as 5 minutes before considering the game abandoned. Often players will slow play and deliberately wait 4 minutes before playing just to get under your skin. Idle times should he significantly reduced. Also, unlike the browser version of this game, you are unable to continue a game with bots if your opponent resigns mid game. This is a simple feature that should definitely be added. ### 3/5 — Great game, awful user interface *2026-08-03, version 1.08.5* I love Dominion, but this implementation is seriously flawed. Amy app that requires dragging things up from the bottom of the screen is badly written. Too often I wind up switching apps by trying to select cards from my hand. Can’t you just let me rap them and then give me a button that plays them? Also, why make me explicitly play my money cards? They should automatically be in play when I run out of actions. And more than once, because the two buttons are so close together, I have accidentally pressed both buttons”play treasures” and “end buys” at the same time, effectively forfeiting the buy phase of my turn. In short, the game is great, the AI is a tough opponent, it game play is terribly frustrating. Clean up the interface issues and I’ll give it 5 stars. As it is, three stars is generous. ### 2/5 — AI bot consistently cheats *2026-07-29, version 1.08.5* This game would be so much better if it were fair. The bot cheats constantly. It uses multiple buys in games where NO cards have +Buys. It also somehow managed to play 7 Black Cats from a hand that should only have 5 cards. Every game is unfairly weighted and it’s super frustrating ### 2/5 — Stop the blatant cheating *2026-07-21, version 1.08.5* As the title says, AI is BS! You could buy 5 of the attack cards, you’ll never see them until the last cards in your deck. Guess what the AI, it gets that card the next shuffle after it buys it. Single player game is sucks because of this. Fix the AI and you’ll actually have a game. Statistics/Mathmatics major in college, started tracking the 2 starting hands and attack card purchase vs being able to use. Guess what 68% of the time the AI gets the attack card first, even if you buy it two or three hands earlier. Also the AI statically will obtain the 5-2 hands (first two hands) 71% of the time if an attack is worth 5, otherwise if the attack is worth 4, shockingly all of the sudden, you the player will get the 2-5 hand when the 5 card is useless (that’s 63%, btw). Statistically, this game is broken, the AI has loaded deck, loaded opening hands and just sucks because of it. Play real people using the actual cards, you’ll never see the amazing luck the computer gets, especially the last move that just beats you by 1 point (that’s 59% of the games btw, that you’ll lose by one with one last monster hand the AI gets to win) ### 5/5 — Gold Standard *2026-07-18, version 1.08.5* This app is what every table top game adaptation should strive to be. ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-07-16, version 1.08.5* I’m so happy I can play my favorite deck builder on my phone. Pace is quick and the interface is immaculate. Love that there is pass and play and online play. Ten out of ten. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-13, version 1.08.5* Great fun and 1 time price is great ### 5/5 — Best boardgame app in the world *2026-07-11, version 1.08.5* Truly well built app partnered with the perfect game ### 2/5 — Shuffling can annoyingly glitch *2026-06-12, version 1.08.5* Fund game. Love it. Wish there was a sci-fi version. But the most annoying thing is a lot of the time the deck doesn’t shuffle and just kills a round ### 5/5 — Awesome Game for Friends *2026-06-05, version 1.08.5* Learned about this timeless game decades after it became popular. I currently play several games with a friend that live 800 miles away daily. The moment we get board we buy another expansion pack. Endless opportunities for fun. ### 5/5 — Great gameplay *2026-06-02, version 1.08.5* I’m impressed with how the board game translated into the app. Easy to play. Quite enjoyable game experience! ### 5/5 — Just perfect! *2026-05-26, version 1.08.5* Years of failed attempts at a digital version of Dominion and they finally succeeded beyond expectations here. Yes, expansions are a little pricey, but try the base game and see how well everything is implemented. So many fantastic options. Bravo!! ### 5/5 — Good enuf app 4 gr8 game *2026-05-09, version 1.08.5* Workshop Gardens ### 4/5 — Stop the forfeiting! *2026-04-23, version 1.08.5* Love the game itself - very easy to use and smooth play. However, it’s so annoying that so many people forfeit when you’re close to winning. I’m happy to watch others’ victories. I love getting a quick-no-fuss deck so there’s no excuse to forfeit when I’m on the winning turn. Can consequences be added to stop people forfeiting? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App Quits *2026-07-26, version 1.08.5* My app keeps quitting on the daily game. My iOS is up to date and so is my app. Please fix as the only reason I have this is the Daily game. With the daily game functioning, this is a 4 star app. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-07-11, version 1.08.5* Won’t stay online so you get kicked out mid game all the time. ### 1/5 — Much faster *2026-06-21, version 1.08.5* I have enjoyed this digital version of the game very much Because the games are shorter I have gotten a lot of practice. Now I am consistently beating my friends at the physical version. ### 1/5 — Bad AI algorithm *2026-04-11, version 1.08.5* The AI algorithm for this deck building game is too slanted in favor of the game when playing solo. Many times you will have a good lead going into the computers last turn only to have it pull off the best turn of its play and win by one point. This happens too many times to be coincidental. After a while you get the impression that the only time you win is when the algorithm allows it. The creators of this deck building game could learn a few things from Ascension deck building game which is much more user friendly. The only level you can win with any consistency is easy level. Maybe the online platform is better programmed than the solo AI platform. Cannot say for sure because, I do not play online. ### 1/5 — i would have bought upgrades, but huge bugs in accounting make free version really suck *2026-03-01, version 1.08.5* The game is a beautifully done version of Dominion, and should be really valuable for people learning how to play, to become a customer to all the cards, and some strategy. However in both easy and medium ai gameplay, I found important bugs that give your AI opponent a huge advantage, buying cards when it should be simply discarding. also counting coins (in excess) has been off several times. it’s not so much fun when you’re “opponent “is cheating! i’m revising this review down as i keep finding huge bugs in the way it lets AI opponents double (or more) spend coins. honestly, i don’t want to play it anymore. it would be so awesome if these critical bugs get fixed though. the screen layout is pretty decent for a game of this complexity. ### 1/5 — beautifully done, but significant bugs *2026-02-17, version 1.08.5* The game is a beautifully done version of Dominion, and really valuable for people learning how to play, to become a customer to all the cards, and some strategy.

I play with my family across the country, we’ll do a group call and play with the basic as well as with expansion decks for hours at a time. Recently, my account glitched out of a game mid round. When I opened the app back up, my account was gone. My ongoing games, my stats, all of it wiped. I found on Reddit that I could reconfirm my email and my account would come back. I did this multiple times, as well as checking for any other new accounts made that maybe it accidentally switched too. Not the case. My Hope with this review is that the developers of the game can get me back into my account. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Odds are broken *2026-01-03, version 1.08.5* I love Dominion, but the odds in this game are so broken! Increasing the difficultly doesn’t seem to make the CPU any better, it just gives them insane luck, and gives you awful luck. Using the same deck, I was on a bit of a losing streak against a single CPU player. So, I mixed it up and copied their strategy. Without any exaggeration, 8 times in a row, even whilst copying their strategy, they consistently got better draws and chained together combinations, meanwhile I’d be stuck playing 1 or 2 action cards. The game has regular glitches too, where cards won’t be visible unless you close the app mid-game and return to it, and I even have screenshots of times where the CPU has bought more than they should be able to on a turn, or where despite trashing a curse card, my points went down, instead of up. I have also had games where my deck seems to come out in the same order each time, as though it isn’t getting shuffled at all. The stats are also broken. I’ve never played a 5 player game, but have played 4 player games, yet the stats say I’ve never played a 4 player game but have played plenty of 5 player games. I’d say it’s just putting my 4 player stats in the 5 player field, but it’s not counting properly either. More annoyingly, it’s not counted a single one of my wins. Extremely disappointing to be plagued with so many issues, since Dominion is such a fun game. ### 1/5 — Odds are broken *2025-12-18, version 1.08.5* I love Dominion, but the odds in this game are so broken!
