ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Arkham DeckbuildeR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arkham DeckbuildeR has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Dominion Minion's written reviews are positive against 33% of Arkham DeckbuildeR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dominion Minion ships an update every 2 months, Arkham DeckbuildeR every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
