this bug along with the annoying click without purchase bug has cost me a few rated games....not a fan of the current upgrade yet.

Once I place both project cubes out I cant see which color I am unless chat is on.  I believe this is most relevant with games without projects but with tokens (such as Lost Arts).

Can you put a colored outline around my name/mat window so I know which color I am?

The rating system you are using creates a rating pool based on Active Players.  You need to degrade the rating every month for inactive players with less than 1000 games.

There are players with high ratings who played at the outset of the game when the talent pool was minimal they won a few games got there rating up and then stopped playing. That doesnt reflect the current state of the active players

If I have a Gold Subscription how much will it cost to tac on this set til 2021 (end of current Gold subscription)

People need to get a grip.

All they need to do is add it to their personal ban list and they should be fine.

Not sure why anyone would want to ban Gardens.  What makes dominion great is the multiple layer of strategical choices....
Do I play attacks?
Do I play for the big cards?
Do I play to run the piles out?
Do I really need a second buy?
Will trashing be fast enough?
Are Provinces better than Colonies?
How many terminal actions can my deck handle in the first turn? the second turn?
When do I buy only green cards?

Those questions make the game interesting not what 2 cards are at the bottom of my deck after the 1st turn.

I have zero tolerance for players that curse and name call because they dont understand that when I draw the last 5 cards in my stack it means I will get the cards I havent got yet.

Players should be added to your personal blacklist (lightning bolt near the heart)

Please Ban

[Either way thanks for adding the feature.]

0% is so permanent sounding,

Perhaps 5% is more reasonable.

Or perhaps an option to not match with people who have cards on their banned lists that can be found on my favorite list.

Either way thanks for adding the feature.

I need to quit because I'm too stupid to win or even to learn from losing; all my games do is depress me without teaching me anything (again, not because most players don't have a lot to teach me; I'm just incapable of learning).  And before you make the obvious suggestion, I'm not brave enough to do that, and it would probably be an even worse example for my kids than I pose by existing.

Is this a sincere post...internet sarcasm escapes me?

[shuffle up and play again!]

I also feel that luck plays too big of a role when both players more or less know what they're doing.

I think you too have missed the point of Dominion.

The biggest element of luck happens in every game.  It is what one or two cards are on the bottom of your deck at the turn.  Sure good players can overcome this, but part of the game is risk management.  So luck is essential to the game.  Buying two terminal cards on your first two buys is risky.  You should loose because of this risk and you should get lucky when taking the risk.

But "luck" or lack there of is over-represented when handing out a grade for Dominion....

The prime component of the game is the speed of the game in proportion to the fun factor it offers.  So you lose/win on the luck of a draw - shuffle up and play again!  That is the whole point of the game.

The are other great games to be played like Dominant Species (by Chad Jensen) but those games dont play in a time format to shuffle up and play again.

So if the Strategy/Risk/Luck/Shuffle-Up-Play-Again combination doesnt scratch your itch find another game that does.  There are plenty of great games out there.  Dominion ranks among the best of all games because of the fun-time quotient, and by design is the best of class in deck builders.

Not surprising I am pretty sure he is on my ban list.  You can see why he chose his name.

[Banned List]

Banned List
Lurker
Catapult
Sauna
Ambassador
Haunted Woods
Donate

Disliked List
Chapel
Remake
Rebuild
Black Market
Governor

My Reasoning:
Lurker and Ambassador are game warping cards very rarely in a good way, if one player takes one, the other players need to follow suit - in most matches.

Catapult and Sauna are more often than their fair share tilt cards.  Catapult degrades quickly and isnt much fun to fight against.  There are matches where the lone Sauna player will be too slow or can be caught with a depleted deck  an exploited but in most matches this is the dominant strategy.

Haunted Woods - I like this card, but the Haunted Woods lock isnt worth playing with this card all that often.

Donate - I have abused this card way too often.  Donate/Robin Hood amoung the worse.  (Possibly should just be dislike - but for now a rest is warranted)

Chapel, Remake, and Rebuild  - In most games these cards are super under costed. 

Black Market - I think this is a weak card, but in paper I ban it as it is too slow.  Online it can be fun, but seems a feel bad for my opponents when they desperately cling to a multi-action or multi-buy game instead of occasionally enjoying the single action/buy game.

Governor - A somewhat interesting card, but it is a promo on the super strong side.  Im kind of tired of the choice to quick race or Gold/Rebuild-to-6xProvinces.

I would like to start a Friendly discussion to see what cards people have most added to their Banned/Dislike List.  I would like to keep this friendly though as everyone will surely have their favorite cards appear on others most hated lists.  Im interested in the reasons why in some cases, so I can ponder those thoughts to see if I agree (which for me does not always happen right away).

(By the way I want to thank the developers as I think this is a good way to do this feature - IMHO)

My lists to follow....

Why would someone want to ban Masquerade?
Seems like a fine card to me.
My opponent said it ruins the game?
I dont really see how.

Looking for discussion on the top...

I noticed that playing Priest with the Sewer project complete allows you to trigger a 2nd trash from hand but you dont get the +2 coin from the 2nd trash.  Is this the intentional timing interaction of the Priest card?
