Well, live and learn, then. It seems like something better ought to happen. Perhaps undo requests could time out after a minute or so if the other play doesn't respond? Or perhaps a notice that you're about to become subject to a forced resign.

I was playing game 106339605 on frankfurt (my ID is Scott S). I submitted an undo request which my opponent seemed not to be answering. After a while the "Undo request was denied" message appeared at the exact same time that the popup appeared saying that I had resigned. Don't know if this was somehow a trick of my opponent to make the game time out on me, but I certainly had no intention of resigning. I was waiting on them to answer the undo request the whole time.

I had this problem today. I was using Chrome, and reloading the page didn't fix it. However, when I switched to Edge the login button worked.

Thanks, I see that you are correct. To verify, I tested it with the Fortune not being the last treasure played, and in fact the BMs go away whatever that last treasure played is, when there is debt.

I agree with Markus that it's odd not to allow you to repay debt in the buy phase just because the BMs have been played. But that's not too bad of a limitation.

I think you're right about the debt. I tried it in a new game without debt, and the Fortune play worked just fine. Then I tried it again in another game. I did it first without debt, and it worked fine. Then I tried it a second time with debt and it did what it did before--interestingly, though, I had two Fortunes, and the first Fortune worked just fine. But when I played the second Fortune, all the BMs disappeared as before. The game number of this one is 20294391 (sorry, I don't have the number of the first one; all these games were against Lord R).

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it's not what I expected:

Playing in a game with Capitalism, and having bought it, I then had multiple Black Markets that I waited to play in the buy phase. I played one, and then a second as a treasure before selecting my purchase for the first BM. When I played the second, another BM selection of three cards pops up. I then played a third BM, and the same things happens. This is actually very cool, because I got to see all the BM cards for all the BM plays before choosing any to buy.

So far this seems reasonable. But then after I played my last BM (I think I had 5), I then played my Fortune, thinking, great, I can double my money before making my BM purchases. But when I played it, all the BM cards went away, as if I had selected not to buy anything from any of them. I was still in my buy phase, with my money doubled, but I couldn't make the BM purchases at that point.

Bug?

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots

I would love this. I like playing real people sometimes, but games are so much quicker against bots. I don't care about "campaigns" really, though (the story lines were stupid, though it was nice to have a sense of progress). What I'd like is a level system for bots (i.e. the higher the level the smarter the bot is). And then the system tracks how well you play against the different level of bots. To be ideal, you'd need some really good bots (or maybe bots that get advantages, like some of the MF campaigns had).

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles

Sure, that would be good, but different skill levels is more important.

3. A strong bot.

If this means a really smart bot, yes.

4. Options for timed games

Don't think I care about this.

5. Options for undo settings

Yes, I would like this. Take the human decision out of undos.

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.

I doubt I'd use this, though it sounds cool.

7. Option to invite specific players to your table

Same as answer to #6.

8. More translations (to what language?)

I'm fine with English.

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...

Please don't waste your time on this.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...

Yes, especially split piles.

10. Option to hide the log

Don't care.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)

I suppose. I'm kind of skeptical that Dominion will work well on the small screen.

12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)

Same as #11

13. Downloadable game logs

Just make it so you can see them at the end of the game. Downloadable would be good, too, I guess.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)

Don't care much. I haven't had many problems with this.

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion

I don't care about it, but I'm sure it would be helpful for attracting new players.

16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.

Same as #15.

I was having intermittent problems for a while and now it's been out for 10 minutes or so...

I wish it was simply a rule: If no new information has been revealed, an undo is allowed; otherwise it is not. No asking the other play for permission, and no denying it. I hate it when people ask for an undo after I've already started playing cards (especially if they then get mad when I deny it), and on the other hand it's annoying for people to deny undo requests in easy-mistake kind of situations.
