You should send this option to Rio Grande Games (http://riograndegames.com/), the publisher of physical cards game (http://riograndegames.com/Game/1328-Dominion-Nocturne).

As far as I know Shuffle It as licence holder for the digital version did not particapted in any way in choosing the art. And I think that Shuffle It can't even use different art than the physical cards game.

You're right, that's more appropriate. Thank you.

General Discussion / Card Art

I want to mention how disappointed I am in the card art in the new Nocturne set. The satanic theme in some cards is disturbing. I've always loved how classy this game is in its art design and card names, even with terrible illustrations like "Borrow" and "Peasant". "Torturer", "Witch" and "Gravedigger" was as dark as this game ever got, and I could deal with that. "Den of Sin", "Devil's Workshop", "Necromancer", the plunging neckline on "Conclave", the disturbing and lazy "Torturer" theme copy of "Tormentor", the problematic "Exorcist", and the needlessly sexy "Vampire" make this set ridiculous. I can't introduce these cards to children the way I have with all of the others in the past. The new Night mechanic is wonderful, and the way "Necromancer" interacts with the Trash pile is creative. But the name and illustration of the card is a dealbreaker. I won't be using it.

1. Yes. Campaign was one of my favorite features on the old client. Offline would be excellent too.

2. Yes. Practicing against Big Money/Slog/Engine/etc. at will is a big boost to my learning curve.

3. Yes. I like a suggestion I read in another response, wherein users have access to the API so we can write our own bots. Having a handful of community-created bots (refined with feedback of their own) would give me another reason to pay attention to the forums. It may also solve problem 2, since some bot writers may be better at coding one play style over another.

4. Yes. This is huge for online play with real players, and would bring me there more often.

5. Yes.

6. Yes. Wonderful idea. I could get a handful of people online with me with this feature. But I'd only be able to bring them back for more if, as host, my entire subscription set of cards were available to all the players I hosted.

7. Yes, but as others suggested, only if the pop-up invite appeared in an unobtrusive corner of the screen and didn't cover up any other active buttons or info.

8. I don't need this. But if you really want, I'd use Latin and Arabic translations to continue studying those languages. The 8 or 9 folks I regularly play with would be interested in a Latin translation too.

9. I don't care. I use the game log to review what happened. I'm annoyed by long, sparkly animations that make me wait. Like when the bot plays each treasure individually, instead of all at once. I learn things in the way a bot sequences actions, but not in the way it sequences coins.

10. Yes. Being able to see the second half of a split pile at all would be an improvement.

10. Yes. As long as the Hide/Unhide button never moves from its original spot. If I suddenly experience lag, I don't want my mouse to register mystery actions because I clicked a button that changes its location when something else is toggled.

11. YES! A Dominion App on Android would immediately replace Hearthstone for me. As it is, Dominion is unplayable on my Nexus 6, which has a pretty big screen. The current layout doesn't allow me to scroll around the interface, which means some buttons are always hidden and inaccessible.

12. I don't use iPhones.

13. Cool. This would let me save those extra-special combos and situations.

14. Yes. Timed games would solve my problem with slow players, and being able to turn off chat would solve chat abuse for me.

15. I don't need it, even just for introducing new players. This is an easy game to pick up. However, it's a natural fit in the campaign format. If you make it part of the campaign, please make it optional.

16. I don't need it. Online resources seem adequate to me.
