Hopefully extremely minor/rare edge case - in game #68631540, both players used Inheritance on Conspirator.
We found that if we played Church, then Estate/Conspirator, it drew a card, despite being the second Action in the turn.
Unsure if this is just an issue facing the Church count, or the Inheritance.

Hi,
Thanks for the offer, name is DinoMcBatman.

My main priorities for improvement would definitely be in the form of an app of some sort (even if it is only a tablet one, as I understand a mobile would be painful for visibility), with some sort of offline mode. Alternatively, some sort of 'Pass and Play' mode would also be helpful, in a similar manner to other board game apps like Smallworld and Ticket to Ride. Personally I love Dominion, but without this functionality it is hard to get my friends into it (especially as I find it prohibitively expensive to buy the physical copies when I will realistically play it so rarely)

On the suggestions:

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Not fussed about the campaign, a better bot would be nice though

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
Not fussed, maybe for 3-4p games might be interesting to see different styles. Would prefer it just to play well though

3. A strong bot.
Yes please

4. Options for timed games
Not fussed, though I wouldn't mind it being quicker to allow a forced resignation when someone leaves (it really isn't hard to say you'll be away from keyboard and to let me know to wait for you if you legitimately have to leave)

5. Options for undo settings
Current model has worked for me, no complaints

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I have no friends :( But idea seems sound

7. Option to invite specific players to your table
I had assumed this was already possible lol. Yes please.

8. More translations (to what language?)
Not an issue for me

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
Not an issue

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Yes please. Also no options hidden in the log, thats just irritating to remember to look there.

10. Option to hide the log
Yes please. 'Real life' games don't give you a log, I think it tests you more :)

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Combining these with my comments above - yes yes yes

13. Downloadable game logs
Not a priority

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Blacklisting works for me, not sure how you would improve this

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Not my priorities, but in the interests of getting more people to play, I feel these are necessary (and could be combined with the campaigns if they are ever implemented)

Thanks again!
