I fail to get the nostalgia for the replaced cards. They rarely got bought in almost any kingdom, since they were generally not useful. I would rather the developers spend effort on other improvements, than implementing the replaced cards.

Being refound is within the realm of possibility yes, but then you'd first need to get lost again. :-)

I don't like the big red on white X for empty piles though. It doesn't fit the Dominion aesthetic at all. I assume that's for all intents and purposes a placeholder until they do better graphics.

I agree. Perhaps a monochrome card face could convey the same message. Something like the cards in "familiar cards" that have not been selected?

I'm glad that global chat is not planned. MF's feature was more of an annoyance than useful. Since the discord server is moderated, it should be a much better place for discussion.

But Dominion is still a card game, not a word game.

I think you have a fair point, that the game log should be incidental to the game play and that all information required to follow what you opponent has done on their turn, should not require reading a log. Stef has acknowledged as much himself. So one can expect improvements towards that I would think.

Still, your distinction made me think. Perhaps Dominion and card games in general are really word games at bottom? Although one doesn't need to implement them as text only.

This is why I have stated that Blizzard's Hearthstone is THE benchmark here.

Yes, maybe, but also a card game that has been online since 2014, so not really a fair comparison. I get that people had high expectations and feel disappointed, but frankly mine have been exceeded already, having been around long enough to know the Goko and MF issues.

Stick around, I'm sure the current UI issues are high priority.

* Way to sort the Tables List by age of game, # of players, and rating of player.

I think a filter would do better. I would never join a table that allows for up to 6 players.

* Public room with all players in it.  Ability to chat with anyone.

Sounds a bit like MF's global chat. Seeing "poop" repeatedly being posted and getting a ding! to draw attention to it, was quite annoying. Maybe a personal chat request with a compulsory topic and the option to decline could work for me.

* Ability to exclude certain cards.

This is planned with personal lists of cards that are liked or disliked.

* Equal # of turns option.  (i.e. phantom provinces)

Surely not, that's not Dominion. :-)

Lord Rattington cheerily trashes provinces with any trasher: http://forum.shuffleit.nl/index.php?topic=798.msg1904#msg1904.

It also loves counterfeit and will buy out the whole supply.

Your benchmark is Hearthstone. end of story.

I am not a Hearthstone player, but it appears that they also initially launched without support for iOS and Android. At least if the Wikipedia page is accurate.

@jdcw I fully agree. I'm getting a bit tired of the "I'm entitled to, since..." feedback. Sure, if you're a fan of the game you probably own physical cards and paid MF for their online offering, but ShuffleIT is really not obligated to offer the terms that MF had. 

As far as I know IPads are not currently supported, although they work for some it seems. Maybe try either Firefox or Chrome on a desktop in the meantime?

The bot is also known to sometimes trash provinces, which could decrease its VP.

If you have more action cards in your hand left when playing a hamlet, you can just proceed to play them instead of choosing to discard. Discarding with the buttons is optional.

You can right click to view the card.
