I would be all up for playing the final with an even number of games until one player has won more. If it takes 20 games, it's going to be legendary.  8)
And I wouldn't mind that also in earlier rounds, although I understand that you want to have some upper bound.

But I don't see how playing an 8th game only after a draw is fairer than the current rules. If you could choose to go first and have to win, or to go second and a draw suffices, who would want to go second?

With an odd number of games, one person will have to go first more often than the other. Ideally, you want the choice of first player in the last game to not affect the win probabilities ex ante. Having the rule that a 3.5-3.5 is enough for the second player makes this choice a bit less relevant.

I fully agree with drsteelhammer's reasoning. (I was about to post the same).

Regarding the fewer turns over the whole match: a usual 2 player game ends on the turn of the winning player - and I wouldn't resign on my own turn in that case. So after 6 games with equal number of starts and wins, the number of turns taken will be the same. And if game 7 is a draw, they also took the same number of turns. So the criterion will usually not break a tie.

I don't believe you can exclude specific cards at the moment, which is pretty unfortunate.

A way to do this is the familiar cards feature. You would have to trust though, that your opponent doesn't mark cards unfamiliar that you want to possibly be included.
All this can be done when creating a Table using the Advanced Options.

Regarding game 7, I think that it is kind of a win if the second player gets to a draw. So I would be rather worried that it's too big of an advantage to be the (random) first player. But I don't think that there's a way around which doesn't involve potentially playing a lot more games.

Regarding the integrity of the leaderboard, I find it interesting when someone wants to give away some free wins to opponents but worries about setting the starting player.

In!

Yes, that works. Even with 0 buys, you have the right to spend your coin tokens so the interface waits for your decision.

But there's no reason to not have the "End Turn" button show up as well. I tried the same thing with treasures still in hand: then you get the additional choice of autoplay treasures / no treasures but still no end turn button.

You can also click instead of mouse-over.

Kick & Resign should always work - in what sense does it not work?

You should
1) open dominion.games in a private browser window to avoid automatic reconnecting
2) enter your username and password but DON'T click Login
3) click Kick & Resign at the bottom of the page

When there are 2 effects happening at the time, you can choose the order according to the rules. In these cases, the interface asks you to choose at the bottom of the log.

In your case, the two effects are
1) drawing 3 cards
2) set aside the trashed card, because you're possessing

In this case, of course the order doesn't matter and you could click either first.

You can't save the kingdom in the client, but it's easyto create a Table with the required cards, if you save the names of cards on your computer:
1) New Table
2) Create Table
3) Advanced Options
4) Select Kingdom Cards
5) Paste the name of cards in the "Enter cards to include" textfield. For example: Cellar, Market, Merchant, Militia, Mine, Moat, Remodel, Smithy, Village, Workshop
6) Click Done and you can start the game by clicking ready (potentially after adding bots or waiting for opponents)

Du musst "Kick & Aufgeben" durchführen, BEVOR du dich anmeldest.
1) entweder Cache leeren oder privates Fenster öffnen
2) Nutzername und Passwort eingeben
3) unten auf "Kick & Aufgeben" drücken

Das Problem ist nicht dein Account an sich, sondern dass er offenbar in einem korrupten Spiel gefangen ist.

Du kannst das Spiel durch "Kick & Aufgeben" beenden. Am einfachsten in einem privaten Fenster auf der Startseite deinen Nutzernamen und Passwort eingeben und unten auf "Kick & Aufgeben" klicken (nicht Anmelden).

That's a (potential) issue of the lose-track rule: when you gain the first Villa, you have to click "Villa" first instead of "Call Duplicate" to put it in hand (yes, there should be a clearer text for that). Then, you can call Duplicate and have both Villas in hand. If you first call Duplicate, the second Villa will briefly cover up the first one in the discard pile, which prevents the movement to your hand afterwards because it was lost track of.

You are already able to play rated games against friends (or anyone who joins your table), if you set the game as rated in the advanced table options.

The only thing that is not possible is to challenge them when they're online. What you can do is to follow your friend to a table, if they are already playing/spectating and use the chat to arrange something.

But nobody ever mentioned or complained that they cannot actually choose that card which gets 'shown' to their opponents.

It's the card you click last. But as far as I know, you can't influence which card from your hand ends up on top of the discard pile in clean-up. This sometimes gives away terminal collision on turn 3 or so.

You can see the message again if you click on Inbox on the bottom right - unless you deleted it before.
