Some time ago Donald X. (the game's designer) made a "second edtion" of both the Base Set and Intrigue, where he decided to replace some cards that over time had turned out to be problematic for some reason with other cards. Thief was replaced by Bandit, a card that always gets you a Gold, for example.

You can find detailed info in the wiki at

http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Intrigue

Dominion Online usually uses the latest version of sets/cards, so the first editon cards not in the second edition are not in the card mix.

Done!

[do not click "Login"]

Somehow your game is "stuck" and you can't connect to it. What you need to do is the following:

1) Open "dominion.games" in an incognito (Chrome) or private (Firefox) window.
2) Enter your name and password, but do not click "Login"!
3) Instead, click the "Kick" or "Kick & Resign" buttons (in small print at the bottom of the side).

After that is done, you can close the incognito/private window and log into dominion.games as normal.

Thanks pointing that out, that is indeed not as intended. Will hopefully be fixed soon.

There is no way to show only some of the expansions your are subscribed to. You can show them by expansion, though, by clicking on the expansion name on the left (here: base set).



If you want to make sure that the kingdom will only consist of cards from given expansions, you can click on the checkboxes beside them:



That method can be used to learn new cards a few at a time. Say you want to test how Sea Hag and Lookout from Seaside play, but otherwise only use cards you know from Base/Intrigue. You mark the checkboxes as above, but select Sea Hag and Lookout from Seaside:



This will create a Kingdom with Sea Hag, Lookout and 8 random cards from Base/Intrigue.

I hope this helped, feel free to ask if something is unclear.

kieranmillar is right about there being errata:

Death Cart: Action - Looter, $4
You may trash this or an Action card from your hand, for +$5.
----------
When you gain this, gain 2 Ruins.

I re-read all the official rules of Dark Age... it's not clearly explained but for me this big +5 in the top of the cart means : "you have it whatever happen"

Yes, that's right, before the errata you always got +$5 (with the exception being under the influence of Enchantress).

.... whereas you decide to put it differently... In the online version, if I don't have another action card to remove, the +5 is not applied...

Well, this cart is totally useless in this situation...  ??? :'(

No, you can still trash the Death Cart itself like you could under the old wording (both the Action cards in your hand and the Death Cart in play will get a red outline in that case, indicating they can be trashed). What has changed is that the interaction with other errataed cards (the former "shapeshifters" Band of Misfits, Overlord and Inheritance) done at the same time was deemed broken.

Band of Misfits: Action - Command, $5
Play a non-Command Action card from the Supply that costs less than this, leaving it there.

You can play an errataed Band of Misfits and have it play a Death Cart in the supply. Under the old wording of Death Cart, you would now get +$5 with no penalty, because if you don't trash a card from your hand, the Death Cart in the supply can't be trashed. The original Death Cart was written under the assumption that it would be in play when played, so the penalty of trashit itself would always work. That assumption is no longer true with the reworded cards like Band of Misfits.

So Death Cart, Pillage and Embargo got errata to make them work "roughly as intended" when they where originally printed, even when facing the "new shapeshifter", that now work differently than before.

Thanks for the report, dingus_!

Yes this is a bug, gaing an Inn from the trash (like with Lurker) has unfortunately this effect of only being able to gain at most one of each Action card.

You don't need to create a new Google Profile or anything for that. In my description I need to backtranslate from my German Chrome, I hope it is understandable.

You need to click on that icon I indicated in my last post. Then a small window comes up that lists the existing profiles (likely only the standard one) and at the bottom should be a line "+ Add" that you can click (marked).



Then a bigger window comes up and you can choose a name (like "Dominion"), an icon (that is overlayed with the Chrome icon, so you can see which profile a given shortcut follows) and the option ("Create desktop shortcut for new user") is already checkmarked (at least for me).



Then you need to confirm with "Add" and you have your new profile and a new desktop shortcut with the chosen icon. If you open Chrome with that shortcut, you can change your settings and make the font size "medium" and set the magnification as you want. The card texts should be OK after that. Your normal profile isn't changed so it uses large fonts as before when you browse the web.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

Hello. Please can you change my username to ANW? If that's too short, AditiNW. Thank you.

Done (to ANW)!

Done!

It shows your 2P rating as 45.45 now for me, I guess you played few more games. Sometimes, when a certain sever is switched, it may take a while until new results register.

What rating does it show to you?

Somethine is strange with your results, I'm inquiring what may have happened.

First, I can recreate the problem on Firefox and Chrome. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do so that dominion.games uses the standard font size and every other website the larger font size  :( , but see my sugesttion at the end.

1) Yes. When I changed the font to "Large" in the Chrome settings, I get the same kind of problem that you showed. When I changed it back, it was OK again. I assume that will happen for you as well.

2) I don't think Mircrosoft allows different kinds of Edge on the same system, but I'm by no means an expert on this.

3) Yes, you can access that on that page and change the magnification of every website, but you can also change that per web page (as per CTRL-MouseWhelUp/Donw). Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the problem by itself: If you have the larger fonts enabled, then increasing the magnification just makes the unreadable card bigger, but the coin symbol is still above the text.

So from what I can see, the only solution right now would be to set the font size to normal while you are playing and change it back once you are done. Cumbersome, IMO, and if you want to read other websites while playing, they use normal font size.

One option to prevent that (which I use for myself with Firefox) is to create another profile in Chrome, by clicking on the little person icon in the top right:

That creates another profile, and all settings belong to a profile. So you can change the settings for this profile to work OK with dominion.games (setting font size to "middle", maybe increase magnification), but they don't affect your standard profile, that keeps whatever options you've chosen (like large fonts).

The "Add profile" dialog also creates a new shortcut on the desktop, which you can rename to "Dominion" and use it to start Dominion. It will create a new window, not a tab in your existing Chrome browser, but that's the only difference. This seems to me the most promising approach.

If that happens what you describe, that a player on reload can't find their own table, it seems a server doing the work between games has been switched/rebooted. That server is responsible for pointing a player back to their gameserver when doing a page reload during a game, and since it's now a new server, it doesn't know about the ongoing game.

Now I could reload the game, so you could continue it, but I'm also at a loss what to do at the time this problem happens.  :(
