I play once in a while and have seen new features which are improvements for quality of life e.g. autoplay for travelers. I really appreciate your hard work.

Here is a perspective from a casual player.

These would be really useful for me:

7. Option to invite specific players to your table
I would love to have an easy way to invite my friends.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
It's kinda awkward at the moment.

13. Downloadable game logs
I've learned a lot from gamelogs under MF implementation. Learn from mistakes/better players.



These would be nice to have but I probably don't use very often:

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
3. A strong bot.

I enjoy playing with human more than bots. I would play with bots replacing resigned opponents. If the campaigns are challenging, I would definitely enjoy them.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)

I haven't tried playing on iPhone in a while but if there is a native app (or playable on browser), I would play it more during commutes or to kill time.



I don't have a need for these features:

4. Options for timed games
I rarely match with slow players so I'm fine with how fast the game plays in general.

5. Options for undo settings
I'm not sure what these intend to do.

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I don't have much time to play myself. Let alone gather a group of friends to do tournaments. But this sounds fun.

8. More translations (to what language?)
I don't need this for myself or anyone in my circle. However, if I have spare time (which I don't in the foreseeable future), I would be willing to help translate into Thai (a very niche market :D).

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I'm fine as is.

10. Option to hide the log
I'm fine as is but it would be more user-friendly if reactions can be selected in the game area.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
The blacklist system works just fine for me.

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
It would be useful for recruiting new players into the game though.

16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Right now it's generally pretty intuitive if a player knows how to play Dominion ... except the log-dependent things e.g. start-of-turn, calling reserves, native villages, archives, etc.

Yes, it's easily overlooked. I had the same issue with my first Young Witch game but it didn't matter much. I had to ask my opponent the second game. It should stand out more.

When I hover the mouse over their name, I can see the cards on the mat which are supposed to be face-down.
