Messages - Karbon

My nick is Karbon and I bought Dominion from MF.

I'm casual player. I play only with my wife or people I know in real life. I love Dominion, but I don't like hassle involved with so frequent shuffling. I sold my cardboard copies and I used online versions since (isotropic, bsw, bga, MF). Many boardgamegeeks I know in real life did the same thing.

I'm typical boardgamegeek, I have many many games and I don't know, if in the next month I will play Dominion 1 time, 10 or 100 times. Sometimes I don't play it for many months, so I can't pay in front for monthly/yearly subscription.

I need digital equivalent of the standard cardboard game. I don't need tournaments, ranked opponents etc. I just need a game that I can play with friends, among many other games. And for that I will gladly pay for every Dominion expansion.

The best solution for me would be something like "family" similar to google play store or offline client that couple of people can use to play by LAN.

In your current bussiness model your main product is "competition", but it lacks product "digital equivalent of a board game for a typical boardgamer". "Competition" and subscriptions works better with web services with many boardgames like BGA. For a single boardgame you need second product also, just like other boardgames on google play store.

Hope this helps. :)
