It seems that the UI has updated over the past few days.  When clicking to gain cards from the kingdom, I have previously been used to a single click will gain a card.  Now it is inconsistent, sometimes it is a single click, but other times the card will not be gained until a double or triple click.  This is an issue when gaining cards as it may cause cards to be gained when not meaning to.

First time back to Dominion in a few years (lots of new cards to learn!) but I have a question on how automatch works.  I believe that it randomly generates a kingdom from all available cards in a game level, but it does not seem like that in practice.  I'm playing at level 10, but I've played about 25-30 games now over the past few days but I am yet to see a single Landmark, Way, Project, or Event let alone any of the Nocturne cards that deal with the Night phase or anything to do with Allies or debt.  On the flip side, as a specific example, I've played with Tide Pools in over half of my games today (4/7 games).

Just seems odd... am I missing something on how these kingdoms are generated in automatch?  Is it that rare to see a Landmark, Way, Project, or Event?  Back when I was last playing, I thought you could bias automatch towards certain expansions.  I remember setting something and that all of my games had Nocturne and Empires cards in them.

Has anyone ever had the pleasure of playing a game with Donate and Possession in the kingdom and any village?  It essentially boils down to each player trashing their deck down to Village-Village-Possession-Possession-Possession or something similar and consequently staring at each other across the computer screen trying to figure out what to do at this point (an offer draw button was brought up by both of us).

What are people's experiences with this?  Is this, dare I say it, a "broken" combination?  Am I completely missing something?

As a side note, I feel that Donate is bordering on absurdly strong as it is.  Trashing whatever you want out of your deck at any time seems too easy.
