Yes, that's correct. While the random cards you leave unspecified come indeed from the combined card pool of all participating players, the cards the host chooses need to come from what the host is subscribed to.

I assume it would make a much bigger problem if everybody could choose from all the cards, only to get an error message of "You need more cards that you are subscribed to" when they don't have another player at the table that has some subscription.

The solution would be that you are the table host and your friends tell you what cards they want. It might be cumbersome, but you can enter comma separated card lists in the kingdom selector, so if someone writes in chat

Please include Church, Moneylender, Wall

you can copy and paste "Church, Moneylender, Wall" into the kingdom selector and those cards will be included.

Done!

The (current) reasons for that error are not known, some previous instances could be identified to belong to Smugglers, for example.

If you are trying to reload very old games that might happen more often, but for recent games I come across that only sometimes.

We've had reports that the messaging area is gone after the game on Safari, and that is being worked on. But that you can't type during a game hasn't come up yet.

We had hoped that the coloring of the button would make an accidental click much less likely. But the option to minimize the chat field and thus increase the log area means the buttons had to move.

@trish_er: Done!

@Christian: "Burli" is unfortunatelly already taken. You need to choosen another name.

Yes, it is being worked on.

What is unusual in your picture is that the card backs (representing the unused slots for banned cards) are very big, so the card slots for landscape cards aren't shown. If you are trying to ban landscape cards (Events, Projects, etc.), then they are simply not shown because the space isn't there. Try to reduce the page zoom to get rid of that problem.

Otherwise, I just tested this on Firefox and Chrome under Windows and could add cards to my banned list both via the text entry and by clicking the picture.

Can you add cards to your banned list via clicking on the corresponding picture?

That problem is fixed now, thanks again for pointing it out.

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

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.
