I agree that the way that is presented is very cumbersome to read for someone who doesn't know the boons by heart. I'll put this on the bug list, suggesting either a wide enough window to show all cards non-overlapped horizontally, or to arrange them vertically.

In the mean time, a workaround is using the kingdom view screen! Click on the marked button here:



Then scroll down and you'll see the Druid's Boons:

[To find out why you don't get automatched (if that is what you are using):]

Are you using automatch to find a playing partner or do you make a table and wait for someone to join?

Using automatch is the method you are "supposed" to be using for that purpose, when making tables it is known (from the version before 1.6) that sometimes you get players immediately, sometimes you have to wait a long time.

To find out why you don't get automatched (if that is what you are using):

Can you post a screenshot of your automatch screen, with the full automatch details visible, like this:



If it only shows a shorter version, like below, clicking on the small triangle marked here will extend it:



Playing rated games with Black Market:
Due to ratings abuse, you can no longer have a rated game with preselected cards (like Black Market). OTOH, the new card pool level feature should allow you to do mostly what you wanted, step by step expand what cards you see in games. You can find detais here:

Taking a screenshot is not related to the program you are currently using, it is very much a device and operating system dependent action. On most PC keyboards is a "PrintScreen" key, usually in a place similar to the one in the following picuture:



Pressing it while you are in the "Automatch" screen of dominion.games will take a picture of what you can currently see on your screen(s) and put it into your clipboard. That's the way it works on Windows, I assume it is very much the same for Mac and Linux, though I don't know the details there.

Then you have to open a painting program, "mspaint" will do for Windows, and use the "Paste" command ('CTRL-V'). That should finaly show you the screenshot. Save that under some file name, then you append that file to a reply here using the "Attachments and other options" below the text entry window.



I have unfortunately no idea how to make a screenshot on a phone or tablet, not habing modern ones where that matters.

I'm sorry that you are so heavily inflicted with nausea when playing the 1.6 version.

I've been bumping the touchscreen --> fullscreen bug report, but it seems it isn't worked on yet  :(

That explains it.  ;D

Your rating requirements for opponents are off the charts. You want to only play with players that have a rating level between 68 and 73. The highest ranked player has 66 right now!

The lower of the 2 rating values should  be negative, like in my picture here:

If you lower that value (I suggest making it -5 or so), you'll find matches.

That wasn't what I wanted to say. In my very first attempt (vs. a bot) I got Way of the Horse. Can you post a screenshot of your automatch screen? And what kind of subscription do you have (if any)?

You are right, that doesn't look out of the ordinary. The only thing I'd try was to allow a lower lower limit for your opponent's rating.

At the moment, you are only looking for base games, nothing more. That should match you with somebody that accepts a base-only game. I just tried that and I got a match in 5-10s.

Can you extend the automatch section (there is a small triangle pointing down, see the picture), then post a screenshot of the whole screen. I can only assume something else is "off".

SANDYCLARK, can you post a screenshot and tell me the size of your display is in pixels? And just to confirm again, your are playing on a PC with Windows (I assume)?

Thanks for posting and helping.  ;D

Unfortunately, keeping the game running is the worst thing you could do. What I need you to do is to go back in it, write down the game number (it should be in the chat window and the top of the game log, ask if you can't find it).

Post the game number as a reply here, then resign the game. Then I can load the game and see what went wrong.

Yes.

The feature was abused by some to always make the same kingdoms and then wait on tables for unsuspecting players, who would then loose in a kingdom they saw for the first time but their opponent had already played lots of.

So now, if you select one card, or include more than 2 landscape cards, the "rated" switch is reset to "unrated" and if you force it to rated, the your selected kingdom cards are thrown out.

Hi bygage, you are playing mostly ladder automatch or make the tables yourself?

There is a new version in testing right now at

acceptance.dominion.games

that is supposed to go live later if nothing serious is found. Can you check if that version fixes your problem?

Or you can wait until 1.6.0.6 is deployed to the dominion.games server later.

The game should have asked you. The only undo that need not be approved is the "Autoplay Treasures" move. Do you maybe remember the name of your opponent?
