General Discussion / Hey there, buddy, read this br...
Last post by PlixplixSnigo - Today at 05:43:08 PMHey there, champ, I accidentally stumbled upon something so cool, I had to drop my sandwich and share immediately.
This piece is a design explosion. It's packed with crazy layouts, next-level thinking, and just the right amount of interface wizardry.
Sound too good? Alright, go look right here!
Didn't click? Fine. Imagine a robot designer dreamed of a site after watching sci-fi. That's the vibe this beauty gives.
So hit it, and send it to your friends. Because real talk, this is next-level.
You're welcome.

Feature Requests / Disable 1-player games please
Last post by Max Mapleton - Today at 12:00:53 AMIf I finish a game and the other player leaves while I'm in the process of clicking the Ready button (or if I don't notice they've left), it then starts me in a completely pointless 1-player game. Since I'm not subscribed currently, it's even worse since it's a 1-player game with the base set.
When the other player leaves, the Ready button should automatically disappear or be disabled.
For those weirdos who like 1-player games, I guess you could have an opt-in setting that allows that to happen somehow.

Game Log Issues / Re: Game glitched while switch...
Last post by jc645 - 22 February 2026, 09:48:57 AMAfter divine wind.
I think it was the 2nd to last turns for each of us - we each had a Samurai in play. The only other duration cards that could have been in play were Captain (me), Merchant Ship (opp), Blockade (I think both of us), or Secret Cave (both of us).
If our game chat was available it could be pinpointed as we were each trying to figure out what was wrong/why the other player wasn't acting.

Game Log Issues / Re: Game glitched while switch...
Last post by Ingix - 22 February 2026, 08:49:11 AMThanks for the report, jc645.
Can you remember at which rough time that happened? Before Divine Wind activated or after? Long before/after? Which effect had set aside the cards (Blockade, Foresight or Haven)?

Game Log Issues / Game glitched while switching ...
Last post by jc645 - 21 February 2026, 09:44:41 PMGame# 174997031, myself and ringold83. Happened once to each of us. When my turn ended, ringold83's set aside cards were visually played (to me), their timer started counting down, but they could not act, screen text said "waiting for jc645", but I could also not act as my turn had ended. Fixed by refreshing browser. Ringold83 then finished their turn, then the same thing happened to me (ie I could not act to them it said "waiting on jc645"). Again fixed with refreshing browser. Previous game we played, and the first dozen or so turns in this game had no issues.

Other Bugs / Re: Ability to Rate Games
Last post by Ingix - 21 February 2026, 09:34:08 AM> Any chance it could come back?
That seems very, very unlikely.
When you are playing only amongst your group of friends, you are tracking your strength with respect to each other, not within the whole playing community. While I agree that the former is an interesting metric for your group of friends, it isn't really relevant for the rating system as whole.
Say you are 4 players with ratings from 45 to 55, after playing rated games for a year only among yourselves. That doesn't say much about what your rating should be when you are playing against other players. Maybe in reality you are 50-60 players, or 40-50 players?

Last post by Guy The King - 21 February 2026, 03:28:43 AMThat is extremely disappointing. We have been tracking our ratings for years and now we are not able. Not sure I understand the rationale for removing it for subscibers that have found the feature very positive to track performance over time. Any chance it could come back?

Other Bugs / Re: Ability to Rate Games
Last post by Ingix - 20 February 2026, 08:40:14 AMHi Guy the King,
that is a deliberate change, introduced with the new timer settings. It will not be possible from now on to play rated games from a table that is set up by a player.
The reason is that over time it became apparent that players were using that option to 'cook the game'. First they set up the same kingdom again and again and waited for players to join their table. When that option was eliminated, they set up free sockpuppet accounts and played their main accounts against them (usually with a very early resign by the sockpuppet).
So its an unfotunate side effect that your evening games with your frined will now need to be unrated.

Other Bugs / Ability to Rate Games
Last post by Guy The King - 20 February 2026, 05:24:36 AMWhen setting up a game board there used to be a toggle swith in Game Options to make a game "RATED". That toggle switch disappeared tonight. We play almost every night so it was immediately noticed. I do not remember seeing "Timer" before. Is this a bug or a deliberate change to game board settings?

Feature Requests / Re: IP/SMS/Credit Card verific...
Last post by Ingix - 19 February 2026, 08:18:39 AM> The other online gaming companies have solved this problem so it is solvable.
Are we talking about companies like Blizzard (thousands of employees) or companies like 2nd shuffle, that have a handfull of employees at most (I guess its 1 or 2) and some more volunteers?
> Block all VPNs.
And lists of those VPNs are easily available and not forever changing? Because those VPNs need to fight against the streaming giants, not the insignificant dominion.games.
> Is this forum still in use since a new company is running things?
Yes, but for a long time already, most communication has moved to the discord server: https://discord.gg/MsEuwUr
