Issues of turn/randomness

[sowaka]

Hello, I'm playing Dominion and I've been behind the same opponent 5 times in a rowEven though the first mover had an advantage, the shuffle resulted in a double bottom (in 3 out of 5 games, the purchase card from the first week was at the bottom of the deck).
Does the shuffle really keep randomness and fairness?
To be honest, I'm not convinced by the words that randomness and probability converge.Also, Dominion itself is too disadvantageous on the draw due to the increase in card power, so please take some relief measures.

what do you mean? You think the developer put additional logic in the code to make the shuffle unfair for you?
It's the same random shuffle for everyone

hello,
I have a feeling that basic members are

- 80% start the game at second player
- getting bought action cards 1-2 rounds later
- getting stupid card constellations
- getting money , eg. 7 mostly useless, or 4 when there are no cards with 4

It's understandable to feel frustrated by streaks of bad luck or being second in Dominion. The shuffle in Dominion is random, so sometimes you get several unlucky games in a row. Over many games, probability does even out, but in small samples, streaks happen. Some people use house rules like rotating the start player. For tournaments, players often play equal numbers of games as first and second. You might find two-player games more balanced if you switch starting positions each match. Ultimately, randomness is part of Dominion's design, but it can definitely feel unfair at times!
