Oh good, I needed my Dominion fix.

I've played Dominion plenty of times, so I don't really care.

[Jeffcole1]

The descriptions for Chapel and Cellar in the table are mixed up. Chapel is the one that trashes 4 cards.

Edit: Also, Grand Market gives +$2 in addition to its other effects.

[Jeffcole1]

Yeah, I'm going to make a confession here: I've played a lot of Dominion online (the site I used is down now, unfortunately), and I know of a website dedicated to Dominion strategy. For me, it was just a matter of recognizing strong cards and combinations thereof (and a bit of luck, but in a game like this, that's obvious). If you want, I can go into detail either now or after the game ends. I am going to finish the game, though.

Isotropic? Yeah, that was the site a number of scummers went on as well, including me. There

is

another site that hosts Dominion, but it's not as good, as you have to buy the expansions.

Yes, I am aware of Goko; I tried it out for a time, but it just wasn't the same. I do hear it's gotten much better recently though, so I might try it again.

[Jeffcole1]

So yeah, 24 hours is fine by me. I also need my next hand.

[Jeffcole1]

If my deck was reshuffled after my last turn, I shouldn't have any cards in my discard pile; the Platinum I bought went into the discard before the shuffle, and would have been shuffled in with the rest. The way this game works, I don't see how I can have just 1 card in my discard pile between turns.

[Jeffcole1]

Ah, never mind then. I wasn't sure if that had already been processed. Carry on.

Right, but it's listed in the table (under the Card Types column) as a Curse, instead of Victory like it should be. Anyway...
