Re: $100 point bundles

They are there to help sell the cheaper ones. I forgot where I read about those studies (maybe “Stumbling on Happiness”?)

Love the program, and all of the suggestions for improvements above. My idea is to have an “Order alpha/by cost” button on the screen with the randomized board. We keep all of our cards bindered together (as many probably do), so with this button added we could retrieve the kingdom cards alphabetically, and still be able to switch the view to see that same board by cost.

Great program, and I look forward to further updates! I agree with the previously posted suggestions of having the force moat command should be a force any counter card command. Good luck with that and I look forward to future updates!

The android version is kind of a mess – you don’t get extra dice for rescuing citizens, so the whole thing spirals out of control pretty quickly.
