DominGen 12+

Best randomized

I’ve been using various apps for years as randomizers and this is hands-down the best. It’s also kept up to date so I can use it even shortly after new expansions are released. That being said I’ve used it a lot the pst few days and have noticed som bugs and I can’t find anywhere else to report them.

1) Often the app will not let me manually select landmarks or events. If I only select landmarks/events/projects and press select manually then the app will crash

2) I have events/landmarks/projects turned on always, but if I select promotional and not empire/adventure/renaissance then the summon event never shows. The ability to select promotional events outside of the kingdom cards as is provided for adventure/empire/renaissance would be good.

I rely on this app whenever we play dominion with friends.

There are no better randomizers. This one tells us ALL the cards and extra items we need to play the randomized set for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 players including extra setup instructions like how many favors or coffers to give everyone to start (where applicable) and which mats, tokens, and extra piles of non-supply cards to use. It allows you to use both 1st edition and 2nd edition cards where they exist, and promo cards. You choose however many sets you want and you can change out individual cards if you like. Furthermore, it has options for deciding how many landscape cards to use and how to decide whether to use platinums and colonies. Several other options exist including preferences for not repeating cards that have recently been selected in other set ups. Only one gripe: occasionally I need to close it and reopen it to get my new randomized set. (I currently use ios 17.3.1 on my iPad, but have had the problem on older versions as well.)

Now that I have the update pack for guilds/cornucopia 2nd edition, I am looking forward to seeing this app support 2024 updates. When can I expect to see that?

Thanks! Not sure the source of the freeze, but if you could let me know your iOS version that might help troubleshoot.

Great Randomizer! Almost Perfect.

I really like this randomizer. Visually, it’s quite nice to look at and randomizes cards in a way that makes setup intuitive. For instance, by including all needed setup cards in addition to kingdom cards, it’s pretty foolproof. My one complaint is that you can’t set a maximum number of expansions to be included. There used to be a randomizer that allowed you to pick a max number of expansions (say, no more than 3 in a game) while still picking from them all, which I really liked.

Update: Wow, I left this feedback and the developer updated the app to take this into account and make the suggested changes. Talk about responsive! Already loving how this is changing my dominion play possibilities!

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback! Check out the new "Maximum Expansions" option in the 1.2.0 update's Settings screen, which can be used to limit the number of expansions used to generate playsets (the expansions will be picked randomly from those you selected). By default, this setting is off (no maximum), but you can change the limit to from 1-5 expansions.
