I am a software engineer at Google. I like machine learning, python, and algorithms.
I am a sucker for analyzing game log data for games that I love. I run RFTGStats.com and CouncilRoom.com: Dominion Statistics.

2 draw piles for convenience? Also, when we did this with a mixed older base set and newer expansion set in Race for the Galaxy, some players would opt to take the fresh card from either deck, which is obviously cheating. |

Strategy for succeeding at Crisis skill checks Everyone in the brig -> no crisis checks. All but one in the brig means you'll have Investigate Committee and Declare Emergencies flowing, and everyone in the brig able to make an average contribution of say, 3 or 4 per crisis. As long as the solo free player is a not a Cylon, and you can convince people to stay in the brig, Crises will be a breeze. |

What is a quick way to test or simulate card strategies for deck building games? I've used and was reasonably happy with the python simulator 1.5 years ago, but now I think it has fallen behind and doesn't support all cards. |

Strategies and kingdom cards for a strong opening in Dominion? IMO, neither Treasure Map nor Coppersmith are good general openers. councilroom.com/… In 400k online games, they underperform Silver overall, Coppersmith especially so. |

What are some fun setups for Dominion for two players? I don't want to be too pedantic/argumenatative, but the timestamp of game completion is logged in the URL here, 191417 = 19:14:17, 191723 = 19:17:23, which means the game in question took 3 minutes and 9 seconds. Game 1 and Game 2. The combo was obvious and quick (Tactician/Bank). |

What are some fun setups for Dominion for two players? If your dominion games are taking an hour each, either you haven't played enough, you are playing really slowly, or you are doing something wrong. A quick online game between experienced players can take 3 minutes. |
