I learned IRL on Intrigue, and for the longest time, like maybe a year or something, I hadn't realized that the Mining Village randomizer was in the actual Mining Village slot, and so I never chose it as a Kingdom card.  When I finally noticed this extra card, my mind was blown.  Because of this, it is one of my favorite cards.  And also, finding it sort of changed the game quite a bit for us, because the only other villages in Intrigue are Shanty Town, Nobles, and Tribute, which aren't exactly the strongest villages.

I played one game with Witch before I realized that you're only supposed to have 10 Curses in the supply when it's a two player game.

I think it counts, because that one game took a very long time.

Lucky you; for me it was Familiar.

I once tried to program some kind of Dominion simulator.

It was at that time that I realized there are a lot of intricacies and that Dominion is in essence a giant complex flowchart.

Androminion development stopped shortly after Dark Ages was released so many of the DA cards are buggy.  I haven't noticed any bugs with cards from earlier expansions.

Androminion 5.00 that I have on my phone and Kindle has Guilds...

The Vault and Bishop effects your opponents can use are things I know exist, but basically never remembered to do until I played online so much I got used to the simulator prompting me to do so.

I really like how using these effects makes mirroring a weaker strategy (less cards to get tokens with for your own Bishop, your own Vault doesn't guarantee a Gold anymore, etc)

I just learned that the gain on University is optional. I always thought you had to pick up an action card when playing University.

Pretty amazing what you can learn by just reading the text on the card.

This. It's a sore spot for me because of some of the people I play with IRL. They'll read the top of Young Witch, then ask me, "What's a Bane card?" Read the goddamn card!

Even once people learn this, they often seem to play as if they don't know it.

The top "Androminion.apk" link on https://github.com/mehtank/androminion/releases works.

In my German version of the Base Set, Chancellor's deck discarding is obligatory, making it even worse in the end game. This has been fixed in later versions, though.
