Kingdom randomization

Has anyone else noticed the Kingdoms seem very un-random? I own just base and prosperity for now (Prosperity was copied from Goko). I play a lot of 1 on 1 against the bot. When I don't like a Kingdom, I'll resign immediately and then click "ready" to start a new game. Well I just did that several dozen times, and noticed a few things that I can't believe are just coincidence....

- The games were heavily biased towards base instead of Prosperity. I never saw a Kingdom with more than 2 Prosperity cards on any board, when it should be about half and half on average.

- Certain cards repeatedly showed up. To make sure it wasn't just in my head, I just recorded the last 8 Kingdoms I got... well, I recorded the occurrence of 5 particular cards that I noticed a lot. Here's part of the last 8 Kingdoms:

1. Chapel, Village, Smithy, Festival, Witch
2. Chapel, Village, Festival, Witch
3. Chapel, Festival, Witch
4. Chapel, Smithy, Festival, Witch
5. Chapel, Smithy, Festival, Witch
6. Chapel, Smithy, Festival, Witch
7. Village, Festival, Witch
8. Chapel, Village, Smithy, Festival, Witch

As you can see, 7/8 Kingdoms had Chapel, 8/8 had Witch and Festival, 5/8 had Smithy, and 3/8 had Village. And this pattern had existed long before I started recording those 8 Kingdoms.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

lol, ok, it was the "familiar cards". I have no idea how those settings got messed up, I'm sure I've always had them on "familiar with all"... somehow it was set to being only familiar with a handful of base cards, and it only allowed 2 non-familiar cards per game. Never mind!
