Show HN: Throne Room, my iOS 7 shuffler app for all you Dominion players

This is cool. I love Dominion. The home page doesn't give me any reasons why it is the best, only the statement that it is. Work in progress?

Thanks for the feedback. To be honest, I've put far more work into the app than I have the website.

But to answer your question, it's stable and fully functioning, although there are plenty of features I have planned for future versions.

Basically, I wanted a shuffler app that was minimalistic and dead simple to use, yet something like a Swiss Army Knife for setting up and running a game. For example, Throne Room will generate a Black Market deck for you if needed, and "draw" three random cards for purchase when needed.

I couldn't find anything like this on the App Store, so decided to make one myself.

I play dominion, but not sure what a shuffler app is.

It's something to help you decide what cards your game will be including.

Basically, you can use this app to specify which cards you have (or don't want to use), specify special conditions (like no attack cards, for example), and this app will randomly generate a set of 10 Kingdom Cards for you to play.

It'd be good to even just put a line on the homepage that says what a shuffler app actually is/does. I've played dominion but wasn't really sure what the point of this was. (as covered by other comments in this thread)

Thanks again for the feedback. I've updated the site with some blurbs that hopefully explain things a little more.
