I've never played the game, but 2 friends own it and no longer play because they didn't like it much. One complaint, if I remember correctly, is that things stay in the center too long and the game drags on (no idea what that means, since I haven't played).
I don't know what this means either. Just like with Dominion, if certain sets of cards get chosen for the game, it can take longer as everyone tries to build up. Besides, isn't that why we'd like to see these computerized games, so we can play them faster? I don't know what it means for something to stay in the center too long. While I think Dominion is the better game, there's no doubt that it's WAY easier to get a game of Thunderstone going in my group. I figured you whipped out Ascension because it was fairly easy to do since it can't be that it's because that's a good game.
Ick! Thunderstone would probably be able to rely heavily on your existing Dominion framework and with the second expansion releasing very soon, I think you'd have a pretty popular program on your hands.
