New graphics - too bad

[lesbleus]

Really disappointing. Why the change to a classic look?

[worldsenvy]

Looks like its not just me disliking the new graphics. Maybe keep an option for us to go back to classic view?

First time posting in forum so should realize how I am feeling about the new graphics. It actually makes the cards harder to read and I was mistaking blue for green gems which never happened with the old cards (maybe related to the background). All that to say, please bring back the old graphics or make the types of graphics selectable. The game play hasn’t changed I don’t see the need to assault my eyes. It was the same thing with new burgundy colour scheme and I am glad we don’t have to try and tolerate that fiasco.

Thanks

Thanks. Going to vote now. This is an accessibility issue for anyone with any minor sight problems.

Just played my first game after the change, new looks make my eyes hurt and discourage from playing again. Terrible change.

This game was so perfectly implemented on BGA that I can't believe it was so poorly redesigned. It's difficult to distinguish the cards with this horrible color scheme, putting black in all of the colors. At the very least, there should be an option to toggle the versions of the UI. But, frankly, I can't imagine why anyone would want this hard-to-read design. I don't see playing this again on BGA, and it was one of our go-to games. Really sad.

I hate the new graphics version of splendor too please go back to the original version

I agree with all the comments, the new design does not work for playing online - The cards are difficult to view/read! I also agree that having an option to select which version you wish to play should be available. I hope BGA is not bound by some contractual agreement with game brand or designers though.

If version option is not possible at the very least changing the game background to a darker color would help make the cards pop a bit for easier viewing and playing.
