New graphics - too bad

[BrentGuillen]

I also completely agree, it is so much harder to quickly view and comprehend which cards are out, I can't exactly explain why but it takes me way longer now to look and see which cards are available

[Tara_SD]

Completely agree here too. We are a family of five Splendor fans and we would regularly play it on BGA rather than take out the box.

It's literally unplayable. Absolutely awful.

AGREE! WHY? Why was this done to us? I was totally thrown off when the new graphics loaded. I couldn't adjust to the colors while I was playing. It was very distracting. Plus, the new graphics just aren't as pretty or smooth as the old graphics. The beautiful game suddenly became UGLY and I do choose games based upon aesthetics, as well as playability. Splendor was one of my favorite games until now. Ugh.

Is it only a problem wih the new digital implementation, or is there also a problem with new physical components?

Having seen this thread, I was nervous about playing again, thinking it’d be somewhere between unplayable and much less fun. But it’s fine. I don’t think I’d go as far as saying it’s an improvement over the previous implementation, but some (most?) of the comments here seem way out of proportion.

Maybe it’s been tweaked and so it’s better now than when most of these comments were posted? Maybe I’m less sensitive to the issues for some reason? (I have a large-enough screen and no colour-blindness, as a couple of possibilities.)

But I just played a game and had as much fun as usual with no problems caused by the interface.

absolutely right, very difficult for eyes.

Chiming in with the group here. The graphics are very hard on the eyes, making it difficult to play. Please consider best practices for usability and accessibility issues when updating visuals. Please update or give users the option to use old design.

I find the new graphics difficult on my eyes as well.

I agree. I find the new design harder to look at / analyze. If possible please return to the original design and color scheme. Thanks!

I'm ok with a change of theme and art, but the graphics are too small, and the gems are hard to see, totally agreed.

Just highlight the GEM ICON and the game gets much better, lose the brown color around it.
