Rotation function is not clear for new players

Post by AVTactics »

I can see more and more new players (less than 50 games) who dont know they can rotate cards. I explained to some of them, if you aim mouse coursor to your cards, you will see the icon of rotation so you can click it and the card will rotate 180 degrees. All of them said thank you. Without personal explanation, Im affraid, it takes longer for new players to find this function.

My proposal:
Maybe we can try to change interface design a bit. Right now we can see only cards on top left. And the icon of rotation will pop up only when mouse coursor is aimed at a card. In new design, lets try to put rotation icons for all the cards visible all the time, for example, below every card in hand. So at any time every player will see the option.

Note: it can be done somehow other way, the point is to make rotation function more clear, especially for new players.

My solution would be to have a help screen popup that appears the first time you play, saying you can rotate cards, then it will no longer show after you toggle it off.
