Any idea why the UX changed? (for the worse?)

Post by Clockpusher »

I like that the fonts are sharper and a bit easier to read. Beyond that the UX changes I'm seeing are worse, the buttons have a dashed outline but more importantly the game log disappears (and appears randomly if you make your web browser a different width sometimes) and the end of game phases seem to be... gone?

If there is a setting I can change to get it back to the previous version please let me know.

I've noticed it too and the new score pile location particularly grates for me.

Worse is the removal of 1st edition option (rarely used but occasionally I would just for old times sake) but in doing so they seem to have broken some of the 3rd edition card actions - publications definitely, and I suspect others that changed between 1st and 3rd edition but the game ended too early to tell.

I'm 99% sure they are trying to merge the alpha version (4th edition) into the current official version.
UI changes probably make sense to support the new edition or were at least approved by publisher or alpha testers.
