This game is not finished and needs to go back to Beta please

Post by jeanjeani »

Hello,
There are a myriad of issues with this game:
-rules don't align with th rule book or rule summary
-games stops after 2 or 3 rounds no one knows why and certainly not at 12 like indicated in the rule summary
-the scoring display is not understandable. why someone gets X points is not put forward well
-the game suddenly stops and has a pop up for scoring the millisecond someone put a zero down , you don't even have the time to see what actually happened
-why you can sometimes play loads of cards other times only 1 is a mystery
-auto skipping someones turn because they don't have cards to play warrants a message ig No cards playable - turn skipped -X cards drawn
etc...
This is only the iceberg.
The cards are really pretty and I'm sure there"s a decent game in there somewhere but not in this implementation.
Please move it back to Beta. It does not belong in production yet.
Thank you.

I'm also surprised it made it out of beta. I don't think it's quite as bad; end game trigger at 6 points instead of 12 should be easily fixed. Auto-skipping notification and showing round results take a bit more effort.

Agree with all of the above.
Why does the game offer me to play cards that do not align with the rules? Or the other way around.
Multiple times I selected "Play on an opponent's pile" and the game drew me a card and ended my turn instead.

Rules do not say anything about when or why to draw cards.

Another issue is when the game only offers me two options:
Finish play on opponent's pile (or something to that effect)
or
End Turn

Neither of these ever let me know that the game had highlighted a card that I could play on the opponent's pile. I finally caught on that I could click on the card, then on opponent's pile and that worked fine.

But other times, if I clicked on a card before choosing "Play on an opponent's pile" first, it would play the card on the center pile. At those times, I had no idea that I had to click on the blue button FIRST.

These two things make the game pretty incomprehensible.
