Any updates/revisions on your strategic analysis for the game, now that the game is more than 6 months old in BGA and where players are now more experienced, and as a consequence, more 'rational'? Is your strategy still as effective as before.

If there are lower rated players after you, they are much more likely to bid high so you need to go higher to avoid having the worst 1 or 2 cards. They would rather use up half or more money on 1 card rather than take a low one.

Do you keep track of how much money everyone has? This can make a big difference
and give someone a big advantage. But it makes the game more work. These 2
reasons are why I think money should be visible.
If I'm playing the game casually, counting chips is more effort than I care to spend. You can always look back through the logs. I never was a fan of games that had "private information, but it's trackable if you have a good memory". It does matter. If you know how many chips everyone else has, that can make your decisions easier.
