Agreed - please allow option for old look, and the cards are now blurry, game plays slow/buggy.

Has the new design been checked for accessibility? It's visually very hard on the eyes, the colours on the green background are difficult to make out, the writing difficult to decipher, particularly if you're playing on a mobile phone. Please enable the option to switch back to the old design.

Another player here voicing my displeasure with the new layout. It's hard on the eyes. I like the cards in a row, not a faux fan - which runs off my screen because I have it on larger magnification. Thank you.

I like the new design. It will help me to keep me away from BGA so I can do something else.

I expect people worked hard on this, but...
Was there even one UX person involved? Was his name Claude? or GPT?
- fade-in is awful. Just snap the cards in. It's slow for no reason.
- background colors are all bad at least have the old actual color as an option
- "normal" card option is unplayable -- flat should be the default
- we know if there's a number it's the score. "score: " words are unnecessary
- rectangular vs square layout of players at table is suboptimal
- new avatars at table add clutter
- game play is too slow -- except when it's too fast
- it's hard to tell which card are selected.
- the "old" card style is readable -- others are not

Seeing the new layout gave me a hearty laugh this morning. Welcome back to the early 2000's. Can you hear that dial-up ringing?

This new look is very hard to use in mobile as well. It's slower. The cards don't even fit properly on the screen. This is a MAJOR step back. Please at least create an option to revert to the old look and play.
