Board Game Arena

First of all - this is a great game, thanks for bringing it to BGA so soon! :)

I found a couple of things that could improve the UI and make it easier to play on various screen sizes.

1. Tooltips: the Wingspan implementation on BGA uses a similar sized board, and like in this game, those cards are too small to comfortably make out all the details at a glace.
Hovering over a card in that game brings up a nice tooltip explaining the card, solving this issue.
Similar tooltips would be welcome in Earth, with content like the current card help menu, but available in a more compact form when hovering the mouse over any card.

2. UI element sizes: the current cards have a lot of blank space around the important symbols like point value and the card's ability.
Some of these symbols are tiny even on a 27" 1440p screen, regardless of the zoom level.
With slight changes, the 4x4 tableau and the player board could comfortably fit on a single screen, even without compacted cards.
Please find attached a quick before/after mockup:

Thanks for checking this out! :)

For #1, please see this: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29385

For #2, I didn't see much difference, do you mean that you want to make the icons and number for the main acctions on the player board bigger?

#2 - if you click on the 2 images and see them in larger size you can see the icons in the bottom coloured bands are larger and easier to see. Not a huge issue but agree it would make it a bit easier!

Hello

An option to be able to order and/or filter the cards in hand would be great!

Thank you, very nice game

Well, you are in luck, that’s what the colored flags are for
