Suggestion for initial 8 choose 4 iconography

[grandslam]

My peanut brain has discarded the four cards I wanted to keep because I saw the green checkmarks as 'keep' Any chance they could be changed to red X or the phrasing of the question could be flipped so the green checkmarks go with the cards you want to keep?
Thanks for considering it.

What ? That's exactly what it's doing currently. Green means keep, red with trash mean discard.
Once you select the 4 cards to keep in green and confirmed, the 4 OTHER cards are highlited in red with a trash, which is what you want.

I've learnt to take decisions very slowly because some ask you to choose what to keep and others to choose what to discard, so it's always a good idea to double-check before confirming.
