Suggestion: Show points scored by each card in real time, instead of the end.

Post by Barberserk »

I have some ideas to make the game less mind-breaking, and more friendly to newcomers. I notice sometimes, when it is too late, that I have forgotten to meet the requirements of a card in order to activate its scoring. I wish there was a visual indicator after this has been achieved during the course of the game. Actually, this is not enough, now I got the core of the problem. An even better idea to reduce the number of things you have to memorize is, to simply show the current score of a card, even if it is 0, at any given moment, and modify it while the game progresses. It really feels unecessary all this "mystery" and waiting for the end game to show you the score of each card. Most games update your score in real time, as they progress, this game desperately needs it.

Good idea! I Love this game and was about to do the same suggestion to show weather a card meets the requirements and if so, how many point it collects.i.e. by adding the little white sqare underneath it like during the endcounting..

It will kill the idea of the game. You have to use your brain in order to play it. And train your attention. If program will show scores beforehand, remind you that you forgot something - it might play as well instead of you 😀 What is your impact then? And what is the next step? Predict and highlight the card with most points? 😄 There are other games there you do not have to use your brain that much (or at least math). The fact the point are calculated automatically at the end is already too much of a help.
