Now and then, all six cards change in one go. Is this an effect of this rule ? "Automatic Reset" when six cards have the same action or color ?

If there are ever 5 of the same color or the same type of card (move, gain, push) in the market it triggers an automatic reset. The idea is it keeps the market from stagnating and helps move the game along.

I sometimes use it tactically and buy or avoid buying specific cards to potentially trigger/not trigger a refresh

Just to emphasize the importance of these resets - probably about half the games I've lost were due to these (of course I have won some as well because of it).

I think it is worth considering this as a rule option that can be changed, not having the automatic market reset creates new tactics and would make the reset action more valuable.

That’s fair I originally implemented it because I figured people wouldn’t want to be stuck on a market with all yellow for example, but it seems it’s generally better to have a bad market rather than have a bunch of good cards spawn for your opponent
