Mermaid Overkill

At this point I’ve played enough games to realize the overwhelming amount of mermaid drops in the first ~20 cards. Probably part of the design to make online games more exciting but is extremely frustrating especially from a transition from in person to BGA. Please keep me in check if I’m overthinking it. Makes online play much less desirable since the luck factor is more proportionality skewed online.

You're overthinking this. The developer didn't rig the game to make mermaids come out more often.
You could just be experiencing a stretch where mermaids are just coming out a lot due to randomness. Or you could just be misremembering things (very common among BGAers). We'd need some hard data to tell.
