TaxingTiles

the middle 4 tiles on the far right wont let me place in them.

I come back to this periodically, and it's really interesting to see the changes you make. Personally, I find the current unlock system pretty frustrating - it's pretty limiting, and forces you into playing particular strategies that you don't otherwise want to, purely so you can unlock other things, rather than feeling like you're progressing. I've also found that you now (moreso than before) need to have some kind of discard mechanic, in case you fill up the board and can't play anything, so can't get new cards. Deadlocks are not fun. :(

Lol bunnies are wild, between that and the void totem thing, and fires there's a lot of chaos to deal with and I like it

Have no idea how to play the sunflower card.  I assumed playing meadows would get me up to 4, but I guess you have to raise the max?

I dig this game a lot. I've been playing it a bunch over the last few days trying to get beyond Year 6 - it's tough. It's a lot easier once you figure out some of the hidden combos, but still challenging. (I've only found a couple, I'm not sure if there's more.)

There's one strategy that I think is overall more sustainable long term, but requires a bit of luck getting a good deck for it.

I've noticed a couple of issues you might like to be aware of, though:

1) The discard gets reshuffled into the deck every turn. This can lead to you picking a card and then not drawing it for many, many turns purely because of bad luck. A better (more intuitive) system would be drawing through all of the deck, moving things to discard as you play them, and then shuffling the discard into the deck when you need to draw a new card and there's nothing in your deck. This means you're guaranteed to see all the cards in your deck within 2 deck rotations from when you've bought it.

2) There's a couple of hitbox issues. The status tracker in the top right appears to prevent you from placing tiles easily in the top right tile, and (more obviously) the top second-from-right tile. So you can click on space that's within both the box of the 2nd-right tile that doesn't appear to be covered by the status tracker and it won't do anything, but if you click in the bottom third or left third that's entirely outside of the tracker hit-box then you can still place tiles there. It's pretty annoying.

3) A similar sort of hitbox issue comes up when you have the cards raised to read details and you try and place tiles in the bottom row that aren't visually covered by the cards, but would be within a plain rectangular hitbox area of the hand overall.

Fairly minor issues, but would definitely make the game feel a lot better!

Cheers for making a really neat game.

fun and tough, made it to year 3 and I feel like I could do at least one better on the next play through.  Not a huge fan of the information of what the cards do being hidden until you purchase them.  The cards hovering and going back down was a little janky for me, like they go back down moving mouse between cards, at least on the webgl version.  Really great start, looking forward to seeing it progress :)
