In an effort to make the Jack, Queen, and King rank associations more consistent, their base difficulty and values now align by ending in the same digit; 1 & 11, 2 & 12, 3 & 13.
The previous formula for determining trial Difficulty was:
Knowble base difficulty (2/3/4) + 1 bonus for each obstacle that shares Knowble's suit
The new formula is:
Know base difficulty (1/2/3) + 1 for each obstacle + 1 bonus for each obstacle that shares Knowble's suit
This means that for 11/12 Knowbles, trial Difficulty is exactly the same. However, this makes the King of Clubs even harder. His minimum difficulty increases by 1 from 4 to 5, and his maximum Difficulty also increases by 1 from 6 to 7 resulting in more (early) retreats. I will monitor feedback around this change and adjust it if necessary.
Also, the Reveal abilities now state that the top card is always face up (not the entire deck).
