I really shouldn’t try and learn games when I have a headache but i think I answered my own question after reading through the directions a few more times.
I’d add a sample turn if possible just so people are clear on how to apply the completed items to the client list. For example, a line like “You are working on items for a client with a score of 8. You can fulfill their order by finishing any number of cards that add up to 8. All face cards are considered to have the same value.
