Thank you! Getting the tutorialization right was important for me, in particular because I prefer to have all the information you need to play within the game itself when possible. That can be hard under jam conditions where you’re just trying to make the game work within the deadline. (I did include text on the game page this time around as a just-in-case. Some of the mechanics are perhaps under-explained in the game itself.)
With more time (and maybe higher fidelity graphics), I would have done more to emphasize the Jacks as the “special” cards, just to really drive the point home for the player. The main affordances I added were using unique colors for each suit, and changing the color of the left bower when you’re selecting a suit. This makes it easier to see at a glance how many trump cards you’ll have depending on the aura you select.
