You can click fires to extinguish them. Didn't have time to tutorialize that 😅
I'm aware the RNG needs some fine tuning, but it's not 100% random. Some cards have a higher chance to show up (there's an actually deck of cards that they're being drawn from!)
At the beginning of every day, you get to choose 2 free cards (you can discard cards).
From quite a lot of play testing I did before posting the game, I saw that most starting hands were pretty manageable once you place some tiles, but I totally get the frustration.
Thanks for the feedback!
