Fun game! It's very cute and drew me in immediately - when you get just the right synergies to keep things going, it's really engrossing, so great work there.
My big critique is that there are some hands where you just run into a wall, whether because you simply don't get enough resources from islands or draw a hand of only static (non-card giving) cards. My second playthrough I made it to 86 population, but since then I haven't topped 20 due to bad draws. After playing a few more times, the main culprit seems to be the abundance of pier cards that fill my hand - I don't want to just play them because it'll stack my hand with island cards and drain my gold, but I'll wind up with three to four in my hand instead of wooden houses.
I'm also a bit unsure what the 'resume' button is for given it doesn't allow you to do anything. Is it just for screenshots or something?
Regardless, I'll be revisiting this game for sure <3
