This is really nice and cozy and surprisingly addictive! I've played it a while into endless just getting lost in expanding my farm. The interactive tutorial's also a great touch and I'm pretty curious how you did it. Placing land is a bit iffy though I'd say, and it rarely goes where I want it too. And yeah, the hand clutter is a bit much even with the filter. I think it might feel better if more expensive packs give less cards than they do right now but can give better cards with more coverage or crops with higher quality. Overall though, a very solid entry. Great work!

Thanks for playing! When I get back around to this game, I've made some plans to create some card progression and extra card packs to control the draw pool a little. This should help with hand clutter and creating more useful cards for the player.
The tutorial is actually fairly simply built. Each of the tutorial steps exist as slides in the format of 4 very panel containers and a fancy looking Rich Text Label under a single Node parent for each slide. The 4 panel containers are rotated and placed so there's a gap in the area I want the player to click in. The panel containers block out any input outside of that gap, and the way they overlap makes a pretty convenient set of arrows. Then, I have Node that tracks where the user should be in the set of slides and toggles them on and off as they progress through the tutorial. Luckily there are no complex steps in the tutorial so I just have the tracking Node progress the tutorial for each of the actions. The main challenge in creating it was making sure it was repeatable every time, so steps were either left out, or explained in text to control where things could possibly be on the screen.
