Thank you so much for your kind words and very thorough review! I am glad to hear that you found the mechanics engaging and enough fun elements to keep you playing.
I hear your feedback about the visual cohesion, I definitely am planning several more passes to improve this aspect. With this positive feedback I plan to make a push to complete the game loop fully, and then I can start on my polish passes in earnest.
Magic the Gathering, Slay the Spire, Dominion and the many, many other card games I have played in my past definitely inspired this game, so I am happy that came through as well.
I will work hard on finishing this game to bring it fully to life! Stay tuned for updates ^_^
