Oh I loved this one. Big fan of card games.
I like this idea of submitting cards for various events to resolve them, reminds me of some board games I've played.
The system feels very well thought out, and it did take a little time to wrap my head around it, I think that's pretty normal for a game like this with how complex it is, I tend to think of it as a positive.
I was able to beat it on my first try with a single EP left, very nail biting. I think I ran into an issue where I would play food cards that said they would +3EP but as I resolved the card effects I never actually got any of that EP which almost led to me losing the run.
Great work on the entry
