played a first game. the scoring table is clean and the three-pair / triple+pair ladder is genuinely tempting. what stopped me: my opening draw was 7 different symbols (moon valley crystal flame eye wave void), so Current Fate Row just said NO SCORE - 0 POINTS. on draw one there is no pair to push, so the only move is discard 3 blind and hope. the push-your-luck tension only starts on draw two. a line like 'no pair yet - discard to draw' or the best reachable score after 3 discards would turn that first decision from a guess into a choice. right now NO SCORE reads like a verdict. shake can and draw 7 is the best part, instant to understand.
Thanks — your “NO SCORE reads like a verdict” comment made sense to me. I changed it. A zero-point row now reads “NO MATCH YET — 0 POINTS” and explains that there’s no scoring combination in the current Fate Row and that you can use your discards. If all 3 discards are already used, the message changes again to make that clear. I left out the “best reachable score” idea because I still want the discard decision to belong to the player. Thanks for catching this.
