I really liked this one, never thought I'd play a strategy game in a fire tower. Nice mechanics, nice idea, lots of strategy, my only issue is it has no pass the mouse mode for two players

This is very true.
The spyglass was initially planned to have a bigger role in revealing potential traps hidden underneath a card.
This utility was unfortunately scrapped due to its complexity and the (Pirate Software) game jam time constraints.
3 card types definitely isn't much, but I suppose it comes down to how you leverage the info using your Utilities.
I know some cool things you can do are:
- Spyglass => Find Redraw card => Use Hatchet on said Redraw card to cancel it.
- Spyglass => Find Utility Card on enemy's field => Use Arson to "steal" said Utility Card.
Or if you have two Arsons:
- Spyglass => Find Redraw Card on enemy's field => Use Arson to activate the Redraw => Use another Arson
Though no one is expected to really know these tactics, but I feel as though employing them definitely affects who wins.
