I guess they will fit potion somewhere as they did with Platinum and Colony. The real problems will start when they add Black Market.

I think Black Market and Tournament will both just pop up a screen of three/five cards to choose from.

Yes. I could see them having separate piles for each Prize on the second screen, which would be inelegant, but make naming the Prizes much easier when playing Wishing Well, Mystic, etc. It would be optimal if those 'piles' only appeared when you played Wishing Well, Mystic, etc. but I don't see that as likely.

Life would be better in general if they could fit more than the 10 cards on the screen.

Crazy talk!  There's absolutely no way you can fit that many cards on the screen all at once...

The Prizes are all separate piles on the 2nd screen.

Ah, Goko. Always taking the easiest route. Are there buttons that let you choose whether you want to gain a Prize or a Duchy? If not, I'm guessing there's a bug where you're forced to gain a Prize when the Duchies run out and vice versa.

This is keeping the ridiculous 1024 x 768 resolution intact. 

Just shrink the size of the cards in your hand, drop the play area down, and you've got room for 15 cards, colonies, plats, ruins

Madman, Mercenary, Spoils, Ruins, bane card, 5 prizes - one more thing and they'd be in need of a 3rd screen.

Yeah, I do not think I would play that board on Goko.

I think Potion would fit together with other basic treasures and victories, there's enough place for a small card even when playing with Platinum and Colonies.

Maybe they'll put each type of Ruins in a separate pile. It gets 2 of their things out of the way at once; getting rules wrong and making the UI complicated!

We all would think that. Except Goko. They don't think that.

There really isn't, without moving stuff around and having an awkward sticking out pile. I don't know what they're going to do, but I'm sure they'll find something that works.

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

They do have some space there to the left of the Victory cards. Why aren't they using that space. Someone should mention that to them. I'm too lazy right now.

Also, someone should send them this modified screen capture. Maybe it will inspire them.

Idea: What if there was only space for 2 other opponents, but in 4+ player games there were cycling arrows to scroll through opponents. I mean what's more important, seeing more cards, or seeing more opponents mugs?

I was actually thinking something more like this:



It's even smaller than yours and has plenty of space!

A bit small on the icons/print though.  And asymmetric, doesn't look right on the eyes.  -1 for elegance.

Also, -1 for not having the authentic card art.

:p

You know, I bet with a few hours in Illustrator I could whip up something that looks better than Goko in terms of elegance and has the real card art.
