Kill -> Sacrifice for *own* dogs.
More compact symbols for destroy/take. Maybe <EYE> X <CAN> Y and <PACK> X <SHOP> Y?
Maybe undo icons for some things, follow the 5 second rule as per
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/icon-usability/
I.E: if it takes you more than 5 seconds to think of an appropriate icon for
something, it is unlikely that an icon can effectively communicate that meaning.
By 5 second rule the icons are:
YES: Speed
PROBABLY: Hypothermia
MAYBE: Starvation, Draw
NO: Immune
Special cards that need more explanation:
- utility knife
Consider more player count? 6? 7?
Red/Green/Blue/Purple/Black/White/(orange/yellow)
Cubes instead of disks (smaller/cheaper)
Back to old personal cards (shuffle unused back in)
Consider allowing to draw undestroyed?
Need to balance for meditate though.
Maybe PUT (not shuffle) unused back in. Meditate tells you deck order!
***** NO *****: Discard/shuffle back <--- PERFECT!
4 types of 'stretch' card. Mini cards come 32 to a sheet.
8 versions of each. 64 total effects. :o
Card has info for both versions (easy/hard).
Hypothermia/Starvation INCREASES whenever YOU take a new day.
Graduated system: 0/1 = no change, 2/3 = +1, 4/5 = +2, 6+ = all
Immunity is unique - its effect can be spelled out on its card (vigilance)
Stretch ideas:
Hard
~~~~
All speeds are negative.
--X speed
2x costs
draw -1 on new day
take /-1
destroy /-1
+1 starve each day
+1 hypo each day
kill a dog each day
Easy
~~~~
+X speed
-X speed
Personal cards draw all (like old personal rules)
0.5x costs
draw +1 on new day
take +1/+1
destroy +1/+1
no starvation
no hypo
~~~~~~~~~~
Destroy choose which cards to destroy/discard/shuffle back
"Speed ruler" on edge of board - 2nd token to maintain speed delta.
Supply limit? ~10 cards then reset?
Cloud -> Cliff effect
Lightning -> No upgrades? -> NO DRAW!
Legendary: Can hold risks through the night - flashlight?
Rules - order of costs doesn't matter (can draw first to hope for damage eg)
