- The overall concept of an eco vs. industry resource card game is really strong. The aesthetics of a retro snes card game were nostalgic and nicely done. I had a bit of trouble figuring out the game mechanics/how to play, as other players noted in the comments. I would be curious to see the gameplay mechanics explained in an in-game tutorial somehow, but understand that could take significant development time. Did like the concept overall, and could definitely see how this could be flushed out and fine tuned over time. Cool stuff! :)
- Didn't really understand the game even after instructions. Once I played a river and it just gave me a notice "Default Player wins!" and ended. Tried playing about 5 times, and I couldn't understand the scoring or what different tiles do.
- The concept of the game is definitely one that can be built further upon and I think has great potential. As it stands, I think the game itself is a bit too simple and exploited. As a test after beating the game, I just started randomly putting things on the board until I eventually won.
- The game is unclear on what is the point

Everything looks and sounds clean the only issue is how to play it
Thanks!
I've just rephrased the instructions in the Description section of the itch.io page.
The idea at the base is very good, I liked the double face of the game where you can randomly be the part of the “green”, eco sustainable energy, or to be “gray”, someone that destroys the other part for profit.
The design is very simple and I like the choice of the cards and the other parameter to play the turn.
But… I found at the start the gameplay very confusing and the possibilities of choosing the whole hand without knowing what to do was pretty much unfortunate.
I lost and won a couple of time before learning the game, which I don’t know if it’s bad or not, but it wins for the idea
Thanks! :)
I've just rephrased the instructions in the Description section of the itch.io page. I admit the previous iteration was a bit too bloated with long sentences.
