Much better this time! What a neat concept! I like these kinds of optimization games, and I think it meshes with the theme very nicely.  Some visual/audio polish would really make this game pop, I think. In terms of gameplay, I think if the edge of the table "wrapped around", it would help with the problem of the card slots on the sides going unused. Right now, I primarily focus on the middle three because they're the ones I can control. If the slots wrapped around from one side of the table to the other, I could use all five slots strategically. I think that'd make a big difference to the replayability. It's a fun game - I'm glad I was able to play it!
