Thanks for taking the time for this long feedback.
To address a couple things you mentioned:
- not every card needs to be perfect and some are preference based.
- I'll test the font 100+ thanks.
- the darkness in encounters is random and can be easy played around (know or check your remaining deck) also the enemy does no dmg or block that turn, which is good for the player
- there is a poison card that deals poison to 2 random enemies (slime pit)
- not everything needs to be the same as in other games
- There are pro and cons with the different enemy effects. Some decks are strong against card steal for example (high card decks) and some are bad (low card deck). This forces the player to think about the choices he will make and prevents 1 single dominant strategy.
