Since GMTK 2021 i played all your entries, glad you joined the jam this year as well. I really like the concept of your game, although i had to figure out that the bottom values of each scroll affect my economy as well when not played out. I also liked that the game gives me time to think out strategically what to place in my city and which scroll to pick, to get the most value long term. I would like to see more synergies between scrolls, but i can understand that you didn't managed that within the time constraint. The synergies that are in the game, i enjoyed a lot tough! Also are there any benefits to where i place my buildings on the map?
Again i think you did an amazing job with this entry. Keep it up!

Hi! I remember your games from `21 and `22! Oh, man it really warms my heart to read comments like this, thank you so much :)
Thanks for the feedback as well I appreciate that very much. I'd love to add more synergies and more "wacky" cards and effects but at some point I settled on "a little boring but fairly balanced" which was a safer choice but definitely less cooler :D
As for the benefits to place buildings. I planned to, then I cut the scope, then at the very end I added small bonuses when similar (in function) buildings are placed near each other and then added a "secret" bonuses when a column is full and then when row is full (just for fun, knowing, that nobody will do that :D). But that's really not that much and a lot of people are pointing that out and all of them are right :)
