Thanks for playing and for your feedback !
Totally agree with what you said. Reading long tutorial texts is not very appealing in a video game. We have a lot of ideas to improve the game, and the tutorial is definitely something that need to be improved.
We plan on making some kind of tutorial run like you said. Where basically the player would start with a very simple game with very few mechanics to help understand the basics. And as he progress, more and more game elements will be introduced (fog of war, new tiles, new resources/card type, virus card, virus game, etc...). And some much needed quality of life improvements in addition.
Hope you can give our game another try when a new version will drop ! :D
