Hey thanks for trying out the game! I intentionally left-out the more detailed explanation of the game mechanics and had the idea to have the player discover it on their own, to fit with the parent to child relationship theme I was going for. However, I can see how in a game-sense leaving little to no guidance is not exactly good game mechanics either and can be pretty frustrating. Thanks for the feedback! Here’s a quick rundown on the intended mechanic:
game mechanics
The left wheel takes the color of the 1st card and the shape of the 2nd card. Think of it as a fusion of the two. The right wheel has a pool of the 8 shapes and 8 colors. Every time you drop a card there, the shape and color of the card you dropped is removed from the pool, essentially narrowing the possible outcomes.
