I'm enjoying these new variations! The removal of turns does make it less stressful with that one extra constraint removed. I'm still getting used to keeping the side scoring tiles in mind when I play.
Thanks, yeah. While I think the "side scoring" mechanic is really good, it's pretty hard to easily digest right now. I'm running into the same issue of constantly checking and moving my eyes a lot. I'll see what I can do visually to make this easier to read. (Note: This is still prototype graphic and would need proper art and UI design to be really good.)
