Nah, right now it's just too confusing and overwhelming I think. I have a bunch of ideas that could make the detective game more fun and engaging. One of them is having the last 3-4 cards shown (maybe you toggle it by pressing a button). And another one is to have the rules just be partially hidden. So let's say there's a rule that says "Only Even Numbers". But in the game it will look like this: "Only *BLANK* Numbers". Or if the rule is "Numbers greater than 5" then in-game it'll show "Numbers *BLANK* 5" or "Numbers greater than *BLANK*". So it could be less confusing. And maybe even add an option to guess what it is. Like the options for the last rule would be "Equal to, Greater than, Lower than, Not equal...etc".

That could be one way of doing it. I've been thinking of some Detective Mode functionality, to be able to go back and forth in time (you stop the game any time let's say and enter the detective mode). This way it gives you time to inspect the game and guess the rules. Don't know the best way to do it yet
