Ha ha! I do apologize for any offense. Come to think of it, one of my favorite characters from The Dark Crystal has a detachable eyeball, so maybe this is her kind of world. Not so scary after all!

Good point about abstract games and not being based entirely on reality. You’re right: I think I might have questioned more of this if it were about farming or something real. Just another reason why I like to bring it to the table every now and then!

Speaking as a part floating eyeball (on my mother’s side) I find your comments insensitive and racist… 🙂

I think when a theme is something like this, basically unrelated to reality, it’s easier for me to play a relatively abstract game without saying “hang on, this doesn’t work like that”.

Thank you, and great questions!

1. There are actually stacks of cards shown in the section you mentioned, although it’s hard to see. The game ends when 3 of 5 stacks are completely empty, so although you might not see 1-3 cards each time, they all get very repetitive after a short time. None are left out of setup.

2. I might have been a little harsh here! Part of the low variability comes from all of the cards being used, but I also find that overall gameplay follows a similar path each time. There aren’t any surprises and you can plan out your turns in a similar manner. Some variability still exists with the way the action cards are used, yet beyond my first play, I never felt like I had a unique experience.

I hope that answers your questions and provides some clarity. Feel free to ask anything else, though! I’m always happy to go into more detail to explain some of my thoughts. Thanks!
