Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
I think it would be helpful to display the game options (Amsterdam vs. Rotterdam, Game Length) in the game. In turn-based games, players might not remember the settings, especially if they are playing multiple games at a time; and it is cumbersome to check back in the game overview screen. Perhaps the Amsterdam/Rotterdam rules could also come with a brief explanation in the setup screen and/or in the game itself. Kingdomino has this and it is really helpful especially for newer players.

Report history
I see it could be helpful, but it would have to be some way that is not too much “in your face”, since in real-time and once you get to know the game, you don’t really need it.
In real life, people also mostly play exclusively Rotterdams or Amsterdams, depending on their preference or what they are used to.
Maybe some extra panel below your Hand section with some game options info?
Do you have other suggestions?
With the Setup screen you mean when creating a new table?
Because when selecting Rotterdams or Amsterdams, the main difference is already described below the chosen selection, right? (“Always forced to trump” vs “Optional to trump partner, undertrumping is only allowed when it cannot be avoided”).
Also in your overview of tables you are currently playing on, the game options would already be included.
I think I will add some game options block below the Trump suite, and also add a “Quick Reference” with the card ranks and points for Trump/Other colours and overview of the points for Roem (card combination sequences in a trick). That should be helpful for inexperienced players, and not too intrusive for others.
