Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
The cubes are way too small to see easily. I suggest making brand new city
hexes that would have the city color in the bottom third. The top part would
be white with the cubes twice as big. The blue ones would be lighter blue to
stand out better from the purple. More easily readible cards would help. If
the tooltips wording could be reshaped and overlaid as an option, that would
be an improvement.

Report history
I am trying out different cube sizes and scaling up to 1.5 of the original size helps.
The cubes colors will remain for the moment, since the increased size makes the differences more apparent.
I am reluctant to change the board graphics from the stock out of the box appearance, so for the moment lets leave that as is.
The Operation and Baron card text is being worked on, so it might be a bit before that is finished.
Implemented in V1.2 July 9
New cubes, trains and ECM tokens have been created.
In my experiment, I boosted the track brightness and contrast a lot more which had
them stand out a lot better from the background and then the trains would also.
The Green trains are virtually black.
It is essential that the cubes be easily seen to evaluate many combinations.
Using the existing city hexes is not going to have that. I still say new ones are
needed as described above and larger cubes. We have seen such games as Agricola
and Brass, someone abandoned the original artwork and are a great success.
I assume you are using original city hexes which will never have the cubes easily seen.
Only the blue ones stand out from the background.
