Challenge finish, for now (no spoilers)

what ended me was frigging brutal (and kinda impossible with where i was resource wise)

Really fun game. As someone else said, I found the META and just did that every round and wasn't really challenged halfway through. Assuming you don't fix the exponetial growth since it's somewhat a part of the game, you'd need to fix issues that it can create such as the gained resources taking too long to get to the inventory (this should also probably have an exponetial speed sort of thing where it'd be instant if it's doing a ton).

Ive added a challenge mode and fixed the long animations, give it a try!)

so it turns out some cards let you have exponential growth. i hit the win screen with 2k of everything (including win points)

Thanks for feedback! 

I'm still working on balance... It's kinda hard to get right in late game, but wait for future updates!

Thanks for the fun game! here are some thought I have when I play the game:

1. The tutorial didn't expain this is a turn-based game at the begining. In addition, the "next turn" button is so perfect for "tutorial next page". I only understand how this game actually work when I am reading  tutorial part 3.

2. The resource collection animation is slow, and it would get slower as the animation process. It is a pain if you have more than a hundred of resource. In the late game when I have 1000+ square to collect, I can only go to next turn and let the animations kepp flooding on my screen.

Thank you so much for the feedback, I will make an update that speeds up the animation!

I cannot figure out what to actually *do*. I click things and sometimes I get told I did good and sometimes I get told I lost. The numbers on the left change sometimes.
