| Some feedback to the Wekill//leaks card game I happily play tested not so long ago: | Some feedback to the WEKILL / / LEAKS card game I happily play tested not so long ago: |
| - could be nice to have a pictogram for each type, especially a distinctive one for action cards that can be played out of turn | |
| - on the card "massive protests" was I believe the word "neuralgic". Despite it being my first language, I don't really know this word (fixed) | |
| - thematic difference between empire and leaks cards would help (e.g. blue/red rim around cards) | * could be nice to have a pictogram for each type, especially a distinctive one for action cards that can be played out of turn |
| - the cards refer to a lot of real events, but I wouldn't be able to find them if I didn't know them befire... Maybe something like "Learn more, lookup <search term>" would help turn an insider reference into a pedagogic opportunity < absolutely, work-in-progress towards 1.0! | * on the card "massive protests" was I believe the word "neuralgic". Despite it being my first language, I don't really know this word (fixed) |
| - at the game play, the introduction and explanation - although very good - took 30 minutes after a 10 min delay, leading to only about 15 min gameplay for me :/ future playtest events should 1/ have shorter intro 2/ let players figure out the rules from the manual 3/ last at least 90min | * thematic difference between empire and leaks cards would help (e.g. blue/red rim around cards) |
| - generally really nice idea, and would love to support getting a deck! <3 | * the cards refer to a lot of real events, but I wouldn't be able to find them if I didn't know them befire...

| Censorship Resistant Servers says "if censorship or ddos is in play, discard them. while in play, censorship or ddos can't be played", and Gag Order says "can't be played if Censorship Resistant Servers is in play". | Censorship Resistant Servers says "if censorship or ddos is in play, discard them. while in play, censorship or ddos can't be played", and Gag Order says "can't be played if Censorship Resistant Servers is in play". |

| the word "discard" is confusing here; that word should be used for cards being discarded from the hand but for removing cards from the table it should say something else like "removed from play". < great | * the word "discard" is confusing here; that word should be used for cards being discarded from the hand but for removing cards from the table it should say something else like "removed from play". < great |

| Either Gag Order should be also mentioned on Censorship Resistant Servers' list of cards it prevents from being played, or (better) that list should be removed from the Censorship Resistant Servers and the blocking information should only be on the cards being blocked (eg, the way it is on Gag Order it should also be on Censorship and DDOS). | * Either Gag Order should be also mentioned on Censorship Resistant Servers' list of cards it prevents from being played, or (better) that list should be removed from the Censorship Resistant Servers and the blocking information should only be on the cards being blocked (eg, the way it is on Gag Order it should also be on Censorship and DDOS). |
