  • [2]set_collection_diversifying— “each type of riches awards you prestige points in different ways, so maintain a balanced collection
  • [2]card_market_replenish_variance— “keep an eye on the value of the art market as it evolves; different riches will take on a different value for each player
  • [1]attrition_clock— “be prepared for when the mid-game scorings are triggered; manage your gold reserves

I-cut-you-choose pass mechanic is perfectly async digital; the simultaneous split around the table maps cleanly to a mobile round-based card game.
