Ah so I had the cards right, but the reasoning for veranda a bit wrong.

Why was my first card watchmaker? Dali like image? Or just because the wheels on the walls look like clocks plus POE hope to guess watchmaker?

maybe others enjoy the slow pace.

I'm not sure how to reduce the time that much; it's kind of a check in 1-2 times a day kind of game due to time zones and it also takes some time to look through the visions and post the next hour's board. I need to improve the process for running it to make that part faster.

The ending time is again based on time zones of people and when they can check in and submit.

Open to running it as a turbo/real-time game or other ideas to improve the speed.

Thank you for the explanations, I was pretty sure mine wasn’t crypt when I chose it, but elected to listen to others over me. I might have picked veranda over workshop though, so it didn’t really matter, but those two were sort of a coin flip for me.

well yeah, night outside was part of it for veranda...but the other cards had nothing to do with veranda and i had the first 2 pointing to pwns so didn't need strong connection for veranda, just nothing to throw you off track

yeah, the button on the wall over the opening looked like where a clock would go and then it was Dali-esque (my favorite artist) and really nothing else made sense. I was very lucky to get one of the two "watchmaker" cards (gears) in hour two and then the other (hourglass) in the final vision...some run good this game

Turbo could be interesting. I could see 2 - 3 hours being doable, but not sure how hard the process is for the ghost.

yeah I need to build some more tech stuff for the ghost; it's pretty manual right now which isn't good, making it harder for others to be the ghost and it takes longer than it could to do the visions

This might also be fun as a tournament format to add a competition aspect to it. But co-op was definitely fun too.

nothing much this game drove me crazy...a few bad guesses imo (but what do i know) but ya'll went 4/6, 4/6, 5/6, 4/4, 1/1, and then 5/6 on final phase so can't complain whatsoever

i thought we'd do worse, but we did have better cards; see other game for one where cards were a little vaguer and they weren't quite on my wavelength for a lot of the game

nj y'all, i followed along, definitely felt like the cards were slightly easier here, but i don't think it was really that much tbh. the final phase was definitely super cheat mode w/ the hour glass, but you know, just variance! and it was getable from the other 2 too.
