Can the board grow dynamically once a milestone is met? That could solve the early game issue?

Something definitely worth looking at, although it might add more complexity.

Since it’s in the testing stage, maybe add the option to start with a smaller board, even if it can become eventually cramped. I’m still trying to memorise what everything does, and a smaller board would help for testing purposes.

I haven’t tested this as actively as I’d hoped so far, but will continue to take stabs at it, here and there. My ambition is to give you better feedback and advice, as someone who likes testing games…
