Hah. I found that same icon gaff with navigation. We were both wrong. They very cleverly realized it wasn’t needed, although our pattern recognition brains are trained to look for it. Hint: check out the advanced actions for the cards that change due to navigation.

And the icons are super well done. I had the same fear, but there’s a hand out for every player that lists them, and after a refresher they become very obvious. Really some of the best thought out iconography I’ve ever seen in a game. Cannon vs sword is pretty easy to differentiate. Because every time you actually need to differentiate it in play, its obvious from context. Both the pictures on the card, and the symbols for what the card does tells you what the card is. I’m a huge eye roller when it comes to icons vs. Text. But this was seriously the best done one ever. The icons that represent the tech can be hard to decipher, but you never need to decipher them. All references to tech have a number as part of their icon, so whenever there is an icon with a number, you know that means tech and since you gain them in order, you know which one.

I was really surprised how the different advisors made each people play rather dramatically differently despite most of the cards being identical.
