Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
1. The player panels at the top are far too big on mobile which makes the game uncomfortable to play because there is so much scrolling and you can't see all info at the same time.
2. It would be great if I could see my player board at the same time as my hand or cards. Right now they're separated by the card purchase display.
3. Floating card hand option didn't seem to change anything.
4. It isn't so important to me in this game to see my opponents info as we can't do much to impact each others game. To make more room it would be good to have the player boards on a carousel like planet unknown and ark nova have so the other players board is on another tab within the display and I can tap to it if want to see it.

Report history
1) I'm afraid this is more of a BGA UI issue on mobile in general. Newton has a lot of player resources to keep track of and I don't control where the summary panels get repositioned once the mobile UI kicks in.
2) I liked this suggestion and it just makes logical sense to have your hand be bundled together with your board, the position felt arbitrary before. I moved it following your idea.
3) I don't understand what you mean with this. If you meant the option "Transparent Hand Panel", it would make sense you don't see any difference, it's a desktop only option and you play on mobile. It makes the cards in your hand transparent and helps you see the board below them, because they act like a floating panel on desktop.
4) The other players' boards are relegated to the bottom of the page, I didn't find them getting in the way an issue - there was no point in adding an extra click for players who want to check on how their opponents are doing, they are out of the way anyway if you don't want to see them.
I hope this clarifies most of your issues/suggestions!
In general there seems to be a lot of margins/paddings that fill the screen with no gameplay purposes.
Newton has a lot of different boards. I would propose a tabbed layout so less scrolling is needed. A recent game who has implemented this well is Federation.
Because you only show the top half of the cards in the player's hands, is there a reason you couldn't just show the top half of them in the shop? Would take up less vertical space that way (and you could make them each larger to show the detail of the symbol in the corners), and the top half shows the action on the bottom half anyway (likely why you're only showing the top half in the hand).
I can make an image if that would help.
The mobile layout thing will be deployed with the next release.
