May 13th 2021 15:00 • sarasa1a • This suggestion has not been analyzed by the developers yet:

May 13th 2021 16:38 • XiaoYi • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Spirits are going to be added to the panel

May 19th 2021 12:47 • XiaoYi • Developers think that it is not a good idea or that the cost/benefit ratio is too high:

We feel this information is not needed and is clearly visible in the player areas

I would be better to have this information in the panel. It's very annoying to scroll down and up constantly to check the other player board. With these informations in the panel that would avoid that.

Although the rescaling of the player panels help even with two players it's hard to have all relevant info on screen on a laptop (let alone a mobile phone, but scrolling there is probably inevitable).

This is a terrible decision IMO. At the very least, the count of each symbol should be at the top of the player board with the tiles. It's hard to tell the symbols apart at a distance even on a computer, especially with the favor tokens, and adding them up is a pain.

Agreed, bad AND contradictory decision.

Other than for "take a tile", spirit and power symbols are *identical* in the game, and it's very bad design to display only an arbitrary subset of otherwise identical things.
