Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In real game, I can see the approximate size of each stack of cards. And some decisions might be influenced by this. For example, I might be debating playing an animal with Scavenging, because I had to discard a card I really want back. Knowing if the discard is 10 cards or 30 makes a difference.

Report history
The discard pile size would be mildly interesting with Scavenging, but I am not sure it is important enough to report.
What if it were 3 cards big and you had a scavenge 3 card?
In my opinion those two are absolutely relevant.
boardgamearena.com/bug?id=9733
Implementing this would also help players realise there might be more cards in the discard pile than they expect and that the discard pile contents may be more or less biased towards certain types of cards due to boardgamearena.com/bug?id=86579
Next to the conservation/appeal button that brings up the full scoring track modal. One icon and number for draw pile, one icon and number for discard pile. (or, 1 combined icon that has both numbers to save even more space)
