During development 2 player mode was my main focus, and the AI opponent was just an afterthought of practicality, so that other jammers can actually play and rate the game properly. As such, there is no real \"1 player mode\", the AI is just a drop-in actor for Player 2 -- sadly this does not result in the best UX for solo mode.\n\nI'm a bit wary of adding hover-only effects, because I want to support mobile and touch UIs properly too. What I like about those ideas in other comments of opening a full-size, zoomed view of the cards is that it does not need to interfere with the regular gameplay UX, it can just be a button used by people learning the game. After a couple of games, seeing only the card titles should be sufficient, there's only 7 different cards to learn after all.\n\nWhat do you have in mind for Sabotage in a 3 or 4 player mode? Destroying 1 card of each opponent feels a bit unintuitive\/unnatural (ie. how do you use 1 unit of TNT to destroy multiple items in different mining camps?), destroying 1 card for each TNT discarded might be too weak (with a bit of over-simplification, say you can spend 3 turns' worth of TNT to set back 3 opponents by 1 turn each, is that good enough?).

At the end of a turn the revealed cards go back on top of the shaft deck.\n\nYou can buy the following items (item cost):\n- Pickaxe (0): reveal a new card from the shaft deck. Can not go through rock.\n- TNT (0): destroy the last revealed card in the mineshaft, as well as the unturned card behind it.
