Thanks! My comments, pending the ones from David. Btw, take my comments
or suggestions with a grain of salt - the way we get inspired by the
cards probably depends a lot on our experience and character. It's just
to try to give you more matter!
* 1-02-1: I don't think you need to come up with a completely
different concept, but I don't think it's a comprehension issue
either. I'd go for David's comment that if players are having
troubles finding inspiration, it's probably missing some
details, or maybe some ambiguity. Maybe make a character of the
cloud? This way you have an interaction instead of just a
reaction, that may help. And it would strongly relate to the
sun/forest card.
* 1-02-2: Agreed, it's not easy to understand the concept here. I
think we get that those are fishes, but not that much that the
fishes are contained in each other. Could be worth trying to
come up with another concept for that one imho, unless you think
the final version will be more inspiring (in that case, go for
it!)
* 1-02-3: Ahaha, perfect then ;p
* 1-03-2: Agreed, I think that if it becomes more understandable,
it will be much easier to be inspired by that one
* 1-04-1 & 1-04-2: Ok - you seem to have a good idea on how to
finish this well, so ok for me. Just keep in mind that the
comprehension is not necessarily the issue here - it's more that
it's hard to link it to other things (either cards or personal
experience).
* 1-04-3: Ahm, what do you mean by "battle star"? You mean that
it's stars ridding the chickens? (crazy!) Nevertheless, what
makes it hard for me I think is the fact that confrontation is
the main theme that comes out of this picture, but it's not
something we really find anywhere else.
* 1-06-2: ok
* 1-07-3: Ah, yep, if it's a cellphone, a lot more things come up
to my mind then : ) I also have the name of a few friends that I
could use for this card ;p
* 1-08-1: Ahh, I see then. Maybe try to communicate this notion of
competition ("best") more then. It will also help for other
cards if this notion is very obvious.
* 1-08-3: ok
* 1-09-1: Agreed - I think when we'll understand that it's a night
sky, it will be easier to have ideas
* 1-09-2 & 1-09-3: Hmm. Not sure it will be easy to use them...
But I like the concept of a "joker", so you got me curious to
see if it would work. Could be worth keeping them to experiment,
yep.
* 1-10-1: ok
* 1-10-2: Is it a picture in a frame here? If it is, making it
more understandable can help with coming up with ideas yup.
(Edit: saw the new version of the card, looks much better : ) )
* 1-10-3: You really got me laughing here ;p "It's easy, it's an
alien asking for money to return to his planet" :D Well, I admit
I didn't get it either - my attention was a lot more drawn by
the eyes below him, so I thought it was focused on spying/being
prey to something. Hope it helps! ;p
* 1-11-3: I think it's missing something on that one - maybe
something related to meat/animals? Would go well with the
vegetarian theme and the fire camp ;p

> PDF for reference)
I really like the second one! (with the gift)
For the first one, it's maybe a bit basic - which card would it replace?
In any case - I'm very impatient to finally play with the final version
of those cards with a few friends. :D
Xavier.
