So.... Small World came out and is a thing, right?
One of the biggest issues I've had with the deck over the past few months are those hands where you open unplayable. I've tried just about everything to help minimize those hands, but nothing really helped without losing just about every hand trap spot. Even then, I still bricked more often than I would like.
But small world is a thing now! This means that any machine or veiler in hand can turn into a dozer, metalcruncher, fortress, or bullet train (or anything other than harvester), and as and bell can turn into bullet train or harvester. All while naturally adding to the hand trap/interruption line up for the deck.
Try it out..... you may be pleasently surprised!
