That is a fair point. > I agree that having more ways to spend them might be a good idea, > though (and possibly a higher cost for the 25-radiance purchase). > > -- > ais523 There are a few obvious questions, like, "what should they be spendable on?" (Spendies are probably the most useful option, but also somewhat boring) and "what kind of hands should get what rewards?" (Right now the only hand that does anything is a 10-card straight; it might be interesting to explore other, easier hands getting lesser rewards) - Galle
