interesting observations

• today I play tested a little bit with pen paper prototype it seems, dual identity of guest sounds promising. so, let's say you pick from guest deck you pick a card it says its VIP, stays in luxury for 4 days. but on opposite it says he is a “criminal” lawyer. Now let's say opposite player draws a card, that says tourist, stays in standard for 6 days but secretly he is a blackmailer. in a random future round, he sends his blackmailer to extort you out of coin. Then you turn your card and reveal you have criminal lawyer. who blocks blackmailers’ ability. Now you complain to management, and you get a reward of 1 coin and opposing player gets a penalty of 2 coins.
