Not played yet, but...why?

Why oh why are so many of the card types so similar? Everything looks like it needs close inspection to see what card it is?

Cannot understand why they dont spend more time making things clearer?

At first, the backs of the cards should help you to divide them.

Arnt about 4 sets the same card back? (at work at the moment, but by memory arnt something like - Weaknesses, Skills, Advanced skills and another all the same card back?)

Because all those cards go in the same deck, if their back was different you could tell what you are going to draw. You don't need to sort those cards out every game so it's not a big problem.

This only comes up during your deck construction. I did definitely get the Bs mixed up when I had Basic, Burglar, and Bilbo cards, but its not really that big a deal.

Fair enough, that explains it...thought it was odd.

Thanks.
