Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating due to a lack of expansions and variety, particularly with the limited e deck. The oversized game board and cumbersome click-and-drag scrolling method detract from the overall experience, making it tedious to navigate.
“There are no expansions, not even other decks than the tediously boring E deck.”
“Everything is too large; it's impossible to zoom out to see the whole board, and the click-and-drag scrolling method (kept from iOS) is tedious and makes no sense on a PC.”
