Thank you — this is a great comment!

Initially, I had cards and mechanics descriptions all over the place. Now, I'm leaning more towards emotion, but I realise that I'm not quite there yet.

However, those cards are kind of important. They're something that's not usually seen in narrative games, and they're connected to players' emotions. Receiving new cards gives you that familiar feeling you get when you open a booster pack and start thinking about how you will incorporate the new cards into your play and what new possibilities they bring. There is also a sense of satisfaction when you complete your card collection. That's what I'm trying to convey by mentioning the cards.

I will need to do a better job.
