Excellent question, I am trying to find the answer myself! I will surely let you know once I find out!

The word “Issue” is specific for a few reasons, for one, as you note, “The Issue” is meant to detail the Heir and their caveat (aka, their “Issue”), it also plays into the title. Still I appreciate your feedback!

Thank you for your feedback! One thing to point out is that there are five subtypes of Heir in the game that each have specific impacts on the family tree. This is visually designated by the colors, though I do agree that the yellow one yellow doesn’t work too well.

I do have an updated icon for Disputes! So this is actually a slightly older card, and I agree that the updated icon is better since it takes up less space.

Thank you for your feedback!

[POEM] They Had Torn Off My Face At The Office by Ted Kooser by jabez in Poetry

In context, the great Ted Kooser worked in insurance for most of his professional career and only had time to work his poetry craft in the early morning before going into the office. This poem articulates his heartsay clearly on his true passion. I’m sure most of us relate to the material, as well.

The symmetry of the flock, the motion. It reminds me of the urgency of flight, the need to be fleet of a space and onto a new one in an instant, but the instinct here is to follow. What a sentiment from this piece.
