     @jovialthunder I'm so curious to see what your test code looks like, I tend to think of games as hard to test

     @clarity yeah the frontend/ui ones are definitely the most finicky and fragile (tho one of them was what saved me in this case) but since the game's turn-based and I've done such a gold-star job keeping most of the action in mostly-functional methods, the bulk of the most helpful tests are pretty straightforward runs of game logic like this.

     I'd love to give you a in person tour sometime and hear your thoughts!

     @clarity Some do require more game-view machinery in place (anything that requires a virtual player choice, for example) and you can actually see the game playing through those as the suite runs.
