Fun game! It wasn't always immediately obvious where exactly I could play, but I imagine the more you play the more it clicks too.

I also agree with your decision to not use numerical indicators. It would definitely make things too complex and the graphical representation you have is pretty elegant as-is. Optional if at all.

Thanks! Yea I was trying to make the game's visuals as simple as possible. Especially for mobile players, where screen real estate is quite small.

But looks like there's demand for more indicators for the game's state. Will need to think more about how to have indicators without cluttering the visuals.
