AIDS for "Wizard Camelot"

Because the function of the 4 new Special Cards cannot be read when playing the online version the following information is printed in the lower-left corner of the screen.
 Merlin: wizard or jester;   Excalibur: Nullifies trick;    Grail: wins if Even, loses if Odd;   Morgan: only loses to Grail played Even.
When the Merlin card is played either as a Jester or as a Wizard the Wizard or Jester card is displayed with a large "M" on it. This is to inform the other players that the Merlin card has been played.

ALERT! WARNING! HEADS UP!

"Wizard Camelot" was designed for live play, not online play. When playing live it will take some time to get used to all the new strageties that are afforded by the new cards. (Play of "Wizard Camelot" will separate the "best players" from the "very best players".)
Online players will find Wizard Camelot frustrating because: 1. It is hard to see what the 4 new cards are because the indices markers in the top left corner are not very clear when lined up on the screen. (Unlike when you hold the cards in your hand.) 2. It is difficult to remember what the 4 new special cards do, especially when they do not always do the same thing, and there is a time limit for you to decide. In live play the powers of the 4 new cards are written on the card itself and there is no time limit on deciding what to do.
