I just had something unfortunate happen, for the second time.

The first time it happened I thought it was a glitch.  Now I know what happened...

I spun the bonus spins after a fifth arena win, received three matching rollers, but got no prize.  Guess what:

I am colour blind and 'thought' I had matching shards...

Could we add NAMES to the rollers, so that it is radically clear what we are spinning for?

T'would be nice.

Which two shards were you mixing up?
I assume Freedom and Wisdom.

This is where new art would come in handy. Who has some?
My 3 game-modification principles:
1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

I've also had this issue. Freedom and Wisdom look too similar. And for someone who was totally colorblind, it'd be nearly impossible.

Perhaps changing the art just so each shard is slightly rotated (like they were each part of a whole originally?)

That's a simple, but good idea.  I do look at the wiki of all the card art, but I still can't see the difference.

I just think putting up names would be simple, but ideas like yours are awesome too, and do not really involve a big a change as my notion.  Cool beans, guys :)

All the current suggestions involve updating the game. Use Color Cop if you want to handle the issue yourself.

I should've been more sensitive of potential color blindness not making links obvious: http://colorcop.net

In short, open Color Cop, hover over icons in spin reel, get to know the RGB differences between SoW & SoFr

SoW generally has a higher red value (first two hex digits of color)

Thanks (this is a really useful utility for me)

You can also notice how SoW has a much shinier double bevel, whilst SouFflé doesn't.
