Need a game log so that you know what just got played https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=514.msg4782#msg4782

Often cards will get played while I'm looking elsewhere, and I'll hear the sound effect and turn back to the screen and say "huh? what?  How did my Otyugh just die?"  Or worse, "How did I just die?"  It would be nice if there were a game log to review what got played. 

Furthermore this game log should not go away until you have had a chance to review it AFTER the match.

My last two matches, I have no idea how I died.   :-\

A game log would be a useful addition to the game and there is no reason for a good card game not to have one.

I wouldn't mind a bigger (pixel-wise) playing area. Or possibly a "chat" window like they do on Kongregate where could have a tab for game log and a tab for chat.

Even better fix is not to die.

Yeah, this is a real problem, especially in PvP. Sometimes strange things happen and you have no idea how it happened. My favorite is the invisible Otyugh.

It would be cool to have an integrated chat and game log, like what they have in MMO's. Unfortunaly it's probably very difficult to code and there's not much free screen space left for it.

A simple fix to this problem is to simply pay attention. :-\

Agreed, and sometimes lots of cards get played at once so it can be easy to miss something even if you *are* paying attention.
