Pile Card Counter


Squared piles of face-down cards, such as waste and discard piles, should have a 'badge' that displays the # of cards remaining in the pile since it's not always obvious from the 2-D display.

In addition to the convenience factor this feature will somewhat make up for the removal of the score box in previous releases. Knowing how many cards are in a discard or waste pile gives you the information you need to keep score on your own.

It never ceases to amaze me how much work is involved in adding a feature that seemed like a quickie at the time. I've had to rework a lot of the underlying infrastructure to get this working reliably. It's all good though since the infrastructure desperately needed the work anyways.
