I love cards, the bad part is turning them in. It seems, at least to me, that it's a guessing game which cards to turn in. Part of this is the lack of documentation right now, and that I haven't played risk other than this game in who knows how long. Within the UI on the card list it shows the countries I currently control in bold, others with standard font weight. This is not the case when you go to turn in cards. When turning in cards, all the countries are listed as bold. So to make an educated decision to get the most bonus (on the countries I own) I have to scroll down to the bottom to see the country list.

My 2nd suggestion is to eliminate the need for documentation here altogether. Instead of just listing all the cards, what about listing all the possible combinations of the cards you currently have available for turn in, as well as the number of bonus troops you'd receive? I have a sample here (the small white circle is a radio button)

If you conquer someone you can have perhaps 9 cards at a time. Supposing the worst, that's a ton of possible sets, with different territories.

Let's say, randomly you have 9 reds... That would be the following set possibilities:

red 1
red 2
red 3

red 1
red 2
red 4

red 1
red 2
red 5

etc.

So we can't really do that. By the way, the underline is what determines if it's yours, not the bold.

How could you get 9 cards? Whenever I hvae 5-6 it forces me to turn them in...

The screen alone would show 6 combinations at the current size of the window, whereas if it were heightened then it would support 9-12 combinations.

I don't think there's going to be a more efficient/easy to use way than this.....

I don't think the cards should be bold, because in the UI above the chat bold/underline means it's your territory, shouldn't it be the same in both places?

if you defeat a player you can get their cards. If you really tried you could end up getting 20+ cards. However just typical playing could easily get you 6-9 cards after defeating someone
