Cards, not tiles

The whole game weighs twelve ounces and deals like a hand of cards. This is the argument, one column each.

Play Away one dot card with a large corner index and a dotted-star border — A Play Away card, to scale.

A tile, drawn. We don't sell them.

Racks were the upgrade I didn't know I needed. Cards stay put, hands stay secret.
