It's pretty rough, unpolished, and not very user friendly...but I'm enjoying it so far. Dominion meets a Post Apocalyptic Stock Sim, why not?
Was I missing something obvious or can I not see my character's ability described in-game?
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the game.
A general description of each character's ability can be found on their Cast! page and the character selection line.
In terms of in-game descriptions... for characters that allow you to buy stocks at a reduced price or sell stocks at a higher price the effect is displayed in the buy/sell values. So, someone like Theodore Wiggles-Roach with the +1 sell bonus for ammo will show up as 3/3 instead of the normal 3/2 for 3 stock value cards in the pile.
For the other characters it's not visible(except Lord Fat Pockets who starts the game with 2 BC cards instead of 1 BC cards) and the discounts or bonuses are silently applied behind the scenes. For example, the rumour cards still display their regular cost for Mad Barrington but when he buys them to add to his deck it's at cost-1.
A bit of a miss on the user friendliness side. In the physical game you would have the character card sitting in front of you with that information but that piece of information is missing in the apps.
Ahh, good to know at least with most of the abilities you can just see the effects in the buy/sell prices!
Although how hard would it be to just allow a link in-game to the Cast pages?
