Thanks for the feedback!
I've been working on an improved shader for the CRT effect - so once we can update it should be much more pleasant! Just an issue with web browser refresh rates affecting the quality. Good thought on the right-click reminder, I will add it!
Our goal was to push faction-advantages through soft-synergies and starting you with a set of faction cards, but we have since also discussed some more effects that care for the factions (an Event that cares about you playing your own faction's cards for example).
We've loved making this so much that we are discussing continuing it in the future, so keep an eye out!
