#58186: "The fingers/chunks images are really confusing"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
So there are two issues with fingers and chunks that are really the same issue:

1. Rather than using the asset from the card, there's a new asset used for those items in your inventory, which doesn't appear on the cards and converters; this is -very- confusing for new players.

2. The "new" assets uses for fingers/chunks is visually confusing and almost identical to one another; it takes a lot of time staring at the screen to distinguish between them. It took me -multiple- games to realize they're not the same image and that the game implementation actually does distinguish between fingers and chunks, and even then it always takes extra time for me to be sure I don't get it wrong in a game.

Good solutions could be either:

1. isolate the fingers/chunks resource in the game assets and use that in game as well.
PRO: IT's the easiest answer, since it involves only swapping out the game assets.
CON: I'm guessing there's a reason that this wasn't how this was implemented before.
CON2: Honestly even the in-game assets aren't that great; they're the same color so it's pretty easy to confuse them if they aren't blown up enough to see the difference. Way better than "a brown bar with some dark lines against it", but still not that great.

or

2. Improve the in-game assets so they're clean and easier to distinguish, make a "fingers or chunks" icon taht is compatable with those, and use them in the cards in-game rather than continuing to use cards that don't match the pieces.
PRO: It would result in a very clear game that was also more accessible.
CON: It would be a lot more work.
CON: THe cards in the game would no longer look identical to the printed game.
