Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
My goal (21st June / Solstice) was to have "more Poets in the top half than the bottom half of the pier."
Because online we build our pier horizontally, from left to right, I interpreted "top" as the upper portion of the pier above the chairs. Thus, I thought I put all six of my Poets on the top of my pier.
But it looks like from the rules and screenshots that play in real life is done vertically, from bottom to top. This also makes sense for the readability of card text. That meant I had placed all six of my Poets on the left side of the pier. In the end, I had placed an equal amount of Poets in the top as bottom, and I failed the goal.
Perhaps for the online implementation, the rule could be "more Poets at the end than the beginning of the pier."• What is your browser?

- Does it mean the top half of the *cards* you added to your pier?
- Or the top half of the *sections* on all your pier cards?
- And what happens when either of those is an *odd number*: does the middle card or section count for top, bottom, or not at all?

ufm • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Answers for the second comment:
- the game states half of 'the pier', not half of the cards. So the latter is correct.
- FAQ and Plan card tooltip address this: the center section counts in your favor.

I still don’t see it mentioned in the FAQ, but maybe just overlooking something.
