The unfortunate thing is that feedback is least needed in your stable, regular setup - and that'd be the only place where you get out the hardware solution.
I most often hear things fail when people are out and about (in a coffee shop, in a meeting room, using new headphones, etc.)

Hmm, is there a software solution for this kind of feedback? Or would that be too laggy/distracting.

There are plenty of other bonkers cards I didn't happen to draw, check them out here: www.ccgtrader.net/games/sim-ci...
(My favorites: The Forbidden City, a "Ghost Removal Service", the leaning tower YMCA, and the Mayfair Games card that's just a picture of a brick wall.)

And finally, a little easter egg card - Maxis!
I think the game would've been 10x more charming if every card were pixel art instead of mediocre photos of buildings.

And now we come to the reason I was fascinated when hearing this game, the extra tall cards. Some of these make sense but my city could randomly have the Sphynx?!?
(XL cards are optional in a second deck; sadly you don't just shuffle them into your deck of normal-sized cards to draw later...)

Disasters are represented by newspaper articles. Sadly I didn't pull the "monster attacks!" card but as a midwesterner I find it hilarious that one of the local disasters is "winter!"

Skiing was big enough in the 90s that "ski manufacturer" was an important part of a city's local industry.

Apparently no one could find ANY better picture to represent a local monument than a badly-cropped backside of a horse statue.

Someone on the development team had a weird obsession with colonial-style homes... and colonial-style class hierarchy?

There's a lot of council members with extreme 90s style. I especially love the gigantic cell phone.
Some of council members are explicitly corrupt! And check out the style of the City Council Chairman - kind of looks like someone stole a company holiday party pic from their uncle.

Most of the cards are normal places, but there's a surprising number of "random street address" cards.
"Oh noooo, he just played 4269 Cornelia St!"
