Completely agree with the idea around delayed gratification (unless it’s too delayed, of course.) When I take one of those dead turns but can see I’m making progress, it feels great. Like those turns in Ganz Schön Clever when I’ve filled nothing in, but I know that next turn, I should be able to land three or four bonuses in a chain — that’s the good stuff right there.

Exactly,, and it's balancing those nothing turns with the "have all the things!" turns where the cleverness comes.
