All in the cards

Towers of London was originally created with a strict rule for the competition I entered it in: No Cards.  This gave birth to the idea of rolling dice to gain Industrial points at the beginning of each turn.  But it was hard for me, because I love cards!  So another evolution of this game has now occurred.  I have begun to design cards which will give players goals to achieve, increased construction output, extra industrial point rolls, and several other fun things to do while building all those factories and towers.  Once I started designing the cards, I realized that ToL had originally played like Ticket to Ride without any routes!  The cards will definitely add some excitement and theme.
