I also want to redesign things all the time! Usually to simplify something a little more complicated than I prefer!
I was in the local H store the other day and decided I will go for the all-cards version of the Mini Bearn instead of the card+coin version. I was undecided until now... But I think coins in a Bastia is a much better idea. Adds one more element to the set and also protects the Bearn. BF thinks I'm ridiculous LOL
I had the chance to see a Mini Dogon too in Munich and loved the way it handles (can we say that about SLGs or is it a car thing lol). But I preferred the look of the Bearn.
Love warm pinks too! I might have to use yours as a reference! The cool pinks are nice too but when it veers too much to magenta it gets too purple for me. But I love pale lilac or dusty lilac... I know, it's confusing for me too.
