Looking for mostly publisher input on this -
Working on my first "micro game". It can have 31 cards and 4 small cubes or 27 cards and ask players to use pen and paper to track scores. The 4 extra cards and cubes are score trackers and player aids on 1 card (for each player). Would you rather publish a game with the 31 cards and 4 cubes or 27 cards and a bit of disappointment to players from a monetary perspective?
I was pointed to this image on BGG as a possible solution:

I think this looks a bit messy.
What do you think?
