Great but cosmetic critiques

The game is great and I’m loving the updates. But! I really hate how the ending buckets are on the top and bottom of the board and not on the left and right side. It’s confusing, pretty ugly, and frustrating to change the board to look anything different than how it traditionally does. It’s totally ruined my experience with the game and I find myself hardly playing it because I can’t adapt to this cosmetic change that doesn’t even look nicer or have any decent practical qualities.
