I am trying to play this as a new player, but am going to admit that it is pretty tough trying to experience it the way a new player would, lol.

I came across this game originally, by searching 'horse gene' games, as I was/am interested in genetics, and thought learning through a game would be the easiest & most fun way to learn. So here I am, playing my 10th year of HAJ on Bluegrass.

As a stay-at-home mom at the time, with my kids in school, I had plenty of free time. I remember very clearly, as a real new player, that there were are only limited things I could do on a daily bases with a limited budget. I was so hooked on the game right off the bat, but found myself grasping, trying to find things to do to occupy my time on the game. I even tried finding other similar online games, because I was so addicted to this one, but didn't have anything left to do on a day to day basis. And amazingly, this game still holds my attention, great job Ammit for keeping things fresh!

So on that note, if there are others like me, who love to be able to spend hours on the game (especially at the start), I always had this idea in my head that I thought would be fun. To have some kind of a match up game. If I cross 'a' horse with 'b' horse, what could the foal look like? (and have a reroll button to see the different possible genes it could inherit. Or something similar to the log on page, 'What Color Is This Horse?' Where you could plug in what color you think the displayed horse might be, and then be told which genes are correct, and you could keep guessing with clues until it is right.

These are just some side ideas, that might not directly impact ones stables, but could keep a person busy while actually learning genetics visually. It's not something that would be of interest to me now, as I have enough to maintain & keep me as busy as I want to be. But think something like this would have been a fun time waster 10 years ago for me. Just sharing from my experience :)
