The cards are interesting, they include a card to force shuffle the deck in order to make sure there is some randomness in the outcomes.

Even with the forced shuffle cards, the outcomes fall too much in the bell curve and make the game feel sterile. Because if you get a flood of 5’s and 6’s you know a drought is soon upon you.

Well, get creative and find some middle ground. Maybe add a rule that player that has no cards on hand and gets no resources in this turn can reshuffle.
