    "tier_cards_buy_bonus": "Each of the 4 Buy Bonus cards has its own accent colour matching escalating intensity: Easy=blue, Medium=purple, Hard=orange/red, Hardcore=dark red - and each card ALSO carries a row of 1-5 lit lightning-bolt pip icons (Easy=1 lit, Medium=2, Hard=3, Hardcore=5) that encodes the same risk ordering as a count/shape, not colour alone.",
    "colorblind_note_lane_state": "The core state that a colour-blind player most needs to distinguish - 'lane already cleared' vs 'lane not yet cleared' - is NOT colour-redundant in ordinary base-game play: an un-lit lane is a blue-purple CIRCLE with a printed multiplier number, and a cleared lane is a gold CIRCLE with a completely different pictogram (coin/drumstick icon, no number) in the same position - so shape-fill AND icon-vs-number both change together, which is safely distinguishable even under red-green colour blindness. In the free-spins bonus round the same distinction relies more heavily on colour alone (green oval = cleared vs purple oval = upcoming, same oval shape, same white-number-in-badge layout) - this is the one place in the game where colour is doing more of the work and a deuteranopic/protanopic player may need to rely on the chicken sprite's POSITION on the road (it always stands on/at the last cleared lane) as the position-based fallback cue, which the game does consistently provide.",
    "colorblind_note_buttons": "Cash Out vs GO is doubly redundant: different colour (gold vs green) AND different position (always left vs always right) AND different text label - safe for colour-blind users.",
    "colorblind_note_tiers": "Buy Bonus tier cards are redundant by colour, by text label (EASY/MEDIUM/HARD/HARDCORE), and by the lit-bolt-count pictogram - safe."
