One of my favourite games on kongregate. The only thing I can think of to improve it would be to add some additional sounds during multiplayer play (such as an obvious "end turn" sound you can turn on). Some people are really slow, so I like to be able to browse other pages while I play, but if they do nothing during their turn, I sometimes don't realize it's my turn right away if I'm busy on another page.
Fun game! On The Winding Road, the countess played Aura of Silence, and instead of expiring the next turn, it lasted for about 7 or 8, with both of us unable to play any cards. I agree with some of the other people posting that the game needs more difficulty, but as a first game with a sequel coming out soon, this was excellent.
