Add that when choosing "Auto Play Cards" bots dealt their cards with the same option enabled. I spend more time animating the bot to lay out its cards one by one than the match itself.
Digital version of Star Realms has quite fast actions and animations for AI opponents, as seen here.
Perhaps a bit too fast to follow in ToT (because of patrons as well as additional mechanics not seen in SR), but there's definitely a point between what can be seen in SR and what we have now where the AI matches wouldn't be made up of 75% waiting for the opponent to finish playing their cards, 20% waiting for your animations to play out and 5% being actual playing.
