You could easily fit 8 cards in there with minimal or no resizing of the cards themselves. The "show smaller cards" button is a welcome addition, but it resets every turn. It's also annoying to get mixed PP cards with Artifact cards and Fate cards. It's often that I find myself having to always go to the 2nd or even 3rd screen of a stratagem category, because the first page is will keep the rarely-played fate cards. In the case of the Nation tab, if you have 3 cults, you always end up getting 3 "Discuss cult policy" in the first page.

(Maybe Vic is using 1920x1200 too, which is a resolution that used to be common on professional screens ?)
EDIT : Changed the screenshots to ones from an older, v1.12 game, but with at least 9 different Stratagems per type.
What I see with effective 1920x1200 :

- Keep "Small Stratagems" mode over turns: The default big strategems view is nice for learning, but soon enough in a game I collect so many unused strategems it becomes very cumbersome having only 4 shown at one time and they are designed well enough that it is easy to tell them apart in small mode. So now part every new turn action is "enable Small Strategems mode". Just keep the box checked throughout turns.
