I’ve built a module to help me test a prototype I’m working on. My game uses cards and color-coded markers for each player.  
Cards are dealt from the top of the deck on to the table and markers are placed on top of these cards.

In the module, there is one deck for the main deck of cards and four ‘decks’ that represent the marker tokens… one deck for each player. I used a deck of cards because there are a fixed number of each token per player.

So, a number of cards are dealt from the main deck onto the board. Then, players may place tokens from their deck on top of the cards. This all works okay. I had to turn stacking off so the players could position their markers freely on the cards… position matters.

If the game is saved, however, when re-opened, the markers are now below the cards.  
Any ideas?
