I find it hard to imagine that the designer's intent was that you have to resolve the dice in a particular order. After all, nowhere in the rules does it say this. And it would make hearts totally useless if you happen to roll a claw on your last roll. IMHO, you can resolve the dice in any order you want. Anything else is a house rule.
I agree, and disagree with the notion that a fixed order would add strategy.
Not sure if it will add an interesting strategy.
For example:
It's your turn to roll the dices, only 2 hearth left, 7 VP. In fear of being switched to Tokyo you try to roll your hearths, it's your survival strategy for now.
- first roll: yeah!! 2 hearths, i put them aside.
- second roll: want more... yeah! another hearth and two claw
- i don't want that 2 claws so i do my 3rd and roll 1-2-claw
So my strategy is to maximize my hearths, doing well for 3 hearths, but that one claw stopped me from being healed???... hmmm not sure.
Next time i'll play i'll think about what interesting layer it may add, but i have some doubt that's a needed layer, will see... maybe i'll enjoy :-)
