I feel like I'm doing something horribly wrong here. There's lets everywhere, a whole bunch of code repetition, and overall the whole thing feels way too verbose and weird. I tried to take a top-down approach with programming the game, but I feel like I totally missed the mark. I'm not entirely sure if my approach of making Player and Card records was a good one, and I don't feel like I'm really taking advantage of Clojure's strengths here.

How can I improve this code, and the project in general? How would someone who's better at programming in Lisp than I am approach a problem like this? Does what I'm doing make sense, or is it in need of serious refactoring?
