Fun Idea, The theme feels like a substitute for health, but then again so does a lot of games here... even my own. neat Idea and nice art. Might I suggest changing the wording on your cards a bit, instead of saying discard this card from your hand to activate it. when this card is activated... you could just say, discard this card to... no need for a key word if it is not a universal action. just my opinion though.
Love that you made a tabletop card game :) Going to try and print out and play this.
I love the idea and the fact that you concentrated on the game aspect instead of thinking "Oh, how can I put this on my screen?" Brilliant idea, innovative and great work!
@Gep - thank you for the good ideas and kind comments! I agree it felt kind of cheap to only use the theme on a single level, but we had brainstormed a bunch of ideas, and we thought this was the best.
@kalyrical - Thank you, I would love to hear your feedback!
@Spice135 - Yeah, this was a new experience for us! Thank you very much.
I like how this can be played easily with common components. You'd just need a reference card for what the different suites do and you could play anywhere.
I played with three people and we found most of the card types to be not that useful. Since the ultimate goal is to survive the longest, diamonds are really the only useful card, and hearts are somewhat useful only for their ability to find more diamonds for you. The bombs didn't seem very useful at all, since if anyone put down a useful card (a diamond), they would pick it up immediately. It could be interesting to have a goal of reaching a certain point on the table instead of just surviving.
