That looks like a fun game for a good company! :) Good job! I will try to gather 3-4 players and play it.

I think it must be really fun, I will try to test it as soon as possible. However, either I didn't understood something, either there is a mistake in the rules example : "For example, a had consisting of ♠3, ♠Q, ♣7, ♣K, ♡2, ♡A, ♢3, ♢6, would be worth 9 total points; 3 from the difference in clubs and spades, and 6 from the difference in diamonds and hearts." 3 + Q = 13 7 + K = 17 17 - 13 = 4, not 3? Also, given that there is no proper "card game" nor "table game" choice, but this is not a video game, I think you may use "Other (document)" as platform type for your game - but that's just my opinion. ;)

@lereveur Ah yes, that looks like a typo. Sorry about that, and thanks!

I did keep using Other (document) as my choice, but it kept changing back every time I edited the post. I must have missed it on the last edit :)

Oh, yes, I saw that issue too while editing mine. After a search, I saw that issue is mentionned yet on the project : https://github.com/ludumdare/ludumdare/issues/1485 Now, to test properly your game, I have to translate it in my language before, giving that I doubt my friends and sibling understand english enough XD

Yup, I'll try to play it as soon as I get a chance. But my guess is it's gonna be fun in proper company... ;) The score counting might be a bit clearer to be honest. I understood it differently before I read last comments.

This game is interesting and really worth spending time learning to play it. ;-) I hope you will manage to get enough ratings.

wow! a card game for LD. it deserves appreciation.

I like the bit of balance to the scoring system: A card that may be worthless to you may be valuable to some or all of the other players due to the score :slight_smile: In the same vein, there's an (extra?) reason for stashing; a player finaly can get to see (one of) the reversed card(s) they held, but at the cost of not having it in their hand any more.

I _love_ the concept, it _sounds_ like a ton of fun to have a hand half inward and half outward turned cards ... and I may even end up actually trying to play this if I get friends over. Sadly, I'm quite alone today, so I'll have to skip the 'Fun' rating. Should _maybe_ skip 'Overall' as well, but you're in dire need of ratings, while you rated plenty yourselves, so I'll try to make some sort of guess :slight_smile:

One idea: What if you could _choose_ to reveal or not reveal a card when bidding? You can open a card up to the other players when bidding, so they'll believe you, but then you have to pass up the opportunity to have it be completely unkown to them. It would've been even better if you could _reverse_ that property somehow, so that you get rewarded (by withholding info from them) when you play riskier (by offering an open card). ... or maybe you played around with that idea during dev. and it got nowhere?

One last thing: Not every locatlity/card-game defaults to 'Ace is one', so for example _'A-6'_ meaning 'Aces and 2 through 6' could potentially cause some confusion.

paveldlouhy 2017-12-28 20:35

Congratulations! You have more than 20 ratings! ;-)

Esports is a great activity, I myself have been playing for the CS team for several years. But now I try to give all my strength to gambling. I have been playing in casinos for a relatively short period of time but have had good results. All thanks to the gaming platform https://betsofa-official.com
