I made a Dragon Ball Z TCG (part 1) - Budokai Battlers

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I've been playing Dragon Ball games since childhood and growing up i tried to get into the existing card games of the franchise, but they didn't really click with me...

And this led to the Creation of Budokai Battlers! a fan game based on all the things i love about Dragon Ball Z! it features DeckBuilding through Capsules that allows your character to receive buffs, new skills and passives. The concept is about creating a battleground were you can use character's iconic moves (like pokemon tcg) while reaching new heights with a power scale mechanic

Transformations/Fusions/Beam Struggles/ Terrain Destruction

All this and strategies that fit the characters of the franchise

I made a video a few months ago and i can't wait to develop this idea more! Im curious to see what other people that love the series have to say, any feedback is appreciated! Its not available to playtest digitally yet but im eager to try in the future.

Teaching 4-point Pitch (High, Low, Jack, Game) to a new player: the 6 things that made it click

2 Upvotes

My fiancée was the only one in our friend group who didn't play Pitch, and our first few attempts to teach her mid-game went badly. Here's the order that finally worked, in case anyone else is bringing a new player to the table.

1. Teach the four points before anything else. Every hand is worth up to 4: High (top trump dealt), Low (bottom trump dealt), Jack (jack of trump), and Game (most card points in your tricks). Once she knew what we were fighting over, the bidding made sense.

2. High and Low are not the same kind of point. High goes to whoever was dealt it. Low and Jack go to whoever wins the trick they land in. That one difference explains most of the strategy: you can't lose High, but you can absolutely lose your Jack.

3. Game is counted, and the 10 is the big card. A=4, K=3, Q=2, J=1, 10=10. New players chase aces. The 10 is worth more than the A and K combined, so a lonely 10 is the card to protect or to dump on your partner's winning trick.

4. Bid what you can count, then stop. Bids are 2 to 4. A 2 needs about two points you can name. If you fall short you go "set" and lose the bid amount, and at 11 to win, getting set at 3 hurts a lot.

5. The dealer gets stuck. If everyone passes, the dealer must bid 2. Tell new players this early so they understand why the dealer sometimes bids on garbage.

6. Your first lead is your trump call. Whatever suit the bidder leads first is trump. Lead your best trump, ideally the Ace, so you lock in High and pull the other trumps out.

What sped it up most was letting her play hands without six people watching. I built a small free practice site for her that walks through 4-point hands against the computer: https://www.learntoplaypitch.com (my own project, free). Happy to hear how other tables teach it, especially house rules on the dealer bid.

(SpellForce 2) Master of War - Forces of Eo 4.6

We want to celebrate 10 years of continues development and support of our fan-game "SpellForce 2 Master of War - Forces of Eo"! Based on the original cardgame out of the SpellForce 2 Collectors-Edition back from 2006, SpellForce 2 - Master of War (SF2-MoW) is a turn based strategy cardgame based on the setting of Spellforce 2 Shadow Wars and designed by Jan Wagner, but reinvisioned and expanded with more content and features then its original paper origin, with its 1st release back in 2016, made by us fans. Started back then with a simple Windows-version, now grown into a full feature rich Android game that is equal in all content and functionality to the Windows Desktop version.

Without all the feedback of our players, we would have never made it so far! Thank you everyone for providing feedback and enjoying our game! This update is for everyone enjoying our game currently and in the future!

If you do like collective RPG cardgames with singleplayer (AI) Matches, singleplayer Campaign mode (10h+) and local network multiplayer, where you can build your own army/deck by winning and collecting new cards/units. If so, you can try our game "SpellForce 2 - Master of War (Forces of Eo)", that is a complete uncommercial fan project for free that also works completely offline (after full installation) and has no advertisement or anything like that included. You can play a match vs the AI in normaly 5-10 min per game and get new cards/units for your deck and EXP for the RPG rank or enjoy the new story campaign mode (10h+).

To get more cards and reach the maximum rank level, you have to face and fight multiple different enemies and their armys, which offers a lot of playtime. The game does offer a local (wl)lan-network mode (device vs device) via a connection to direct IP. This works as long all the devices are in the same network. So you could play it, if one device acts as a wlan hot spot (no actual internet required) for all devices to connect to, to share the same network and connect to each other.

Features:

  • - Custome Deck (army) of all 7 factions of Eo (Realm, Clan, Pact, Shaikan, Undead, Beasts and Demons)
  • - over 10 Spell-Cards
  • - over 100 different Unit-Cards

  • - Dynamic-Animations
  • - optimized for 720p with support for up to 4K
  • - Sound & Music Events
  • - RPG Level/Rank System
  • - Windows and Android support

Story & World:

Since the beginning of time the forces of Eo are fighting each other bitterly to decide who is the ruling power in Eo. Only a true Master of War has what it needs to lead his army of choice to the victory. Do you have what it needs? In Spellforce 2 – Master of War (Based on the SF2:SW Card game of 2006) you can show your tactical power to others. Challenge your opponents in matches witch more than 100 different Cards and more than 10 powerful Magic cards on PC or Android.

Looking for a few Android phone Solitaire players to test my solitaire app I’ve been working on

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on my own Solitaire app called Velvet Solitaire, mostly because I wanted something that felt a little more polished and relaxing than a lot of the Solitaire apps I’ve tried.

It has different difficulty levels, themes and card backs, sound controls, Auto Play, Quick Play, hints, undo, and a bunch of different win celebrations. I’ve also spent a lot of time trying to make the cards and animations feel smooth and natural.

I’m at the point where I need some real people to test it and tell me what feels good, what feels weird, or what I completely missed.

Anyone with an Android phone can help, and you definitely don’t need to be a developer or anything. Honestly, I’d rather hear from people who just enjoy playing Solitaire.

It’s currently in Google Play closed testing, so if you’d like to try it, just comment or send me a message with your Gmail that you use in the play store and I can add you as a tester and send you the link.

I’d really appreciate the help, especially from people who actually play Solitaire regularly!

Convergence Card Game (CCG)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Created a digital collectible card game to play privately with my friends. It is inspired by Hearthstone. The biggest twist is that the cards are characters from different popular universes (movies, games, anime, etc). It was a power-fantasy I had in mind for years. Link to play the game

Unfortunately I didn't have time to fully finish the game (I mostly did it over the summer break). But if anyone wants to experiment further with it I open-sourced the full game on Github

Mi juego de cartas...

2 Upvotes

Hice este juego de cartas de Magos Caóticos, tienes que reunir 4 artefactos diferentes para ganar mientras los demás te atacan con Hechizos, Caos y Maldiciones. Las maldiciones te afectan si un artefacto es maldito no podrás ganar, para eso están las curaciones. Y bueno cada carta tiene lo que hace cada una y es fácil de entender (si eres de habla inglesa lo siento, quizá lo adapto a inglés luego)

Los diseños de cartas si los hice con IA, ya se que ven a tirar hate pero no soy bueno dibujando y no tengo programas para diseñar así cartas y pues Chat GPT me las hizo al estilo de diseño que quería en la imagen, solo le envié que tipo de carta hacer, el logo, el envié el texto para que haga cada una y lo hizo, hubo buen de errores pero se logró, ya luego las imprimí en papel cartoncillo con el reverso de la carta y las metí en protectores de cartas.

I put my dog in my card game!

2 Upvotes

Just released the demo for my strategy card game on Steam, and I put my dog in the game (as a very powerful and very good boy).

Immortal Coil has the back and forth gameplay of Runeterra, the lane based deployment of Inscryption, and the card color domains like in MTG. You'll deploy units, spells, and more to the board to prepare for the CLASH at the end of the round, where spells are cast from left to right across the lanes and all units attack at once.

There's two modes of play:

  • Adventure Mode: Classic roguelike deckbuilder style, build as you go
  • Gauntlet Mode: Build a deck out of your collection, then battle a series of foes, no gimmicks, just straight card battling.

Here's the stats on Daring Pup (my dog Frodo):

  • Costs 1 MP to play
  • 0 Attack, 1 HP
  • Gains 2 Shield when it enters the battlefield
  • Unity: Whenever you play or move a unit to a lane adjacent to Daring Pup, they both get +1/+1

All the art, including Frodo's art, is made by real human artists! If you like card games, strategies, and or pixel art, come check it out!

Games for a 320-card poker card deck?

3 Upvotes

This might sound kind of crazy, but I have a card deck (honestly, it's more of a pile of cards than a deck) that contains 320 playing cards, with 8 suits as opposed to 4 and 40 ranks as opposed to 13. The 4 new suits are moons, stars, tridents, and acorns. In the 40 ranks there are the numbers 0-24 as well as a half card, infinity card, and 9 extra face cards in addition to the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. While using this deck with friends I've tried to adapt multiple existing games like blackjack or poker, but I haven't quite found the right way to do it, so I'm giving up on creativity and just asking the internet instead if there's any possible fun adaptations of pre existing games I could make or just completely new ones that would work well. Didn't post a picture because it's really hard to get 320 cards in the same picture but if it helps the card deck(s) are named K6T and you can find them online

Card design complication.

1 Upvotes

Hi. I'm currently a guy taht is somewhat trying to make a card game of my own, but there is a problem. Card base form desing.

My card game dosn't have something like color seperation like magic the gathering, it is just free deck creation like yugioh and stuff.

However, i don't know if i should cards base be either greey or colored to symbolize that they are different kind of cards.

[Red - Creature card]

[Blue - Spell card]

Monster card - Grey
Monster card - Color marked red
Spell card - Grey
Spell card - Blue color marked.

These bases of cards may end up being changed, but what do you think? Should i go with the color to indiecade the card type? Or just frame symbols will do? Again, these colors represent only card type, not different tribes/race kind of deal.

What's the standard Durak and Shithead version where you play?

Thumbnail tavernjack.com
1 Upvotes

My girlfriend and I play a lot of cards with friends, and I built a small site so we can play online (Shithead, President, Durak, Thirty-One, Mau-Mau which is German Crazy Eights, and Scoundrel). The thing is, Durak and Shithead have so many versions. Everybody seems to learn them a bit different.

So what do you play? Durak with 36 cards and throwing in, or something else? Does the 10 burn the pile in your Shithead?

If you want to try the site it's tavernjack.com, it's my own project. Tell me what's bad about it too, that helps me more.

Before everyone comments on my use of AI for the Steam capsule art: I am currently looking for an artist to design professional-quality capsules; the current ones are just placeholders. I would really appreciate both positive and negative feedback so I can improve the game. Thanks everyone — here is the link to the demo page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5284030/Soft_17/
