For a 1st game and solo developed, you have delivered a lot of content.  Did you have some of the artefacts developed prior?  I can see this being a good game to continue developing

Thank you!
It's not the first game I ever made, like I posted in the game description; it's just the first game outside the study field!
Actually, I have made a game before. I've some skills, and it's the truth that I didn't use anything from my old games for this, though.
Because this is my first game jam, I want to test my skills and see if I can make a game within 4 days!

Wow that gets deep fast.  Great work!  Keep developing it!

Really fun game, I loved the music and the satisfying balance of numbers. It’d be great to see clearer card info and fix the overlapping issue.

Thank you!
I will fix it eventually!

This is a first time I have played a city management game that works on a browser, and as a fan of that genre I of course like this game a lot!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Congratulations on your first Jam and game! This one was a first for me as well! I really liked the music and sfx. Both were a pleasure to listen to while my kingdom fell into poverty. I would really like to be able to get a closer look at the cards to get a better understanding of what each one does. A short description for each might be nice, but not necessary. There were a couple of times where I would get cards, but they'd overlap, making their stats unreadable. Besides that, I really liked it and I hope you take this game further!

Developer

Thank you! 
I appreciate your concern, that's the problem I try to resolve too.
Also, congratulations on your first game!

This game was really fun! There's something satisfying about watching the numbers go up and down and trying to balance them. Though, the game would go on infinitely once I got enough towns, and the turns would become really long after collecting a lot of cards. It would be nice if a future version of this game had random events that could sabotage you. 

Developer

Thank you!
Also, the random chaotic event is a mechanic I planned even before making the game. I hope you'll be able to play my game again when it's fully released!

Loved the challenge here — finding that balance kept me hooked, and it was so satisfying when the strategy finally clicked. I could easily see myself sinking hours into a full version of this.

Developer

Thank you!
I will try my best to provide a new experience when it's fully released!

Cool tableau builder. I tried to build an infinite combo but alas. I would definitely play a fully fledged version of the game. This game has a lot of potential!

Developer

Thank you for playing!
I want to add at least 10 new cards to make it more complete!

This game is tough! Keeping a balance of everything is really hard. But it's really fun to watch the numbers go up once you manage to get that ball rolling!

It would make for a fun little Steam game if you polish it a bit!

Developer

Thank you!
And yeah, I want this game to be very challenging, worth the type of management game it is!
In the future, I want to make a micro-management game, so this is the first step!
