Great game! Could use a bit more clarification that your score is based off the center cards and not your hand, but other than that it's great!

Developer

Thanks! I didn't think of that, I'll be sure to specify.

Very nice game! Well polished, good music. I played 3 times, won one, tied one and lost one, so great AI work (in like, the older meaning of AI)

Developer

Thanks!

Incredibly unique concept! It felt a bit weighted towards whoever moves last, but on the whole I had a great time with the game and was very interested in the strategy I was applying to each move. Hope you can check out my game too!

Thanks!

I love this! It's a simple idea but innovative. I love making digital card games with playing cards. The kind of thing that is simple enough you could play with a buddy or two, while also being fun to play in a digital setting. It took me far too long to realise that clicking the draw pile was what passed the turn, so that may be something to look into, but this was crazy fun to say how simple it is. 

There's no like bonuses or special cards or anything, and that fits PERFECTLY. It doesn't need to be anything more than it is, because what it is works! 

Thanks for the experience! :D

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Others have mentioned the drawing card thing so that's something worth fixing.

interesting game, the art/music was quite nice. it didn't feel like there was all that much skill to the game and it felt kind of weird that you had to manually click draw card but was fun for a quick few games

Developer

Thanks! I agree there's room for more depth. I wanted to keep things simple, but maybe I went too simple.

A simple game, fun and entertaining. Nice job!! I think highlighting clickables (to bring about the other round and closing the [i]) would make the game more approachable.

Developer

Thanks! I'll definitely put more time towards the user experience next time.

Really enjoyed this one! Very nice little Card Game :D

Developer

Thanks!

Cool concept, the CPU is nice to play against because it's neither too smart or too dumb, and the overall game is quite fun, and the idea is surely something that can be expanded in some way or another, but, nevertheless, it's a nice game. Well done.

Developer

Thanks!

Lowkey will be playing this in real life, such a simple but effective concept. Might be interesting to see what happens to the strategy with more cards in the center of the table, or increasing the player's hand size. Definitely enjoyed my time playing, great submission!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I tested it before building and it's definitely more fun irl and with more people.

Simple card game, but fun would love a version where I can play against a real opponent. It seems like the AI always targets me first instead of trying to lower its own score.  Nice game and great job!

Developer

Thanks!
