How does the game fit the theme?
Every round, all players see the same cards and pick at the same time. The high-value cards are tempting, but if a rival(s) grabs the same one, the points get split. You have to guess what everyone else is going to do, so you question whether or not do you trust them to pick something else, or are they just as greedy as you?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The applause is a stock sound effect, but everything else was made by the team.

Simple but fun!
Super easy to understand and jump into immediately. Good execution. Not super tightly fit to the jam theme.
The most interesting aspect of rock-paper-scissors like guessing systems is trying to understand and outthink a human opponent. So with bots, they need to have some sort of human tendencies to make this more than just a random guessing game. If they do have tendencies and habits, it's hard to associate playing patterns with the other players because it's not easy to tell who picked what card.
Overall, really solid entry and one of the easiest games to jump right into.
Thank you for such a comprehensive review!
Very easy to play and to win! Really liked it.
Thank you! We're glad you liked it!
this is so cute! I hope it gets like a couch co-op or online multiplayer feature so we can play with friends!!
We would love to make that! Thank you for the idea!
Very interesting idea and very cute artstlye, good job :)
Thank you so much!
The Visuals are awesome!! I really like these type of probability puzzle game if I'm using that words correctly, nicee game!!
Thank you so much! Yeah, that's a good description! I always love games that have a bit of randomness.
The Visuals is pretty good! i love it !
Thank you!
Very cute game! Unfortunatly, I think it is not working right; when I and other player choose the same card, the value does not split.
Oh no! Thank you for telling us that, we'll have a look!
Very nice little game. It has a clear idea and good execution. Sometimes it's not obvious who picked the same card but other than that there are no complaints.
Thank you! We were hoping to implement a colour feature where the cards would turn the colour of the character that chose it to make it a bit clearer - or have some little hand cursors for each player - but we sadly ran out of time.
Very cute game! I love the little guys! The green one is my fav :3
Thank you! The green one is so precious, I loved designing him so, so much.
Very clever. Having to continue picking from the smaller and smaller sets of cards really adds depth to the idea. Also very cute! Game might be even better if you played it with 4 real friends instead of the AI. Kinda hard to know how they are going to think.
Thank you!! A multiplayer version would be amazing as you'd get more intense gameplay like in real life when you can tell someone is going to win if you don't swipe the card they need.
As soon as I heard the music, I knew I was into a cute lil cozy game!
It felt a bit too easy tough... Perhaps mixing up the rules of the game itself would make it more interesting, rather than just making a better computer player.
As short as it was, I really liked it! Great work!
Thank you! We loved making it!
Thats an interesting idea! It would definitely spice up the gameplay!
I feel like you can play with maximal greed in your heart every round and just win. The AI may be a bit too passive. Love the art and visuals though!
The poor little guys! Thank you for the feedback!
I like the simplicity and visuals. I think the opponents should try harder to win, every my game I was ending up winning
Thank you for the feedback!
Game was fun for sure and simple. I won most of the time xD, guess I'm very smart. I like the idea and how it looks could become a real multiplayer game eventually.
We'd love it to be a multiplayer! That's the concept we had in mind if this was to become a full game.
The game is simple but I love this gameplay, it's very calm and fun.
Thank you!
Great tabletop card game, reminds me of Blackjack. Love the three cute animal characters on the board!
Thank you! I'm so happy you love the characters!
Simple game; loved the idea, but it could be a better game as it has a lot of potential. All the best!
Thank you! We really appreciate the feedback
Really liked the visuals and sound design of the game! This game reminds of skibbo . The just game misses some "puzzle" or thinking to it as I assume the "other players" (bots) take cards randomly? and you can just spam high rewarding cards and will win almost certainly.
Even if I spammed the highest number and won instantly, there should be punishment or something in between.
Thanks, we would've liked to implement more dedicated player bots, but we were short on time.
