This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive

UPDATE 2
I've now put up a web version. There are no new features (actually some features like custom names and saving were removed to make it work) but the code was changed quite a bit to make it work online so this should probably be considered a post-competition version.
Hopefully everyperson can at least try it now.
A collectible card game named "the best".
Requires Python 2.x (may also work in Python 3), downloadable from www.python.org
Download the ZIP, unzip the contents somewhere and run "python menu.py" or alternatively (on Windows) double click on run.bat
You can manually delete the file savegame to delete your save file.
The entire game plays on the command line. There was no time for the planned GUI. So the .zip file is actually 3 times smaller than the screenshot :)
UPDATE 1
I'm looking into putting up a web based server side version this weekend. For the moment, here is an alternative mirror if Fileden goes down:
http://www.filedropper.com/best
(except this one is not a direct link).
And finally here's another attempt to explain what a card does.
By example (from the screenshot):
The card
3-4 1:opp discard
swaps positions 3 and 4. If the current order is BFDEAC (as in the screenshot), it becomes BFDAEC (A and E are swap). After the swap, if position 1 matches the goal (it does not since F isn't B), your opponent discards a card (if it doesn't match as in this case, there is no second effect).
Generally:
The card
a-b x1:effect1 x2:effect2 x3:effect3 ...
swaps positions a and b. After the swap, if position x1 matches the goal, it triggers effect1. After the swap, if position x2 matches the goal, it triggers effect2. And so on.
