HOW TO PLAY This game bears general mechanics of a card game. You play in turns. In each turns you can play any number of cards as long as you have influence points (golden coins). Each card has it's own cost and effects.
There're two types of cards: those that effect or affect opponent stats (red header), and those that effect or affect your stats (green header).
Stats are: 1. Community - your reputation among the folks 2. Politics - your reputation among polititians 3. Criminal - your reputation among mobs All these stats add up to the general reputation. Each player starts with 6 reputation (2 for each stat).
As soon as any of the stats goes lower than -20 or general reputation reaches -30 player looses. If the general reputation reaches 30 player wins.
Are the odds fudged in favor of the computer? The AI seems to just get better cards while I rarely get a hand that I can afford to play more than a single card from.
Nive style, but more cards needed. And it seems that randomizer don't like me as I couldn't get any cards increasing community and my oppenent had many "-comminuty" cards...
Well polished, interesting game. Not sure how it fits the theme, but it was fun anyway! Could be really impressive with some post-LD expansion and fine tuning! Good entry! :)
Not a fan of card games so my fun judgement might be a bit harsh in some people's eyes. I liked the graphics but it just looked like a pretty wrapper around a simple numbers game, and my numbers always seemed to be lower. The strategy is far less important than getting good cards.
I really enjoyed playing this game. From mechanic standpoint it's too much based on luck but you still have to make smart decisions to win. I really like art and music.
Like the game, also the way that you see how AI is kinda considering his moves =) I think it would be cool is different stats also had some effects on some cards - like you can get -2 politics to opponent in addition to -1 IF you have +5 criminal or more (and stuff like that). That way you will have strategy to first get this much criminal before using this card, but it will be more cost effective than card without this sort of effects. But that is just a thought. Great job anyway!
Nice game overall. I feel like I have few options in every turn (I -almost- always get 3 and 4 cards so I only can use 1 per turn). There is a bug in the internet troll card, it decreases community counter instead of politics one (or it was the opposite? :S).
Nice idea, it has potential. Right now is just matter of adding or substracting numbers. But adding some special cards, maybe something as simple as inmunities or multiplicators would make for a nice game.
