Card Games - Tumblr Posts
i finally have my very own SquidPope themed playing card backs!
now to see about printing some card-type things.
Played the board game Arcs for the first time yesterday! There are a lot of good things to say about this game's design. The turns are snappy, the trick-taking action system is genius, and declaring/scoring ambitions makes you think long and hard on the hand of cards you're given. But I wanted to draw attention to one specific design choice that likely went unnoticed by many, but is invaluable in my eyes.
The design choice in question is the way which HP is tracked on buildings and units! For those of you who have never played a war game before, HP can be a pain to track for individual units, and Arc's entire design philosophy is to deliver the war game experience while minimizing the busywork. And when you have up to a dozen individual pieces on the board per-faction, that can become a real problem.
How Arcs solves this is to use the geometry of the game pieces. Every ship can either be upright (2 HP), on its side (1 HP), or removed from the board (0 HP).
Likewise, every building token is double sided, having both "healthy" and "damaged" sides which you can flip over when taking damage. This also simplifies the math in the game to mere counting. No need to use a calculator here!
Choices like this, while not particularly impactful with how players interact with the rules of the game, are vital to how players interact with the experience of the game.
Simply put, when making a game, keep in mind the physical space your players will be playing in. It might alert you to some problems, and if you're wise, might even offer you some solutions!

He's hot, he's always shirtless, he's from an obscure property with deep, interesting lore that you could spend hours infodumping about, the main thing he does is gaslight and manipulate the truth, often by just telling the truth, and at one point he turns good and gets with the lady with immense magical power that controls birds Tumblr needs to get on him asap and ship him with every OC you've got

As a child my friend and I played some yugioh and she had (still has) this beautiful card that we absolutely loved. It’s still my favorite card today.
Honestly St Joan is such a pretty card to my young self since I was so involved in religion back then too this made my heart soar.
I really want her to be the first card I ever cosplay but I’ve never seen her full body? So I decided to look it up!
AND WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE WEARING. I FELT SO ASSUALTED WHEN I SAW THIS THAT I HAD AN ULCER AND NOW IM TECHNICALLY DEAD. SOMEONE STOP ME FROM CALLING KAZUKI TAKAHASHI BECAUSE GIRL THOSE SHOES AND PANTS ARE A FUCKING CRIME. GOOD DAY YALL.
