Taking a new card game I made to Strategicon this year in addition to my perpetual motion machine game. It's a combo tableau builder where all players get to resolve cards that match the card you play in the middle. There's only 8 unique effects but the combos get pretty crazy #boardgames

How is Cartomantic going? I found this game way after the playtest ended so I didn't get a chance to play. Feels like it could really scratch the Balatro itch. I'd love to play a demo
