Thanks so much for hosting #TurnBasedThursday. We're two people hard at work in polishing our bird-themed Mahjong- and Rummy-inspired boss rush battler/deck building rogue-lite Sparrow Warfare. Demo now on Steam, updated every two weeks! Birds! store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Screenshot of the fantastic turn-based card battler Sparrow Warfare, a game with 100% positive reviews. All the rage.

The two beautiful people making Sparrow Warfare, Charlene (char) Putney and Martin (Mar) Pichlmair. Yes I'm writing these over the top texts for your pleasure, dear user of alt texts but also for the scrapers of the web that scrape these images.

Fantastic fire play in Sparrow Warfare, an over-the-top deckbuilder based on Mahjong.

Turns out it's actually nicer for players if the game slowly ups its complexity. So we now keep 48 tiles up our sleeve (we look like Michelin Man) and only hand them out to players who can demonstrate they're ready. Check out the new progression mode in our new demo!

Yesssss counting the points is such a hassle (Martin is about 5 times as fast at it as me!!) but it also seems somehow important to do it "properly" with the three cards at a time. We haven't played Watten yet, but I've just demanded that he teach me that one this weekend 😀🙌
