I have two Expandable Card Games I have been developing for quite a while now. 1. Treasure Hunters ECG, an Indiana Jones style setting where your team is trying to find Treasures and get them home before the other players do. 2-4 players.

Dune is such an epic. So massive in scope, the primary action of the first 3 novels is focused on Arrakis, the Fremen, and the conflicts over Spice. It deserves an epic card game, because the old Dune CCG from 30 years ago was over-complicated and cumbersome. Dune deserves slick modern gameplay.

I put very little thought or energy into the "alpha gamer problem" as a designer. There are a lot of such bugaboos that you can't really solve without stripping the life out of many designs. It's not my job to tell your pushy friend to shut up during your turn. That's a boundary you need to set.

Played Ticket To Ride with the visiting family (non-gamers), everyone had a great time and really enjoyed it. I won with 146. My wife bought me Roll For The Galaxy. ❤️ Her. Now I have a new project, read and comprehend the rules.

I moved to a different dueling system altogether. But it's good, and includes more hidden information which is good for a hacking theme. Finished my prototype card frames in Dextrous for the ease of exporting into TTS. Love that tool.

Vergent Games @vergent.bsky.social · 24/12/2024
One does not simply make a quick start guide for a game. This is a serious exercise in editing my own work. Condensing without losing clarity. And trying hard to cut things out that do not have a direct bearing on a new players first game or two. 1/2

Vergent Games @vergent.bsky.social · 22/12/2024
As another positive bit of progress. I got all my MD cards imported into TTS. Now I just need the playmats imported. And we'll be ready for TTS playtesters.

Vergent Games @vergent.bsky.social · 22/12/2024
Finally settled on a dueling system I like for Metaverse Duels. I've worked on the comprehensive rules document. Now I'm trying to streamline and just cover the basics in a Quick Start rules document. Cutting out details is TOUGH.

Been doing more iterations on my hacker vs #hacker #cardgame #design. My hacking mechanic felt flat and predictable, which is bad for a game about hacking. Previous iterations of it were too much mental math. So I simplified and trimmed the hacking rules until it was a single number comparison. 1/3

You can Play Godzilla vs Motha, Ghidorah or Rodan, or even MechaGodzilla in UniVersus TCG Challenger Decks!! It is SO much fun! #tcgplayer #tcg #ccg #cardgame I played Godzilla and stomped Rodan, but it was a close battle!
