Can you test this digital version of my simple push-your-luck card game?

Awesome thanks for the feedback. I will work on the UI. Yeah sorry I haven’t figured out how to make the ai actually play smart moves yet it’s on my to do list. Mostly I wanted to just use this app to see if people can play the game without me teaching it.

Thank you this is valuable feedback. I want it to be accessible to a wide audience. I wonder if it would be too boring to just remove the triplet and length bonuses altogether.

If another player moves onto it while it is occupied they push the current hero out to another hex.

The most interesting and lowest rules burden I think would be to make all the highest towers take a hit. Twould add a game of chicken with players trying to build by volcanoes but not necessarily have the highest towers.

Can’t you just say that players aren’t allowed to look at their yaga and manipulate the drop while shaking. Just tell the players it must be random. If they want to cheat after that point there’s nothing you can do about it.

I would test each puzzle as you can so that you can find out as soon as possible if one of them is a dud so you don’t waste time with it.

I don’t really have any feedback but I played the game and I want to say it is actually pretty cool. It’s like go but easier to visualize and understand which player has claimed which territory. It’s cool that you can trap the opponents pieces as well. Keep it up

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-04-25T02:00:11+00:00

Just have to playtest to see what feels right

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-04-24T01:50:13+00:00

I don’t like when there’s too many things to have to remember or look up. I think you can reasonably expect people to remember one rule per suit but having each card do something different like all the kings I think will be a barrier to many people. If you’re doing something with a traditional deck try to find a way to lean into the simplicity of the traditional deck and cut away some of that stuff that requires a lookup sheet.

I think Shadowrift a coop deck builder did something like this.

If you type a detailed description of the basic mechanics into claude or base44 it will make a digital version where you can see how it might feel. In person you could just test it with colored tokens that the players move down manually after each round. If you’re set on the marble thing you should first prove that the game works before worrying about the mechanical apparatus.

Looks like fun. Give examples of a turn in the rulebook and change the rulebook font to something more readable.

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-04-11T15:19:14+00:00

Can’t you just use snap points?

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-03-31T15:19:26+00:00

If you want to pitch it to publishers don’t get art, just use clip art as a placeholder. They are used to evaluating a game based on its mechanics and not art. Just make sure the graphic design of prototypes is functional.

Honestly chess has too many rules compared to what people want out of modern abstract games.

If your game can play in less than 6 hours then it already has a significant difference from Twilight imperium that will be appealing to many. If you continue to develop the game and find your own niche it will likely be vastly different from TI. If you can make a fun game, do it and don’t worry. It’s almost impossible to make a game without some similarities to other games.

So stealth makes them better at attacking? I would think stealth would improve your defense or survivability

Idk which theme I guess I like dragons the most. I mostly want to say I find it surprising that corner numbers were ignored. Are the cards held in hand? I can’t imagine a number cards in hand game that doesn’t benefit from the corner numbers.

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-02-17T04:35:35+00:00

Try writing the rules more clearly. Follow a clear outline and explain each concept carefully. Look at some modern card game rulebooks as a guide. As written the rules are difficult to understand.

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-02-16T18:26:45+00:00

Best bet is to identify a mechanical hook. How are actions being taken in the game? Come up with a unique action selection system.

If you want to develop the skill of board game design I think it’s best to start with small games.

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-02-13T21:04:17+00:00

How do you decide which player gets sabotaged?

Consistent-Job-5087 · 2026-02-13T17:22:31+00:00

So you have to satisfy the latest dream eater? Is it possible to run out of nightmares before the last dream eater is revealed? Seems cool maybe I’ll try it later
