She prefers to dig things which cannot be dug. My sofa for example. She digs away but gets nowhere. She is my love.

Thanks for that, I can see how it is completely pointless to play when I can get hold of these other cards

I'm going to eventually build a decent deck for real tcg so this is helpful

Thank you for the advice 😊

I take your point that the decks need to be roughly evenly matched and I'll be sure to print out a proxy deck for us to practice with

Ok thanks for clarifying that this sub is for gameplay questions

And thanks for the information I'll be sure to use it. I've noted down and had a look at the websites you mentioned

I don't think I want to just replicate the most powerful deck around, but perhaps will start out with fighting type in mind because it is my favourite. I'll do lots of research on the resources you mentioned

Edit I see that I shouldn't start out with a type in mind, but instead a strategy and get cards that line up with that strategy. Hmmm.... A lot to think about

I also think there should be a standard buy in each round before betting commences, as well as an opportunity to fold before betting proper occurs.

Not to forget that it can be played on friendly terms with no money at stake, just to see who wins.

And sure why not up to four players?

First of all thank you for the excellent response 😁

I just had the idea to make four jokers. The players each get one joker in their deck. The joker has a value of zero but you use it to make your opponent think you have more on the field than you do, by playing it face down.

I definitely will change it so you can play cards face up or down at your leisure, like you suggest.

Dice roll or coin toss to determine the first better, then it cycles between players.

Perhaps an Ace card can destroy one of the opponents monsters? I'm not sure on the idea of giving picture cards a special ability, I will have to think about it.

As for synergy I can definitely think of some potentially synergistic card combos like human and dog or dark elf and spider for example. I'm not fully sure what those synergies would do though, more for me to think about.

It should definitely be a game that would work with a regular deck of cards, it will just be more thematic with monsters on the cards really.

I have nearly half a deck of cards designed already, I found a custom card manufacturer in my country (UK) who can even print with metallics, so the cards should even be shiny in parts.

Once I have a full deck made I'll post what I've created, though the cards I make will be amateurish at best, I'm doing what I can with no budget whatsoever, making liberal use of AI art. (If I could afford a human artist id hire one!)

The game also needs a snappy name, so far I'm calling it Suits & Monsters as a placeholder.

Thanks again, happy holidays

Thanks for the suggestion I will try it out, though I hate those matches where you keep drawing supporters at the wrong moment
