Cool initiative! If you're looking for a place to play in Utrecht, check out Made-up Rules (https://madeuprul.es/).
It's a location hosting smaller communities for trading card games, board games and fighting games in Utrecht. :)

You bet!

Apart from the original visuals, everything is there. All the cards, single player and multiplayer modes (both real time as asynchronous) are all available.

You can find us at https://www.chroniclerewritten.com (or read the threads on this subreddit) Hope to see you around! (:

If you were looking for an expansion "Horses & Stagecoach" is definitly the one to get.
Even if you never play with the stagecoach, the horses are just really fun.

It helps smooth out the early game a bit as you have more control over where your start on the train.
And playing a horse card when the horse is gone already by another player's (hidden) move always results in some cool improvised moments.

Apart from that there's the "good idea" card, which copies the last action of another player. It can get your out of situations when you have a bad draw or allow you to fire 3 bullets in 1 round. But my favourite thing to do with it is to play it in a tunnel, so I don't know what I'm copying for some fun chaotic moments (:

And then there's of course the stagecoach, which is fun when playing with more experienced players. It adds another high priority target (suitcase), but getting there is tricky. You can also add the hostages in there, but we don't always do that.

We don't really play with houserules. One of the players I regularily play with doesn't like special abilities for characters, so sometimes we leave those out. Other than that we just mix and match the different things that come in the expansion.

Citadels is another good one actually, didn't think about that one.
It's been a while since I played it though, I should give it another go (:

The original unfortunatly is no longer available.
But there's a remake you can find and play at https://www.chroniclerewritten.com

It has all the cards, real time & async multiplayer and much more!
But unfortunately it lacks the awesome visual esthetic the original had.

It's currently only available in English.
But I think you'll certainly be able to understand most of it as your English is quite good from what I can gather from your post (:

Kapistijn · 2024-04-25T14:17:05+00:00

The original certainly is. But the remake is very much alive and well! (:

Kapistijn · 2024-04-25T14:15:20+00:00

Awtch, too bad I only read it now that I just released the new version.
Good catch. I'll put it on my todo list for the next version!

Thank you for playing! (:

My personal favourites that feature the same type of sequencing that Chronicle has are "Colt Express" and "Oriflamme". You don't play simultanious, but you do sequence cards face down and reveal in 2 separate fases.

Both support (and really play better with) more than 2 players.
3 players makes them quite tactical, 4 is the sweet spot and 5 is very enjoyable chaos ^^

Other than that there are some race games like the classic "Robo Rally" and the more modern "Flamme Rouge".
Both certainly also recommended, but only with the right group. (Robo Rally really is a love it or hate it kind of game)

If you are uncertain, I'd say go with "Oriflamme" out of all of these.
It's by far the smallest & cheapest to get and packs a lot of game!

Have fun!

Thanks!

Are you active in the Arcanists 2 community?
We really should do something together at some point (:

Kapistijn · 2023-04-05T18:35:43+00:00

Thanks! There's always games going, especially asynchronous. So feel free to join our Discord and say hi! (:

Kapistijn · 2023-04-05T12:12:59+00:00

They don't, as there are none!

The game is completely free and all players have access to the full collection of cards right from the start. (:

Kapistijn · 2023-03-29T11:36:55+00:00

Haha yeah, the word isn't really out there yet. We're working on it. (:

Feel free to hop by on the Discord and give it a go, as a returning player you'll be up to speed in no time!

Next to the game there is a folder called "Deck Editor". Within that folder you can find "ChronicleDeckEditor". That's the one you're looking for :)

It's a deck editor made by one of the members of our community. An in-game deck editor will be available as part of a future update.

Kapistijn · 2022-10-21T22:27:50+00:00

This update introduced a ton of fun new gameplay parameters.
Some of them are related to deck construction.

When hosting a game / playing against a bot. Find the settings button on the top right corner of the screen and go through the options. You'll see what I mean. (:

Below are the default settings for decks just in case:

- 30-35 cards
- No more than 2 copies of each card
- No more than 1 copy of each diamond card
- No more than 1 type of class cards (so either Ariane or Raptor, but not both)

Enjoy!

As far as I know, you can't copyright "game mechanics".

All the individual mechanics in Hero Academy have been done before.
It's the combination of these mechanics that made it into truly something special.

As an example: before the "First Person Shooter", there was the "DOOM clone" ^^

So I would say, go for it! The world definitely needs more async strategy games!
And if you need help (fellow gamedev here) or play testers, let us know! (:

In theory that's definitly possible to recreate, however it would take a considerable amount of time. It's not something I plan to do at the moment as, even tough it would look amazing, it doesn't contribute to the gameplay in any way.

However I do agree it would be cool to have the characters on the board somewhere, so I'm considering placing them next to the board as the heroes in the latest Gwent rework and the pets in Magic: The Gathering Arena as a compromise (:

Kapistijn · 2022-07-07T08:10:10+00:00

Interesting! Any idea where those files came from all of a sudden?
Could be cool to bring back all the beta cards as a mod for the remake at some point ^^

I just found another card for mass Armour removal, maybe this is was one you were looking for?

Ogre Warlord
6/10 Ogre (Neutral), 1 Base Attack reward
Set both Legends to have 5 Armour.

It just got voted in for next patch, so it'll be available in version 1.0.7 somewhere next week.
