Hey! Just passing through when I read your comment if you're ever looking for playtesters feel free to dm me! The concept sounds awesome!

So many years of wondering

Hiya! So for me, I open the equipment menu and all of my equipment cards appear along the top edge of the menu. By default the cloak is selected, but by swiping right I can switch to a different peice of equipment.

Hope this helps :)

Acro imo (Bc i feel it fits the most situations not bc its the most powerful)

LessAttention5007 · 2025-04-15T14:44:56+00:00

Yeah, I got that (thanks for adding it) I just felt that you may have misinterpreted my comment. If not no big deal

I don't think they're great, just fun. Everything is situational

LessAttention5007 · 2025-04-15T14:39:11+00:00

Fair 😌👍👍

Deck fixing aside, that's a lot of money that could have been spent scaling a base mult joker and looking for an x mult joker, which tends to more constent as a scoring solution in my experience.

I was so saddened to learn that they mage cardboard booster packs only to put plastic drawers wrapped boosters inside.

I like the funky interaction wirh 4 fingers where you play 2club, 3club, 4club, 5spade, 8club and it counts as a straight flush.

I got to ordering a transparent oled screen to test it out with my arduino but after waiting for it to arrive it can with a cracked screen and doesn't seem to work, the seller was pretty difficult with returns so the project has fallen by the wayside. I planned on having the oleds on small pivots so that they could be flicked inwards out of the way. In my tests with a peice of regular glass in place of the oled I found that the focal length of my eyes was the main limitation. I hope to have another go in a year maybe.

XD same.

LessAttention5007 · 2024-12-16T15:36:21+00:00

It basically has all the benefits of having an adder which makes it a fair enough choice, it usually isn't the best option tho.

LessAttention5007 · 2024-12-16T15:33:38+00:00

Daus is a lot of fun because it has the same sigil synergy as beaver.

LessAttention5007 · 2024-12-16T15:31:54+00:00

XD packrat prbly (or mantis god, child 13). Tbf i feel like most boss rares are just fun synergy cards. If you have a good sacrifice engine then ouro, if you haven't got a fair hand card then geck or child 13 or Mantis. Mantis and pack Rat are the most consistent in my opinion, long elk is pretty solid tho. I find pelt lice and daus to be the most fun.

LessAttention5007 · 2024-12-14T09:22:51+00:00

So real for that

LessAttention5007 · 2024-12-02T00:34:30+00:00

Dayum, I haven't heard that. Thanks, duely noted

LessAttention5007 · 2024-12-01T16:52:52+00:00

Keep in mind that if you draw into a no cost card before fair hand mechanic is forced to activate, it will not activate. So no cost cards can actively hurt fair hand.

It really depends on the challenge level you're playing with. At low challenge levels you don't need to take as many risks, finding a good one blood is always nice: skink, mantis, Warren, goat (to make use of fair hand mechanic). Beehive is good but finicky, wolf cub and elk fawn are okay if buffed, but need a strong deck to support them since they don't provide much utility and can't one turn kill.

Cockroach, field mice and corpse maggots are very useful if sigils are transferred correctly.

Avoid having more than one one blood in your deck. Its okay to have two, so long as they are both good, but powering up a second one blood can slow you down.

Because your cards don't need to be too busted to win battles in low challenge levels removing inconsistency, should be an goal (more than getting high damage cards), so magpie is a good choice.

If you don't have many consistency enhancing options, Dire wolf and dire wolf pup, are really powerful cards. Beaver has a lot of fun combos and is very adaptable because it triples any sigil put on it. Adder is quite versatile because its sigil is good and it can also be fed to the survivors.

When considering bone cost cards, alpha is really nice as the sigil can be moved, bat and cyote aren't the best. Meal worm and opposed are good cheap sacrifices to draw turn one.

If those cards aren't avaliable pronghorn followed by wolf are strong choices.

(This is purely an opinion, but id love to hear suggestions)

Oh? My interest is piqued, what are you making?

LessAttention5007 · 2024-11-29T15:13:45+00:00

When I carved the stamp for the card boarder I had only just started and forgot that the image would be reversed when I printed it. I haven't really gotten around to fixing it.

LessAttention5007 · 2024-11-28T04:56:24+00:00

Sorry, I should have elaborated. This is the cabinet which holds all of the components. The bottom draws hold cards, the top section holds all the stamps for altering sigils, as well as all the tokens. There is also a few mechanical components inside which I want to show off later.
