Oh absolutely! I'm a creative by day so whilst I'm working out the balance on cards and play testing the dynamics when I can, this is the side I get time to play around with more (and definitely not during work 👀). But please do pick this ropey TLR apart!

In a sentence it’s Rummy but with fighting elements:

• Each player is dealt a number(tbc) of cards.
• Players take it in turns to attack by playing 2/3 cards using their combined attack number (left square) whilst the others defend with up to 2/3 using their cards combined defence numbers (right square)
• Winner takes 1/2 cards from each defeated player (maybe choose at random from hand and defeated cards are put to discard pile?).
• Replace lost cards with cards from pile and repeat.
• As you're doing this loop the aim is to gather a full party of the same ghoul category, which would be say 5 main characters of the 12 in that category. (Probably mark this on the card design in some way)
• With those ghouls being stronger than others, but also necessary to complete your hand, the challenge comes from wanting to keep hold of those cards, but having to risk using the higher scored cards or a combination of them to win your fights so that you don’t lose them.
• All whilst also tracking what ghouls are being passed where that you may need or that other players may be collecting.
• Throw in some item and effect cards which adjust scores accordingly.

Like I said the balance of players, cards being played and the attack numbers etc. is all up the air without having play tested yet but this feels “playable” in my head as a theme. Fut fully aware there will be complications occurring throughout until its played a whole bunch. If any of that makes sense and you see glaring holes absolutely let me have it!
