A downloadable Tabletop game.

Thank you for submitting to the Jam & Toast game jam! I hope you had fun creating your game :D First, allow me to say, absolutely wonderful presentation. Of all the games, yours is my favorite visually. I can really feel the theme coming through and it's appealing to look at.

However, allow me to offer a few critiques on the game itself based on my experience with the game. I had a very difficult time getting this to work in Tabletop Simulator, and as a result, had to ping-pong back and forth between that and the card images because I couldn't view the full card in TTS. This might have been my fault, I'm not the best at using that program, but since I see it can work based on your pictures, some installation instructions would have gone a long way.

Putting that aside, I do agree with Dominik regarding a few points. I was also confused why each ingredient had its own icon when that didn't seem to matter. It's nice flavor but it felt like a missed opportunity for something to exist mechanically in the space. I also like his suggestion about gaining each witch's power as you complete their dishes as it gives the player a sense of progress and reward. If that proved to be too strong, a witch could have a "reward" side instead of the normal backs and I don't think that would negatively influence the game as I would still set it up randomly. Only person you cheat in a solo game is yourself after all.

Finally, I do not like the evil eye event. It felt clunky and mostly annoying. I agree that a more interesting event/effect would benefit this card. Maybe having to shuffle your hand back into the deck and redraw? That's like a half-misfortune. I'm not sure.

Otherwise, I enjoyed your game. I have to repeat myself because the game's flavor is truly top-notch. I believe this game could easily be expanded into a larger game after the jam if desired and it would be successful. I wish you the best in your future projects and would like to thank you for your submission once again.
