Goodlooking start of a CCG game
I don't think the type of minion you play has any effect on the game? At least it was not clear to me, it looks like they are all just 1/4s without abilities. I guess that part is not yet finished too?
Couple of remarks on making the game more fluent:
- Once you click on a card there is no way to undo playing the card. You can drag it around but once you let go of the mouse button the card will be played no matter what. I would expect to be able to place the card back in my hand if I don't want to cast it yet.
- Show cards on hover instead on right mouse click. There is always just one card to display and having to hold down right mousebutton is not necessary
- Show more of the cards in hand. Partly why I was casting spells I didn't want to cast was that I was selecting cards to see what they did. If more of the card was visible in hand this would be less needed
- Show switching between your and the enemies turn. It's instant now but that also means you have no idea when it is your turn again.
- Some background music would add a lot to the atmosphere
The start is there so keep up to good work!

There is a more polished version of the game here https://sessokosga.itch.io/warlock-the-card-game
Cool. It just needs some tutorial/guide because first time trying I don't have any idea that I have to make my own deck.
Nice job, very akin to Hearthstone, it shows promise as a solid structure. The cards for minions and spells that you implemented offer strategic depth. While it needs polish and additional core mechanics, a tutorial, or more information, the foundation is there. With the right tweaks, it could turn into an engaging and immersive card-playing experience. Looking forward to seeing how this game evolves into a polished gem!
It is a nice start for a CCG. I would be cool to have a tutorial on how to play but I still managed to make my way to a victory. Hopefully you will continue developing this into something great!
I think you made a really nice infrastructure for a CCG but never made it to the game part from what I could tell? maybe try a Top trumps style game first then it will be easier to find the fun and people to get into it.
