Thanks! Glad you like it where it is. I'm probably gonna come back to it later and add some more stuff to it (ai, more writing, etc), but that's a later down the line thing

I wonder why there aren't more game like reings and this, good job on exploring that mechanic in a new setting. I had fun!

Yeah, stuff like reigns and sort the court are some of the most under rated games I've seen. They're simple and fun, and the writing just makes them better.

This is a very nice game. It's fun trying to balance all the things, the questions and the answers are smart, I liked them. It's a nice take on the theme, this kind of card game is a great idea!

Thanks! I kinda didn't work too much on the theme and just focused on the requirement, so glad to see I somewhat did the theme too

Very fun small game! It's very simple, easy to get into and easy to understand which is really nice. My highscore was 20. Now I'm not sure if it's already in the game but I'm pretty sure, that the difficulty doesn't scale up which would have been really nice. It also does get repetetive in my opinion but I understand that you can't really fill a jam game with a lot of content. Overall really nice and polished experience though!

Yeah, I 100% get the repetitiveness. I think there's only 36 interactions + 8 endings, and a lot of them have similar dialogue. Plus there's not really any AI in the game at all, so it just loops the same cards over and over as long as they weren't in the previous 5. I have ideas for things to do if/when I come back to this, but it is what it is for now.
