Hey no problem, I totally get that haha. It is good that you tried that idea tho! That's some good expierence, this way you can much more clearly see for yourself why a "very cool and nice idea" has maybe more problems or is not as fun as you thought, but maybe there is still a way to make it work. I like the idea of the dice being the cost for the cards. I am not quiet sure myself HOW to fix the problem getting stuck, but I think it could work if you had more ways to manipulate the dice rolls.
A quick balance idea would be:
Maybe instead of having cards that cost a dice with a 3,2,2 you could make it for some cards this is at least a 3 or 2. Cards that are much more worth maybe only accept a certain number, but you would've to play around with this.
Just keep at it! It's a real solid and fun game and I bet you can figure some way out :)
No problem, I think I skimmed through alot (I am sometimes not very patient, sorry haha). That is just sometimes the problem with gamejams, especially if you are making a complicated card game. Some kind of Rulebook on the itch page would've been nice, to again read the rules.
This is all super nitpicky, I hope I've said some things that helped you in a way.
And don't be to hard onto yourself! This is a Jam, some jank or problems will happen haha, that's part of the fun!
