Love this. Playing with my new Shadowrun Tarot deck. Question: say I'm playing and have King and Queen of Swords out and keep drawing ICE. Do they all go on the Queen (as her value is 12) or does gaining ICE change the priorities for ICE placement, i.e. I place a 4 ICE (Queen is now 12 + 4) and draw another 3 ICE. Does the King get this one (K:13 vs Q:16) or does is the Q:12 always get used, Thus Queen = 12 + 4 + 3?

Also why no entry on BoardGameGeek.com? You could upload the free version and link through to here.

Glad you're enjoying it!

When you have to play a card as ICE you place it on the royal with the closest value. In your example it would go on the King first, since 13 is closer to 3 than 16. Basically the lowest total value royal (including any ICE) gets the card. If there's a tie you can pick where it goes as ICE.

I haven't messed with boardgamegeek yet. I only just got used to DriveThruRPG but I'll definitely take a look, thanks!

Cool. I think I'd still have died with Black Ice that game anyway. Second game ended in a Fatal 1nf1n1te Recurs10n Err0r (with only 2 Royals to go). Definitely add your game to BGG. It can be a bit tedious to set up but it's free and once your game is there, it becomes a hub for interested players. It is the goto site for board and card games and I only found this game by a post there in a discussion thread on solo games for Tarot decks. I've played a few and this is, by far, the best and most engaging. I'd love to record some play through videos for my YouTube channel but it would be better with a BGG area to upload them to. S

Thanks. Took me 5 games to beat Basic. I think I'm getting the hang of it. Managing Resets is important. Now moving onto the Campaign. This game is so good! It has turned my Shadowrun Tarot deck indulgence into a quality gaming purchase :)
