Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. I'll (hopefully) answer/clarify some of the questions you asked.


I got impression that each section have their own cards [...]

Yes and no. There will be cards that will be solely oriented towards a certain aspect. Most likely, those cards will be "beginner" cards, due to their lack of complexity (e.g.: deal 6 damage; give 3 seats). However, more complex cards should tend to affect multiple aspects (deal 3 for each space taken; deal 3 per difficulty; add 1 seat per difficulty).


Do [cards] define [the] number of supplies for the travel?

Currently, no. I didn't come up with a way to really link the navigation aspect with the other two. But, I believe I could add something where the cards need some resources. Fights could give you resources (which would make the choice between two fights more interesting).


[S]ince [the] boat space is limited, will [the] player be required to rearrange cards again in their boat?

I am not sure to understand. Will the player be required to rearrange cards from zero (remove all the cards from the boat)? No. The cards will be kept in the same place. Will the player be required to rearrange cards (reorganize to fit)? Yes. For example:

On the left, you have the current organization of your boat. You can't fit the card Z. If you want the piece, you will have to move stuff around (move, rotate). But placing the card isn't required. If you don't want the card, don't place it.

* = Empty
X*C   Z*    ZXY
XY* + Z* => ZXY
*Y*   ZZ    ZZC
I suggest setting different number of reward card based on difficulty  [...]

Totally! I simply used "3" as an example, but the amount of cards given will (and should) vary depending on the difficulty.


I understand about card and health but with money you'd need to create a system where money is needed such as shop.
Yes, a shop was planned. I simply had no idea what to put it in.

[H]ow would the fight be? 1 vs 1 or 1 vs [X] ?

1 vs X, but mostly 1 vs 1. Most of the fights will be 1 vs 1. I doubt it's fair that you fight two strong enemies without having the ability to target. But, I don't throw away the option of offering battles against multiple foes. However, the additional foes will only be supporting the main one (the one you are targetting). For example, the main enemy will have 120hp while the other two will each have 12hp.

[W]ill attack cards target all opponents or target a random single enemy?

Depends. If I add 1 vs X fights, some cards will  hit all opponents. However, the other cards (e.g.: deal 6 damage) will only target the first one.

Thanks, I understand your concept better now.

However for this one:

But placing the card isn't required. If you don't want the card, don't place it.

I take it that you have limited space in your boat so if it's full before you start a fight, you'd be sure not to have any space left if you get new cards after the fight. So if placing new card isn't required, where would the new card go? assuming the boat is full.

I asked this thinking that your boat is the only container for your cards so if you haven't expanded your boat and your boat is full, you can't put new cards there at all. You can't go to shop to sell excess card to solve this.... or maybe, this option is given in boat setting/card placement section.

Having a boat full  doesn't mean you can't place any more cards. It simply means that you can't place the new card without sacrificing other cards. That's the challenge of this aspect: you have to balance cards quantity and power. You will have to ask yourself: "Which card is the weakest in my deck (weakest for this archetype) that will allow me to place this card?" 


But, I like the idea of being able to sell excess cards. This would reduce the impact of getting unlucky and would allow to get resources more easily (if cards are grinded into resources).
