As far as I know, it's because they're based on cards from various franchises (Pokemon, Hearthstone, Slay the Spire, The Witcher, etc) so the art is omitted to avoid copyright.
Wow this is super fun, I want to see more of this with expanded cards / can't wait for the full Steam release (hopefully compatible for both Mac and Windows)
I'd like to play it, but I would have to download it and there is no downloadable version of it. Is there any way could do that? The game looks really fun and the art style is so unique!
Suggestion: Swap the effects of V the Hierophant and III the Empress. I don't know anything about tarot cards so this might not reflect the tarot cards, but it would make the effects of III the Empress and IV the Emperor mirror each other.
i would buy it full price on both platforms (i enjoy having drm-free versions of games when they’re available, but also like steam for ease of use/keeping the game collection together) so please consider it
An overall pleasant experience. I never played Blackjack but the rules were quick to get the hang of, and it shows a lot of promise. The graphics are appropriate. I do agree with a few comments, in that having a small hand at all times other than the aces up your sleeve or trump cards could really make the game less frustrating, as even with an optimised deck, a single bad shuffle can leave you to be mercilessly pummeled. Alternatively, the ability to reshuffle one's deck (with or without the discard pile) in a pinch more often, without having to rely on a specific card and instead using advantage or chips, would be quite nice. The possibility to remove cards is nice, but I am unsure it really does much with that frequency. The multiple "cards that are not cards" (i.e. SIM card, memory card, business card etc.) is a very creative idea and I like the humour in all of this.
Final note, do you intend to release this through itch.io as well ? I am asking because my computer runs an obsolete OS for which Steam support was cut off, thus I can no longer use the app. In any case, good luck and strength to you on completing this delightful indie !
I had 3 cards locked once. The encounter might need balancing, though it could also be meant to be that way : an opponent who starts slow but gets more and more powerful in the endgame, requiring you to play fast and aggressively to defeat him quickly, lest he becomes unbeatable. The fact that your run can be ended because you built too slow a deck befits the game's roguelite style.
Great game! I want to warn you that I got locked into a 20 minute game with the poker player because we both kept playing the "Ace up your sleeve" card, which caused us to gain a large number of aces. Because we both had so many aces, it was nearly impossible to bust, which made us only able to do tiny amounts of damage. Maybe you could cap the amount of aces allowed in a deck or make the "Ace up your sleeve" aces burn after a while.
I tripled my dis-card via Coin Flip event with Temperance and a Get Well card in my deck. I also have a cue card, transit card, and some negative cards thanks to choosing diamonds and lucky shops.
So ... Temperance apparently caps at 1998 chips, but I have now farmed over 100,000 chips before the end of the Lounge and maxed out a birthday card from scratch in a single battle.
Love the game, try diamonds if y'all haven't already
Achieved the same thing more cleanly with pure cue cards and Temperance. This time I had credit cards to create negative cards and a Get Out of Jail Free card to nullify damage. I bought the entire casino and created inflation of +45,940,023,478%, which obliterated the global banking system and bankrupted all major exporters on Earth.
New floors will certainly come with some re-balancing.
Oh wow, this was awesome!!!! I ended up running all the way up through the end of the demo both ways and using the first two suits. This was a blast and a super cool take on blackjack (which is hilarious cuz I literally just finished a blackjack-based game too, but mine is analog).
Seriously though, this is terrific! Thanks Itch for recommending it, and thank you for making it! I definitely wishlisted it :D
I can tell that you played Magic just from the half cards following their card text to the letter, meaning that if you lock them in place, they stop being awesome and resetting to 0 and start growing instead, giving you really wonky numbers.
I had fun playing this, but on the second play through without hearts I realized that it probably is a bit too random for me - there's so few hand cards or cards in general where you can make an informed decision, and it is next to impossible it seems to really sculpt a deck like you want it because you'd have to get rid of so many starter cards. Why not go all the way and have me pick a number I want to stand at like the AI has and resolve game play semi automatically?
great game. the most fun games are ones where i get a card that can burn cards from my own deck. if i don't die, i can build a deck where i can draw my entire deck without going over the limit

Android version too? I am playing on my phone and works very well... Would be one of the best games on mobile..
I hope your game is successful. Greetings from Brazil!
ive been playing this for hald an hour im so obsessed
The best game I have ever played. It's just so good and kinda addictive
Wow! That's a creative and fun game. Well job, I'm really impress!
just a wondering...why is alot of the art on the cards redacted?

Thanks! Can't wait to see people play with more cards as well!
When it releases on Steam it will be available on Windows + Mac + Linux/SteamOS. The demo is currently available on Steam for those same OSes
The World + Memory Card = CHAOS
Devil+12 damage=144 damage. Absolutely destroyed opponent while on 5 hp myself
I'd like to play it, but I would have to download it and there is no downloadable version of it. Is there any way could do that? The game looks really fun and the art style is so unique!
Thanks! You could try the game on Steam - the demo is downloadable for free there
wishlisted
This looks so good
If this game had pvp I'd play everyday! So much fun
two player vs mode would destroy my free time for MONTHS
Pretty fun!

Will the full version of the game be released hete as well as Steam or just on Stream?
Not sure yet if it will release on itch or just Steam!

this is the same music as roguejack

Yes, this happens... If you're lucky he'll draw the key card again and be forced to unlock one of your cards.
(I also don't understand why you would draw if you already had a 9♥ and 10♥ locked in)
i keep doing this. i keep hitting "hit" by accident
good

I love this game it made me forgotten what I did in 2000.
what... did you do in 2000?
A little prank on a family 😉😉😉.

huh, for me the basement is easier to farm
also, I would suggest for the developers more cards/events that add copies of the same cards such as Coin Flip, Memory Card, and Terminate the Tower

Looking forward to see final version it’s already much better than first version!
Good!
Super cool. Very creative and fun to play. Nice work!
great game. the most fun games are ones where i get a card that can burn cards from my own deck. if i don't die, i can build a deck where i can draw my entire deck without going over the limit
Good game. I'll add it to my wish list.
I don't think it's a bug
oh yeah, right... it is mentioned in the devlog around v0.11...
