Schobbia Battles (the cards game)
July 14th, 2008
Just to inform you there is a new project going on here. It’s a project where no programming is needed (at least for now). It’s a card battle game, but not the trading cards battle kind. I tried to make it easy to learn and hard to master. We learned my wife yesterday in few minutes and next thing she beat us because we weren’t careful. So the rules I think are still very minimal while allowing enough combinatorial complexity that the thing is interesting. My sister is drawing the cards images now and once that is done we will start making it more public. I made a very simple website where I will update info about the game.
There are 3 elements in the game, each element has element creatures and magics. Next to that are Extras which are some sort of special case cards and weapons not bound to the elements. The game has two strategical parts, one is picking the cards - the other is battle. Picking of cards is made in a way I haven’t seen anywhere (but I don’t know many cards games). You also need a dice to play. OK, that’s it for now.. more updates will follow.
