Won 1st Place in Game.Dev Competition 22 “Genre Benders!”
“Print the cards out on heavy stock paper and start playing. That’s all you need to do to have a great evening. Valve needs to know about this little gem.”
News item in Dev.Mag e-zine
I’m personally looking forward to trying this one out at rAge in a few weeks

Here’s my card game being played by some people at the rAge expo. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to play and a special thank you to the Game.Dev community memebers who introduced the game and showed people how to play.

Working on new layout design. Old cards were made using Magic Workstation and looks too much like Magic: The Gathering. New design attempts to have unique, full image, themed feel.
