Battle Cards

---

Battle Cards is a single-player, offline card battler. It's not a full-blown Trading Card Game (no online play or trading), but you do open packs, collect cards, battle, and build decks.

Earn money by playing in battles to buy more card packs.  Cards come in two types: Attackers and Supports. You can't bring more than 2 of the same card into battle, so any dupes past 2 are auto-sold for their value.

Gameplay is intentionally kept simple. If a card has one move, just pick it and click a target. If it has multiple, choose the card, then the move, then target. A little like Pokémon TCG but everything's in an active spot.

At the start of a match, both players draw 6 Attackers and 2 Supports. Rather than fill a hand, you place the cards onto the board as you draw them.

Each player starts with 10 Lives. You lose a Life when a card dies. Bring your opponent’s Lives down to zero to win.

Turns use Actions — attacking or drawing after the initial draw phase counts as one Action. Your turn ends after 2 Actions, whether they be attacks or draws or both. Support moves don’t count toward Actions. All cards have 100 stamina max and recover 10 each turn (unless you went first; no regen on Round 2 for balance). Moves cost stamina, shown in brackets like [-20].

In Summary:

-Buy a deck and card packs

-Build a deck

-Battle!

-Earn money & repeat

The game runs at 1080p, but anti-aliasing kind of saves it for other resolutions. Takes a little getting used to but is required for legible text. This isn’t a polished project but I think it’s pretty fun for what it is. I want to move on from this to make a more complex card game, maybe learning a new engine.
