TC totally beat me. I got blocked by a wall of Bluka. Good luck in the tournament, man!

The combo rule doesn't seem to be working properly (or I don't understand it). I've been playing against the Wandering Trickster--it says that the combo rule is in play. But when I get what should, I think, trigger combos, they don't.

I got beat by a combo that seems wrong to me. His "3" flipped my "6" which flipped another of my cards. As I had tied the NPC three times in a row, this was a bit disappointing. I also lost my one elemental and one dragon. Bummer.

If you're bored, you can see it here. Screenprint of the Kombo below. He placed the gnome in the lower left corner to flip my middle gnome and center card.

Am I missing something?

[-]Thanks, but I was notified that the tournament is over.[/-] As for our match, it seems like the luck of the 5 cards determined the outcome more than anything else.

Edit: Erm, apparently the tournament isn't over.

This game is quite fun and I hope you keep it, Morrus.

However, I just got a Private Message from Hecate saying she wants to have my baby. Should I go to meet her at the abandoned ruins at Midnight?

Not wrong.

It's the Plus rule. Both in that instance equal 9 (7+2 upwards, 6+3 to the right).

Check out the database link for a view of the full range.

Incidentally, if anyone with too much time on their hands wants to design a deck, I'd be happy to include it. Needs about 100 cards per full set.

Ah, neat. Didn't see that before. Though didn't have TOO much time to look either. I like a lot of the art, though I recognize some of it from other places.

Found it. They're rare cards with scores of 10 on each side.

Since they're so powerful, I've made it so that the NPCs have them much less often (especially the weaker NPCs).

Morrus, Looks like the Wandering Trickster can have Magic cards. With the rules for that NPC battle set, it is impossible to defeat those cards (no combos, plus, etc. ). And with vistory set to Direct, you can't acquire those cards either (well, unless you beaten higher levels, bought cards, etc).

Just an observation.

thanks for the cool game!

These things are all easily tweakable. I'll change a few settings.

I've changed victory to "One" and added "Plus" into his settings. He only has one magic item card in his deck of about 30 cards, and it's set on random, so it should only show up one in every 6 games.

I don't want everyone easily acquiring the most powerful cards in the game within the first day or so of playing - kinda defeats the point of the randomized collectible card model! The idea is that when you finally get a magic item card, you treasure it.

After the first match, the elemental symbols are invisible. Of course, the computer can "see" them.

As with other graphical glitches refresh fixes that.
