Yep, still working on my big stratagy game project. I feel that I have almost completed all of the main game mechanics and such. Now I just need to make the cards/board.
Is it preferable that I have a few familiar pieces/cards, (Such as in chess or poker) or that I have a large amount? (Collectable Card games)
I want to have replayability a big element of my game, but does that require that I have so many cards that each game could be radically different? Any thoughts?
Yes, it is an all in one game that I am working on.
Actually the cards in my game aren't used in the same way as traditional card games. Instead of having a hand, the cards built up the terrain. Then when one of your pieces steps off of one, you may have it aquire the card. These cards will then be used for what properties your unit would have. (What kind of creature it is, equippable items like weapons and armor, and spells).
