Well this will be a bit of a "mysterious" BLOG entry. I have a military Card Game that I am working on with two (2) Factions. That's about as generic as it can be. Hehehe.

I had the idea of an "ATTACK" Value in the TOP-LEFT-HAND corner... But as I continued to design, I realized that instead of JUST "ATTACK" I could have several SUITS (Attack, Heal, Repair, etc. etc.)

My ISSUE is figuring out WHICH "suits" would be appropriate for the game.

A HEART could be HEAL. A SPADE could be REPAIR, a STAR could be ATTACK...

So I know QuestAC Reboot what published on "The Game Crafter". It's a SIMPLE game at it's core and the Reboot was supposed to be something that I could HONESTLY say was a "Card Game" made for Kids (9+ in age).

But TRUTH be told, I am NOT interested in SELLING that game. Why? Because it's not what I envisioned for QuestAC Version 2.0.

Everything for QuestAC v2 looks good on paper... The ONLY issue is:

Some thoughts to consider:

I'm actually worried that "Planes of Aria" (PoA) is too layered and doesn't offer enough variation for the players. Let me do a QUICK AUDIT of the game's components and what is currently featured in the existing design:

1.0 Game Tiles

The game features a Tile Laying Mechanics which is similar to a Sandbox implementation in that player don't have to build upon the opponent's area of play ...

After much debate, I have decided that "Plains of Aria" (PoA) should be a game in and of itself. There was some planning that was leading in the general direction of a Magic: the Gathering (MtG) Format...

Well I figured I'd just share this because it has come on my radar during this week... While trying to figure out what to do with "Quest Adventure Cards(tm)", I took a good look at what is missing and how to move towards being a better game designer and having more success with my games.

Quest AC v1.5; the reboot is a compact game with a simple premise: be the first player to complete quests and score 30 Victory Points to win!
