#Crowns web version slowly getting functional. the queen is bugging out but once sorted we'll move on to adding multiplayer so we can do some actual live testing! 😁

new card backs! the card backs were my biggest frustration. finally managed to actually visualize my idea in a meaningful way!

Changing name of my game from #Crowns to #TinnyWar - changing the color theme from red/black to white/black. Changing the style to minimalist. Added suits back to the cards.

It will now come in a tin mint box instead of a tuck box. Hence the Tinny.

Rules were updated a few days ago changing Ace to be almost like it was but with a slight but powerful modification.

trying a new design. leaning into scifi instead of medieval style.

opinion? though?

I've completely rebuilt the page design and updated the text and illustrations on my #itchio page as well as created a sales page on #TGC for the upcoming release of my custom deck design for #crowns

i also cleared up the rules a bit on the joker.

I spent way too much time rewriting and updating the rules for my #cardgame #crowns. Maybe I didn't need to rewrite them entirely since it seems most people understood them anyway, but I added two optional rules in preparation for the custom cards version I'm working on and made a minor change to the King.

I haven't updated the rules on the wordpress page but they are updated on itch!

I just uploaded a print friendly version to https://sibachian.itch.io/crowns :)

Me and the wife put together a playthrough video to try and teach the game!

It's official, I got a page on #BGG for my game! I also tossed the rules up on #wordpress, thinking - if there is one free place on the internet that will stay around for another 50+ years, it's wordpress, immune to change, not even AI will take their relevance down.

I will use the wordpress page as the main rules ref page for the game.

Finally finished the play example sheet (going to start working on the new rules sheet now). Hopefully I covered all the rules questions in active play 😅

Finally managed to convince strangers to read through my rules over at #lemmy! Sadly it seems I hadn't been as clear as I though. I made some clarifications and you can check them out at the lemmy post https://lemmy.ml/post/32310100

Me & my friend played 6 games of Crowns in a row during our lunch break today. The flow of the game, at least based on these 6 tests, was butterly smooth! Both of us discussed practical tactical strategies during play & the decision space felt massive. Mistakes were also easy to punish.

I will run way more tests of course, but it actually feels like the game is nearing completion!

I made some minor refinement of the rules and tossed them into #chatgpt, running around 100,000 different simulations of my game.

Conclusively, the win rate for each player playing a perfect game is as follows:
• Black 48.46%
• Red 47.12%
• Draw 4.42%

edit: new rule source link! https://playcrowns.wordpress.com

I'm creating a card game and I'm unsure about the text design to choose. What do you prefer:

- The minimal design at the top?
- The bombastic, ornamental design at the bottom?
