SUBTWEET: The Card Game by chrisamaphone

[raw]
made by chrisamaphone for LD29 (COMPO)
THIS IS NOT A DIGITAL GAME. This game will require you having physical resources (index cards) and at least 2 other willing players. I hope you'll give it a try despite this overhead!

SUBTWEET is a social card game based on the notion of "subtweeting someone" on Twitter. It's about secrecy in plain sight: you want your intended recipient to know your tweet is about them, while fooling as many other people as possible into doubting your intent, perhaps even believing themselves to the be recipient.

Mechanically, the game involves each player having hands of cards, and taking a rotation of turns in which they play a card, potentially causing players (including themselves) to gain cards. The objective is to empty your hand.

haven't played it, but it's an interesting mechanic, and a cool take on the theme

Ok so a lot of thought has gone into this game.
Fun that it's a non-digital game (don't know if it has to be digital).

But I really don't have the possibility to play it :(

Rate it high on Innovation though.

Interesting that you chose not to make a digital game, nice and unorthodox.

I was unable to play it (seeing as it is not a digital game) so I didn't rate it.
