Is it for android (since it's a jar). Again, the graphics is really cool. Board game has some learning curves. To make the battle scheme works more interesting, I thought about https:\/\/mekagem.itch.io\/regxkcd . Might be helpful for expanding the battle logic.

From perspective of game design, it lacks some deeper mechanics -- it's just too simple and too random (as it really depends on which card player gets). But all in all, good job.\n\n@shrekshao: Oooh, you just completely ruined my Ludum Dare reviewing with that xkcd-inspired game...

I didn't get what was happening in my first game, but then I remembered the theme, and so I realised that stacking monsters is bad! I'd been stacking my own monsters, and wondering why they were all bad. Really enjoyed the second game, though.
