I'm glad you enjoyed the game :-) Developing a working rule set was indeed the hardest part. I did not calculate any statistics, so the rules might not be that good. I just printed out a bunch of paper cards and tried different ideas and combinations, actually with a group of about four players in mind. The dwarf cards were added about three hours before the submission deadline. That happened for two reasons: Without the dwarves the deck is only 28 cards and it plays a little too quickly. And I wanted to give players more choice.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Fractal","author_uid":"1143275","time":"2019-10-10T20:50:38Z","epoch":1570740638,"modified":1570740638,"text":"Quite easy (once you understand the rules) but fun game, and the graphics are really nice!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Pedro Rosa","author_uid":"1050664","time":"2019-10-10T21:31:18Z","epoch":1570743078,"modified":1570743078,"text":"It's a cool game with an interesting mechanic.

Really like the visuals, nice and clean, runs well, starts quickly =).

I think the difference in the player and the dealer could be explained more. I am also confused by the definition of a pair, if both players have the same card does that count? Who gets the points?
