We'd be more interested in one of those offset wheels with the marbles in them.\n\nI don't have a printer either, so I drew up my own cards and played that way. Maybe it was just the luck of my draws, or I misread one of the rules, but I had no problems building a 4-tile circuit plus a battery recharge with only 3 energy used each turn. I ended up with 24 energy at the end of the game with no real thought on my end. And, if I read the rules correctly, I could set up a 4-tile loop with the power source in the first round, then keep it for the next two rounds for an easy +8. I think some actions need a bigger penalty - perhaps swapping cards on the field has an extra energy spent per swap (adjacent = 2 energy, one tile over = 3 energy, across the board = 7 energy)? Or maybe rewarding the player additional points for setting up multiple complete loops? Either way, it's a very interesting card game and I'm glad to have played it.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sciman101","author_uid":"1094933","time":"2020-04-25T15:56:48Z","epoch":1587830208,"modified":1587830208,"text":"Finally got around to playing this, kudos to you for putting together a card game for the LD! I thought it was a neat concept, but ran into the same issue as niterich - once you have a decent loop setup, there's no incentive to change your system, since it generates the same amount of energy each round. Maybe it was lost in translation, and I'm supposed to shuffle the cards that _do_ make up a loop. Either way though, this idea has potential, and I think you pulled it off well aside from that one balance issue. Great job!","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/200278-f096040a503ffa5d298ad6a732e04124.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/gabtoschi.itch.io\/perpetualmotion","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"63490","g_author":"1148449","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"278940","g_title":"Perpetual Motion","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"200278","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"200278","n_urlkey":"278940","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/perpetual-design","n_slug":"perpetual-design","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"148449","n_created":"1587352668","n_modified":"1587437456","n_version":"610352","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":200278,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":148449,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-20T19:11:54Z","created":"2020-04-20T03:17:48Z","modified":"2020-04-21T02:50:56Z","version":610352,"slug":"perpetual-design","name":"Perpetual Motion","body":"![Perpetual Motion Logo](\/\/\/raw\/1e3\/42\/z\/30e9a.png)\n\nScientists often classify perpetual motion machines according to the thermodynamics law they violate.
