I love when I can understand a game without a tutorial, at the beginning the card doesn't make much sense for me, but after my first lost round, I understand the object and how the cards work! We have other "balance the things with cards" in the LD, but this is one of my favorites games. The art and humor in the cards are amazing, and it's super easy to know how to play. Congrats! I love to see this game for mobile or something.

Like the core idea of balancing between three values with some rock scissor and paper relationships. I am a bit confused by the goal. I choose the normal mode of 15 years but I was defeated in the middle when all my three params are above 0.
Good work!

@very-bad-bunny-studio thank you for your comment :) I don't know if we will continue working on the game

@ruofusun thanks for playing the game, you can lose if any of your values are exceeded as well, probably that happened :)

Loved the presentation, and the sacrifice-a-virgin card was a funny touch. It took me a few tries to pick up the fact that balance was the objective of the game, but after that everything clicked. Well done!

The mechanics come together here really elegantly to produce good gameplay and a great comic tone, well done.
