This was a lot of fun as a kind of \"push your luck\" solitaire. Would have liked to see more control or ways to manipulate the stacks when you get a bad draw, like splitting or rearranging or something. Nice job, and it's hard to get a card game that feels complete like this in a short time!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":898125,"author_name":"kristinamay","author_uid":"kristinamay","epoch":1673235139,"text":"I'll start off by saying I'm a big fan of solitaire games (the Zachtronics solitaire collection has a LOT of playtime on my Steam account!). So I grabbed a deck of cards and played this for a while. Once I got the hang of it, I was really impressed with the depth of strategy required for successfully playing. If I have a stack that's looking promising but the top card is a Jack, do I roll the dice and try to add another card, or do I play it safe and harvest it to avoid defeat? I am apparently a bit too risk-taking for this game because my high score was only 5 (I had a 7-stacker sitting in my active crops when I lost, ugh!!). I have a bit of feedback on the rules: first, I think just picking the top three cards as the active crops and going from there is an interesting variant, that's what I did (it definitely made it harder). It wasn't totally clear to me that the rules were in order. I know that sounds silly, but I thought at first I was just reading a set of mechanics and then implementing them. The game made much more sense once I actually started doing the turns in the correct order. Anyway, great work, and I was glad to get away from my screen for a bit to play an analog game!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":899124,"author_name":"unpronounceable","author_uid":"unpronounceable","epoch":1673267997,"text":"@joel-davis Thanks for the kind words. Wanting to push your luck is what I was going for with this game. I had spent some time trying to think of a way allow more manipulating the stacks but unfortunately didn't have enough time to do so.\n\n@kristinamay Have quite a bit of time on the Zachtronics Solitaire Collection myself. The highest score me and the one other person playtesting it was 8. The variant you mentioned is how I originally had it before switching to the picking. Would have some games that ended immediately and this was a way to mitigate that. In the past I usually add an \"Example of Play\" section that helps explain some things, like strange orderings of things and edge cases, but didn't have the time to do that.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":916490,"author_name":"KOHCEPBA","author_uid":"kohcepba","epoch":1673546436,"text":"You should include illustrations or photos in the description.

Personally I would have made it much more complex with something like random dices and maybe other players but I am not a big solitaire fan, so I am probably wrong.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ldjam-media\/sha256\/55\/55da038757484059c600aa9a068b1c1bf84718e0ed964874fd01ef9945acf7df.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/jesserahikainen.github.io\/B%C3%BAskap\/b%C3%BAskap_rules.pdf","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"87073","g_author":"1000860","g_event":"LD52","g_eventkey":"116","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"399508","g_title":"B\u00faskap","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"4","g_site2_node_id":"319664","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"319664","n_urlkey":"399508","n_parent":"313060","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/buskap","n_slug":"buskap","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"860","n_created":"1673187223","n_modified":"1744818188","n_version":"986626","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD52","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":8,"author":860,"body":"Had a very limited amount of time this weekend so I threw together a quick little solitaire card game.
