CARD GAME

So I've been working on a card game for like seven years now!! It's taken many forms over the years. 

I've always wanted it to be a character-based BATTLE-type game like Magic or Pokemon. Also, I always wanted it to be a game contained within ONE DECK. ONE DECK is all you need to play, with up to SIX players if you want. 

I also want it to be a bit more PICK UP & PLAY than say Magic or Pokemon. Cue to this last X-Mas when my fam brought over EXPLODING KITTENS! Really fun game and I super enjoyed the "Russian Roulette" nature of the Exploding Kitten cards themselves. 

Cut to now, I have my own KNOCKOUT CARDS in MY card game, & it's kinda the coup of the whole game. 

My game employs elements of EK's Russian Roulette-style gameplay, with the ADDITION of "Fighters" you can put on the board to absorb attacks for you (& they can also be used to make attacks, etc)

^This is the newest iteration of the game. It's pretty simple! I don't want to get into too much detail about it yet, just wanted to share some progress. 

My new plan is to introduce this game featuring only my Fruit Characters, initially. I feel a fruit-themed battle game would be a lot easier for the general populace to understand rather a card game that incorporates ALL my characters at once right off the bat, feel me? 

With that said, if this initial version of the game is successful (re: not a failure), a SHARKNIFE THEMED DECK would be absolutely certain to follow. As well as EXPANSIONS that would be easy to insert into ANY deck, featuring any of my other properties (GUNBRAIN, PENG, WHATEVER). Yo, it's gonna be dope!

Why not START WITH SHARKNIFE?

Hear me out: I absolutely LOVE my Fruit Characters. They in fact [far] predate SHARKNIFE in terms of creation (they are childhood creations)

I want to turn them into SOMETHING huge. I don't have time to make them into a COMIC right now, I don't have the resources to make them into a CARTOON. But you know what? They will work PERFECT in a CARD GAME!!!!!

I already have the deck COMPLETELY laid out. There is a character / action for every card and it is so, so fun. Just wait!!!

Anyway, this has been brewing for 7 years, but I became truly obsessed with it yesterday and completely retooled things. 

^That GRAPE card demonstrates the fun nature in which the FRUIT theme will be very fun with this initial deck. In EXPLODING KITTENS there are a ton of cards that can only be played as a PAIR, I'm taking it further with my game, not only can you take an action with a pair (turn that pair into a FIGHTER), you can also STACK GRAPES (like Poker hands!) to completely wreck other player's fighters. 

Let me know, does that GRAPE card make vague sense to you?? I know y'all don't know the rules of the game, just checking if the information presented is fairly straightforward. 

+ + + + 

Considering the passion I'm feeling for this game right now, it is likely a fully functional BETA build will be ready soon, hopefully with a full game ready to go into production soon in 2020!! ! ! ! ! 

Ok back to comics!!! XD
