Hello! I have a big project to share on the forum, but I have no idea how many images I'm allowed to post. If it turns out to be too many, please moderators, let me know, and I'll promptly remove some.
Let's get started! :) I know the topic of whether a card game is tolerated on Sea of Thieves has been raised. Well, yes, absolutely! The game I'm presenting today is not a gambling game. It's simply a quick and perhaps a bit complex game if you really want to get into it. But it's mainly meant as a pastime within the Sea of Thieves game. This is not a separate game entirely but rather a tabletop game directly integrated into the adventure. I drew inspiration from my three favorite card games to create it.
Don't worry, you're not obligated to read all the rules. The rules aren't final yet, but I've still worked hard to make sure everything runs smoothly, haha. If you're only interested in the beautiful cards, that's even better! It's also a collectible card game, after all!
Here to start are the card details, and another version with a visually simpler representation that is more representative in-game.
Here, you can see that there are two types of cards: legendary and common. Legendary cards cannot be stolen after the battle. However, a card that has been played can be stolen if the person loses the battle.
Similar to our ship decorations, cards obtained only through commendations will be able to evolve. :)
Now, let's delve a bit into the rules.
BATTLE SYSTEME
let's create an example to make things clearer!
The orange gem on the right represents speed; the card with the highest speed goes first.
skelly have Power of 10. so he will attack the oppenent card with 10damage
dont forget about the shield, the meg is not done yet
Meg win !
You see ! it's not that complicated
BOARD GAME
Now, here is the deck and game board. You're allowed only one copy of each card in the deck.
Now, let's face the actual gameplay. Again, nothing too complicated, but it's worth explaining each detail for those who are not familiar with card games in general.
We'll flip a coin (heads or tails) to determine who starts the match.
You start! So, you place a card, and your opponent does the same right after, anywhere, but only if your card can go on the Deep, Sea, and Land regions, of course.
Combat takes place only at the end! So, strategy can continue, and everything can be played up until the last card.
Here it gets a bit more complex. The player who started second must now begin the last turn to keep things fair.
DONE! The game lasts approximately between 2 to 3 minutes maximum. I don't want it to be too long for several reasons that I'll explain later.
Let's see who won! all card fight face to face.
Perfect, you won! So, you have the right to steal a card that has been played on the board, excluding the legendary ones.
Ok, but what happens if there's a draw between two cards?
Who wins? That's where the Soul Stone comes into play. The one with the better Soul wins the duel.
Here you go:
There you have it, the game is explained!
So if you still reading, I would like to talk about how to obtain it and where you can play this game. Because it would be strange to play and suddenly be killed by an opponent, and the match is canceled! Well, no, precisely.
Firstly, it doesn't matter if you die during the match; the game continues. You'll die just after the match anyway, but regardless, the game lasts a very short time. The reason it's short is that we never know when we might be attacked by a kraken, face an invasion, or encounter sudden PvP. The game is perfect for passing the time during voyages, but let's not forget the real game!"
OBTAIN THOSE CARD
To obtain them? Easy! Common cards will be found everywhere, in barrels, forts, world events, in sunken ships, siren shrines, all over the open sea. And the legendary ones will be available only through commendations and cannot be stolen, as it would be a bit silly to have a commendation stolen, haha.
OK BUT WHERE CAN I PLAY
Where to play? Anywhere there's a table, Port Merrick, tavern, all hideouts, and I would like us to be able to play even on the ship, perhaps on a barrel that serves no purpose, there is so many useless barril in all the ships type, that you pirate maybe can just spawn a chair , for example, and play on the barrel.
ALL SPECIES
Here are all the cards (for now) that I am currently creating and improving every day for this purpose. I'm doing my best to make it all fair and fun; I even printed out cards to play with my cousin, just to see if it worked and to figure out which cards were too strong. Haha!
THATS IT. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments. I've put a copyright on my game, so only Sea of Thieves can take it. I'll leave it here. Thank you!
