Goodness gracious, what a delightful game! I played this with an RL deck numerous times, and it's always just a fun thing to play with when I need to kill some time. I'd drop a buck on this if it ever drops on Steam just so I could play it on my Steam deck or something!

Big question though, do you think you'll ever make the variation of this with the defeated Major Arcana being able to be stored too for abilities? I dunno if you played with that variant or care for it, but it kept the game fresh for me, and I was wondering if you might ever add that to this?

If not, no worries, this is still FANTASTIC to play, and I've already saved it to my favorites to keep playing this more. Thanks again for making such a delightful thing, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you for playing and for your kind words.

You are right that rules variants would be a good addition. I think as far as this PICO-8 version goes, though, it's not likely to happen. I was already running up against the "token limit" that PICO-8 enforces. Worth exploring, though, thank you.

I think for this version the next step is ironing out the bugs, getting the UI/UX a little tighter (for lack of a better word), and then getting it on the PICO-8 BBS: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?cat=7

As for a retail version, I'd probably rebuild it in something like Unity. Lots of options. I don't know the details of selling a PICO-8 game, and it generally seems (imo) against the spirit of the whole thing. I'd also want to arrange a deal or something with the rules creator since he did most of the work!

For the Steam Deck specifically, I might be able to get it working on there with this version. I have one available to try it out at least. I know I got this running on another smaller, cheaper Linux handheld. I will investigate and report back.
