Lady Luck

Controls:

• Space - Advance timer one turn
• Left Mouse Button - Drag card to change draw order

Rules

Four players are playing a card game with the following rules:

• The goal is to get a stack of cards from 0 to 9 on the tower.
• A card can enter the tower by laying in the middle and being beaten by a higher card
• A player can play one card per turn
• If none of the player's cards are higher than the cards in the middle, discard both cards.
• A 0 beats a 9 and is necessary for the top of the tower.
• If a player is missing one or more cards, refill cards from the top of the deck.
• If a card is missing in the center after that, also refill that card from the top of the deck.
• If there are no more cards to deal, shuffle the discard pile and use that as the new deck.

You are: Lady Luck, The heart of the cards, Fate, whatever you want to call it. The players pray upon you for good cards!

It's on YOU to keep the players happy! Shuffle the top of the deck (Visible in the green area) around so your players get good cards and the right cards end up in the center! Keep an eye out on the player's happiness, though! Once 2 players end up unhappy (0), the game is over.

GMTK Game Jam 2023

This project was done for the GMTK Game Jam 2023, with the theme: Roles Reversed.

We all play games because we enjoy them. Now it's your turn to "be played" and make sure the players are enjoying themselves!

Background

This is the first project I've worked on in Godot 4 which is more than just some prototyping. I've never worked on a 2D project before this, so needless to say, a lot was new! I'm still happy how it turned out! As you may have noticed, I'm not much of a graphical artist :)

I've learned LOT during the last two days on working with the new version of GDScript and it was a tremendous step to actually start making games again!

Bugs

• Apparently something in the web-export isn't playing nice with the reload_current_scene function in Godot! So if you lose / win, it might be that the game freezes!
