Kickstarter Playing Cards

This page is the guide to playing cards that is currently up on the Kickstarter page.

Note: The images shown below do not represent how the game currently looks, but how it could look for the Early Access Launch (kind of "current vision" for how it'll look)



When you load the game, you'll be presented with the Main Menu screen, where you can login to your account via button on the top right button, or go into a game. You can play local games without needing to login.



Later, we'll talk about how to setup a new game, but for now we're going to talk about how the game is played, so we're going to click Load Game.



On the Load Game screen (above), you'll see a list of games you're currently playing with your friends. Each listing shows whether it's online (O) or local (L), what the title of the game is, and whose turn it is.



The game board is pictured above for a 2 player game (it'll look a little different for more players). This is where all the action happens. You and your friends will take turns playing cards on this board.

On your turn, you typically draw a few cards (automatically) and are required to play some cards. To play a card, first click on one of them that's in your hand (the bottom-most row of cards in the above screenshot).

Note: Don't worry about not knowing what a card does, you can always back out of selecting one.



Once you've selected a card, you're presented with options on where to play it (above). Generally, this is in front of yourself, an opponent of your choice, or the center (for cards that affect everyone), but some cards may have special requirements on where to play them. If a card has such requirements, it will only list the places you're allowed to play it.

Note: Again, don't worry if you don't know exactly what a card does yet, you can still back out after choosing the location.

For this example, we'll be playing Bible Study on ourselves.



At this point, you'll be shown what the card does if you play it to the area you selected (above). It will also prompt you on whether or not you want to play this card there or not, in case you've made a mistake.

Once your turn is over, play proceeds clockwise. While you can't play cards out of turn (unless you have admin privileges - see the setup section), there is something you can do in this downtime.

Next on the Kickstarter Page is the section for Creating a Card.
