A downloadable game

SHUFFLEPARRY is an attempt to make simultaneous card combat match the feeling of figuring out each other's attacks and making it work in a multiplayer mode as well.

You basically both simultaneously reveal cards and try to match suits to parry, and there are some complications around that to try and make it interesting.

I think it still needs a lot of work! But I think it's an interesting base to start exploring from.

Made for the Playtest Zero ParryJam.

Gave this a try, playing as the Fortress! I found that keeping information hidden from yourself was an interesting texture and puzzle to figure out, but the Swords' various "move or shuffle and replace" effects felt superfluous. I didn't have any effects where the specific positions of their cards would be helpful to know, only the distributions of their revealed or hidden values.

Also: Is there a distinction between Fortress cards that "remain face up" vs "are discarded?"
