Queer Cards: Dice and Demis
A downloadable game for Windows
A cardgame made inspired by Pokemon where you have to fight bigots trying to prevent you from getting married to the prince.
Your goal is to make sure your opponent has no cards left, by defeating all of their creatures. You take a card from your hand (if you've got the dice for it), place it on the field. Then you can click the card on the field to get up a skill menu in the lower right corner. Click one of the skills, then an opponent card. It should lose health. The damage dealt depends on defense and strength, so you could deal 0 damage.
In this version it is not possible to back out of a decision once you've pressed something.
When thinking about the theme for the BigMode Game jam 2025, we immediately went for political power, such as oppression, and the power of standing up to it. In the end, though the game built on this idea, we didn't manage to communicate this story more than what you see due to time constraints.
There were more cards than just creatures made, but there was no time to implement them, so they had to be shelved (for now). The story had no time to be put in the game, and for now there are no tooltips, so it might be difficult to figure out what to do. There are also still bugs in the game. But we made a valiant effort and had fun.
