Greetings, salutations and all that jazz. My name's Chris, and I'm a writer and former video-game professional who recently created a card game... then found (much to my chagrin) that I had no one to test it with. Not content to continue playing alone, I decided instead to release it under a creative commons license and see if I could get some feedback.
Oddly enough, the game comes from a fantasy novel I'm writing. I've had the seed of the idea for years but never fully developed it. That is, until this past month when I was reorganizing my notes. Long story short, rather than getting real work done (ya know, writing the dang book), I designed the card game.
The game's called Gambit, and it's a non-collectible, player vs. player tactical card game. I happen to think it's a lot of fun, but I've been playing against myself. I somehow suspect that says something ill about my sanity, but I digress.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any and all feedback, and this forum seemed like a perfect place to start. Just pop on over to the not terribly awesome looking temporary Gambit site, download it and give it a shot.
Thanks for reading my ramblings. I'm off to poke around the rest of the forum now. :)
