totally new mechanics for TCG

Boring...

Yeah, right.

"Better environment".

Try using the same lexicon here as you did on BGG. See how that goes ;)

There's no fight, amigo :)

As the video is on YouTube, you can save yourself some of the trouble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T13xrwoQIYA

The gimmick is a card that you punch holes into and place over other cards to reveal a table of possible results for a die roll.

Using punch holes over a chart seems to me would make fine tuning the game a ~pardon my french~ bitch. Since every stat would be connected, and you would need to build and tune a whole chart for each card.

If you're competing in the TCG market, you'll probably have to hold contests and as such, any out of balance card will be heavily criticized.

So just wondering, do you have some scheme or algorithm to balance the cards, or is your game "fun" oriented, and geared toward casual sport fans, rather than TCG players?

If it's the latter, please refrain from using the phrase TCG too much, as it really rubs TCG fans the wrong way.

This system seems problematic. Here are my thoughts.

I watched the video from a player's perspective. As a player, I want to know how my choices affect the outcome of the game, and I want to be offered multiple choices, with each one having a different impact on the state of the game.

In the video I only saw one choice being presented to the player: which spaces to punch out on the p3erc card. After that, the outcome is dictated by the roll of the die and the placement of the stats on the opposing card.

But I never saw anything that would indicate to me, as a player, which spaces I should punch on the p3erc card; there doesn't seem to be any information provided to the me as the player to allow me to make an informed decision as to which spaces I should punch on the card. Unless I'm allowed to look at the opposing stat card prior to punching the card. But if I'm allowed to look at the opposing card prior to punching my card, then my choice still doesn't offer me any interesting decisions- I will simply pick the most optimal spaces, based on the arrangement of the stats on the opposing card.

Essentially, as the p3erc system is described in the video, game play comes down to picking which spots to punch, then watching what the game system does with my punched spots. As a player, this game doesn't sound fun. It sounds like Chutes and Ladders- roll a die and see what happens- but with the players randomly eliminating some spots on the track prior to playing the game.

You did mention in the video that there would be a board where more things would be happening. Could you provide more information on what kinds of things would happen on the board. This information might improve my outlook on the game.

But if all the interesting decisions are being made on the board, then the p3rcs system just amounts to a convoluted method of creating a randomized set-up for the game's opening state.

The point is that your can have "Randomization" on the cards and use the p3erc cards to play the game.

I'd really like to see that video HOW a game is played - because all I know is that there are some actions.

With regards to the system, maybe half the card should be offense and the other half defense. Perhaps have "play cards" which are what cards are involved in the play. Not sure...

I'll wait to see the play video to know better aside from the statistical randomization, is the game FUN to play!

Cheers!

From what I've seen of the video, the player selects areas on each row, then the system determines results via positioning of the card.

At first glance, it sounds like a good way of introducing randomization for conflict resolution, but I get the feeling that it can be very easy to predict what result you want by punching the right spots; by memorizing exactly where the "right" spots are, you can effectively master and go around the punch system.

Still, what I've seen is only the basic mechanic and not its implementation. But these are my first impressions based on what I've seen in the video. Hope to see more soon!
