Dear nerdy board gaming friends:
I have a specific card game I'd love to play with a friend across the country while live streaming.
Is there a way to somehow do that?
For example, I thought of having my husband make two identically ordered decks, and then I could mail the other player one, and we could use our duplicate decks to play together (with some "promise not to look" activity), but then I realized you usually have to shuffle the discard pile and my scheme fell apart!
@grammargirl The perfect tool for this exists:
@grammargirl You can make custom decks! I did this when I designed my game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa.
@peterdrake Thanks! I'll look closer.
@peterdrake Did the deck you made have more than 52 cards?
@grammargirl Yes, 108.
You can see it in action on playingcards.io here:
@peterdrake Thanks! The video is really helpful. This looks great too.
I haven't messed around with it myself, but I'm pretty sure that it's flexible enough to support pretty much any card game: https://playingcards.io/docs/custom-decks
@peterdrake @grammargirl I’ve been researching ways to simulate my card game (ahem, workshop facilitation tool). Same issues—I have too many cards.
I REALLY don’t want to have to code my own interface. 😅
I second this, I've made a lot of prototypes with it, also with my own designed cards. You can have any size deck you want, you can also say I want this card 3 times.
@peterdrake This is so close to what I need, and I'm hopeful something like this exists.
It's my own game, Peeve Wars, that has a 72-card deck.
This looks like it's limited to 52 cards. (Please tell me if I'm wrong!)
