Hi! For the last three monts I was developing a computer game and eve dodn't have time to biuld something from my LEGO :)
But finally I made a playable beta version and I'd like to show it here.

In CardWars the map is divided into provinces, the garrison of each consists of 1-7 cards. Attack enemies, and conquer the world!



Download CardWars v.0.5.2.22 (1,8 Mb)

Players: 2 - 9.
Multiplayer: hotseat.

System requirements: 256 Mb, 500 MHz, OS Windows, 800x600

Gameplay video

Controls
Left click - select a province.
Right click on the adjacent province - attack it or move garrison there
Double click - cards arrangement mode
Right click - clear selection
Button in the top left corner - next turn
Wheel click - hide/show garrisons

Detailed rules and scenarios descriptions

Please, share your opinions.

P.S. Now I'm at my aunt's in Vilnius and I bought 7635 4WD with Horse Trailer for only $18,21 :)

I've just had a quick look at it, haven't played it.
Looks like Risk and Dicewars, did you base it on any of those games?

[General]

Indeed! DiceWars game was one of the sources of inspiration. But I applied card rules to battles, thus lowering the role of sheer luck. (Yes, I know that in DiceWars a skilled player works out the streategy and wins even with bad random, but in CardWars we have more space for strategy and taсtics)

I've been tolerating this for a while, but if you're going to keep bumping this off-topic conversion and triple posting while doing so then I'm going to have to close it.
