Cuttle – a MTG like game using a standard 52 card deck

For anyone who wants a more complex game proximate to this design, there's a small production called Reinforcements (https://reinforcementscg.myshopify.com/). Non-collectible, single box.

You play a hand of up to 5 cards each turn: Adding cards to (concealed) stacked ranks of defending troops, attacking an opponent's ranks, using a card's ability. The suits have different defensive properties when arranged in a rank, and combine in interesting ways; there are also "ultimate" powers players can grab from the center by forming their ranks with particular arrangements of suits, which act as turtle-busters.

Highly recommended, quite fun, probably plays best 1v1. Definitely a lot of small rules to absorb, so it's a more complex beast. But nowhere close to the complexity of Magic.

I'd never heard of reinforcements, but it looks awesome. Definitely will purchase.

I'd never heard of astroturfing, but it looks intruguing. Definitely suspicious.

They have 300 times and 1000 times the reputation you have. Maybe dail down the paranoia.

That doesn't mean anything lol. I have over 100k karma on Reddit, and I’ve rented the account several times for various astroturfing posts for small startups. You’d be surprised how common that is. (I'm not proud of that, it was 6+ years ago. I wouldn't do it today)

This is for a simple card game man. Recommending board games is part of the culture of the hobby. It ain’t that deep

7thaccount is a great HN user. I don't believe they're astroturfing. I do believe you meant this sincerely though.

Would you say you would definitely recommend 7thaccount to other HN users?

Not sure I'm interpreting your question correctly.

(i think they're jokingly implying you're continuing with the astro-turfing thing, i.e. "Ten out of ten HN mods recommend 7thaccount!" :D )

Sorry. I just reread the comment I made and yeah that looks like some product placement or fake Amazon review.

I can assure you it's coincidental. I posted about a game I recently discovered and then have been super stoked by people leaving their knowledge of similar games that I'm now also excited to give a go. I've recently got into card games and domino games with the kid (a few board games too) and it's all a blast. One of my favorite aspects of HN (have been on here for about a decade, but occasionally lose my account password and have to start over) is the collective knowledge of curious people who know deep stuff about nearly every topic.

If co-op games are more your speed, check out Regicide.

+1 Regicide is a great game, difficult to master, but when playing with the same people often you learn how to play and work off each other in subtle ways.
