Choices

Just in time for Christmas, a card game for two players, using a standard deck of cards, Choices.

I feel it owes quite a lot to Cribbage, with more than a passing nod to the Solomon Draft format from Magic the Gathering.

The toughest part of this game is assigning sensible scores to the sets of cards, as this will drive the strategy that you use to pick and assign cards. I think that I’ve nailed it with the triangular number spread, after trying various other systems (linear, squares and cubes), it gives a boost to playing more cards, but not such a massive swing that the game can be won on a single hand.

As always, let me know if you have any thoughts about it, I’m always happy to get feedback, as it helps me shape future games.
