As an aspiring game designer, I've done a lot of research and learned a ton while working on my own card game.

This thread is a collection of my favorite and most useful resources. Mostly for me, but I hope it helps other aspiring designers too! 🎮🃏

A Thread 🧵⬇️

[VeeMerk (Vince) @VeeMerk]

Just spent an entire meeting playing this (don’t tell my boss 🤫)and it’s safe to say I’m addicted and still trying to achieve a respectable time.

Super duper fun, and check out the “Play on browser” option to make your work day better. 👾

[Mr.Funfantastic @Mr_Funfantastic]

Can you beat my time? ⏰

Added “Play on browser” for anyone to try

Super pumped to buy Mood Swings by @maro254! Can’t wait to receive the game and see what cards I get in mine 🫡 been loving all the podcast episodes about the game, both on Drive to Work and with @Justin_Gary

@yanxchick Is this open for remote to a Canadian worker? I’ve got the perfect fit, someone who fills all these shoes that you don’t want to miss out on (aka my sister)

@sugorokuya What game is this? Art looks amazing

[VeeMerk (Vince) @VeeMerk]

Extremely ambitious and very awesome, a classic card game returns backed by Panini. Welcome back, CHAOTIC! 🫡

Very curious to learn more.

Magic: The Gathering would’ve been 100x more iconic if it had a big legendary dragon every 20-40 year old immediately recognizes. 🐉

This was basically a requirement for any iconic ’90s-2000s IP.

@bbrode Resource Systems are often the “make or break” for a card game, and most of the time you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. This video from @SloopdoopFaB does an AMAZING job at walking us through the history of resource systems starting from 1993 MTG.

@bbrode This article from 2018 by Nicholas Kinstler titled "Card Games - A Simple Design is a Good Design". It does a great job explaining where games should add complexity, and where they should keep it simple. Major highlight to the part about Limited Memory.

@CallofDuty @RavenSoftware @Treyarch are we not going to do anything about all these cheaters in BO7? You hyped up an anti-cheat system that shoots nerfs at cheaters. What’s happening over here

[VeeMerk (Vince) @VeeMerk]

Where it all started @Pokemon @Nintendo 💛 really cool images to see!

@NepentheZ 12 years, 9 months and 21 days (4678 total days) subbed to you on YouTube. First FIFA YouTuber I ever watched, and played the game every year since then except for this year, EAFC26. But I’m still watching your RTG and Draft to Glory every day cause it’s a ritual 👊

Congrats to @OpTic for being the @CODLeague back-to-back champs🏆 #GreenWall @Tbemercules was the catalyst pickup, and @scump watch party makes watching so much more fun. @H3CZ is cooking

The CDL needs a shakeup though. Make two 12 team divisions, and add relegation/promotion.
