[Game] Nerdicard

Idea
It all started from this Instagram post about a Yugi-oh game made by Nerds. A few people in the comments decided that they wanted to create that game and set up a discord server to work on it. Sadly the discord became inactive and the project died.
My Attempt
While the project had still some people interested, I tried to make a simple prototype for the web with the skills I had at the time. But after the discord died down I left it there.
If the idea is interesting to you, feel free make your own iteration!
Checkout the deployed version!
* Render need ~50s cold start
Gameplay
You and your opponent start the game with 100 points. The objective of the game is to have your opponent have zero or less points at the end of their turn while keeping your points above zero.
Players always have 5 cards in their deck. At their turn they can play any amount of cards in the fields, at the end of their turn the cards used will be replaced. There is two type of cards, normal cards that are aligned next to each other to form an expression and function cards that take a whole field.
Function Card
Expression Card
There is three fields:
- Attack field: Apply the expression or function to your opponents points
- Defense field: Apply the expression or function to your own points
- Fusion field: Apply the expression or function to both your points
- The Fusion field will apply it's content after the attack and defence fields are applied.
Possible improvements
The game is currently completely unbalanced, a game can be decided in one round depending on the cards. Also there is no rarity system, you have the same chances of getting any one of the cards and some cards feel useless for most of the game. Lastly the game loop is pretty boring.
Idk what to do about it yet >:)
I'm open to suggestions via github issues or others
That's all.
