does this map even work anymore ? i tried playing it with a buddy and it does load but the boards of each player don't actually update per turn at all , like it still showed in the UI that i had 5 crystals when i had 0 , and that i was getting +2 when i had played 4 mages

For those that loved the flash game, this is it

Fun Game but "Curse" card is incredibly broken to the point of where we have to ban it to have a good time.

very fun 10/10

Took a couple games to get the hang of it, but pretty fun. If you like Adventure Time card wars I think you'd enjoy this.

I can't play .. Host can see resources and create deck, other player cannot
We get the following : WWW Image Error: Malformed URL at [] <>

Scripts crash on rewinding turn.
Besides that, nice deckbuilder, very fun
Also, apparently Sabotage is a bit bugged.
Sometimes when you select a card the opponent gets an extra hand drawn on top of the old cards

Really, REALLY good, however Curse is incredibly unbalanced, especially if pulled early in the game. Increasing the cost to something like 23-32 might be better. It will always give you 1 of everything, and for reference, the school card costs 30 bricks and just gives you 1 of each worker.

really good 10/10

Very nicely done, i played the 2D game years ago and im still beating anyone in the game, next bonus maybe add better players? (not toxic, just joking x3)

The Ambush Card does not directly damage the opponents castle, despite the wiki saying so.

@Autoministrator The mod receives bug-fixes and updates for compatibility with new TtS versions, however the project is considered scope-complete and no further updates are planned.

@OneDeadDonkey Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review! It's always great to get thoughtful feedback. To address a few of your points:

Firstly, credit where credit is due: this is not an original creation; it's a remake of a popular Flash game that was originally created by Morkeulv - we did the models, animations, scripting and implementation in Tabletop Simulator. However the mechanics, card costs and abilities, and rules are copied from the original game.




Production quality: thank you very much! We really tried our best and are very happy with how it turned out. My personal favourite is the "Am Bush" pun. It still makes me chuckle.

Please put the game play areas on the long sides of the table

We considered this during development but sadly found that some players were becoming confused as to which side they were on.

We did however add the ability to play cards directly from the bottom of your screen: hover over a card and press either `1` to play, or `2` to discard. This is easier than dropping cards into the play area and allows you to freely move around the table.




The Bribe and Curse cards are ridiculously overpowered

I'm tempted to agree (usually when i get hit with one). We debated adjusting/balancing some of the costs for cards, but ultimately decided to stick with the original values.

If we were to adjust I'd be tempted to have this cause a player to lose a fraction of their workers (eg, 1/4, with a minimum of 4) to prevent abuse early on, and have a bigger effect on players with more workers.

A couple dozen games and we never even came close to the build to 100 win condition.

Interesting! I suspect this is down to differing play styles. It is often easier to prevent your opponent from surviving than it is to build up high enough.




Crystal resources are the most valuable and can win the game over the others.

Pesky wizards and their OP magic! You're right, and this could potentially do with some tweaking.

@Sweetshart @JustMeJake Please see the discussions section for info about the game being made for [n][ players.
Hauptmann Voss 21 Jan, 2023 @ 2:06pm 
is there any add ons to this game ? or does someone work on this mod
Makinzay 18 Jan, 2023 @ 5:24pm 
HELP!

"Only player red can control their deck"

This started happening out of nowhere. I can't select red or blue as the host or as someone joining the game. The game has become unplayable for me :(

Old Gamer's Review Part IV
The Absolutely Fantastic
1. Pacing. You guys nailed the pacing. Its a fantastic game for pacing.
2. Simplicity to depth of strategy ratio is also amazing. You guys again - nailed it.
3. Production value. For being built inside TTS - amazing. This could easily be a paid DLC game. Thank you for building it and letting us play.
4. Replay value is again amazing. Even as we picking apart the things we weren't sure we liked, we kept playing more games just to solidify our ideas and ensure we were thinking about it the right way. We tabletop game every week and this will definitely be in our regular rotation.

Overall this is a must play game for any 2 player groups. Easy to pick up. It has meat to chew on. Great replay value. Just really wanted to give honest feedback because this is a game on the workshop that deserves it. Well done guys - this one is a keeper. Cheers!

Old Gamer's Review Part III
The Knits to Picks
1. Please put the game play areas on the long sides of the table. We rotated and pulled back so we could actually watch the game play. Watch the card effects. Can't see much from the current POV. We figured it out and enjoyed the game a great deal more when rotating the camera and watching it from the side and dropping our card into the play areas along the edges of our screens.
2. A couple dozen games and we never even came close to the build to 100 win condition. I got my castle to 77 one game.... and the choice came down to just destroy my opponent this round... or spend the next 2-3 building to 100. And honestly by that point the game had snowballed to the point where it would've just been me being a dick and prolonging the game just to win by building to 100. We later just forgot about it and didnt even consider it.

Old Gamer's Review Part II
2. Crystal resources are the most valuable and can win the game over the others. We aren't sure what to do here, no great recommendations, but we came to the conclusion that crystals win games. We would win by basically rendering the other from gaining/amassing crystals.
3. The yellow cards. Combined resources. We didnt remove them from our decks, but we definitely found they were discarded (after playing them just to see the effect) every time. They are never effective enough to justify the cost. 20 of one resource plus 10 of another. Never worth it compared to what you can do with 30 of a single resource or even 20 of the individual resource. We thought maybe making all of the yellow cards even combinations of all 3 resources with reduced costs. So, instead of 20 + 10 cost, 10 + 10 + 10 for the same effect. Just our opinion.

[h1]Old Gamer's Review[/h1] Part I
Hey guys just wanted to take a few moments to drop a review because really this game deserves a review.

Some thoughts from a couple of old gamers who played a couple dozen matches.

The Not So Good - (let's get it out of the way)
We had some things we noticed through the matches we played and wanted to share our opinions:
1. The Bribe and Curse cards are ridiculously overpowered. If you're lucky enough to play them early it completely snowballs the game and the first to do so pretty much wins. It's a forgone conclusion. The pricing is no where near high enough for a card which effectively nets the user an actual +2 in resources (+1 one for user -1 for target). Once an opponent is reduced to a single resource maker that resource effectively becomes moot for the remainder of the match. Its the snowball effect these cards swing the balance so far out of whack we ended up removing them from the decks and enjoyed the game a great deal more
JustMeJake 25 Nov, 2022 @ 1:24pm 
please make a version for up to four people
Sweetshart 16 Nov, 2022 @ 10:21pm 
Can we get a version for 6 players? as in 3 different tables
Duble0tt 23 Sep, 2022 @ 8:18am 
This is awesome, thanks for creating this
Elysion 𒉭 30 Aug, 2022 @ 1:33pm 
Congratulations and thank you! Simple yet very fun.

wonderful

Thanks for bringing one of my favorite games to table top with all of these wonderful animations
Finaryman 12 Jul, 2022 @ 5:44am 
is this possible to play with internet connection, because the other player was without ui, and we had difficulty of getting deck to the other player.
Chubs 3 Jun, 2022 @ 3:02pm 
Amazing

Hayboza 20 Feb, 2022 @ 12:38pm 
this is the best mod ever made

Love the game. Was a blast from the past for me and my friends. :steamthumbsup:
Jinshushei 28 Jan, 2022 @ 1:18pm 
how does the host play the game? this isn't making any sense whatsoever. i can select blue/red but the host cannot.
Night 16 Jan, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
@PsyKoPat it does work in VR, I just played it with my friend for 5 hours straight. Lost track of time with how fun we were having.
pgames-food 12 Jan, 2022 @ 8:10pm 
hi cakeofdoom, its true that a very large deck can dilute it and lose focus, but a lot can still be achieved with large deck sizes in other games, like slay the spire etc here :)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2631769014

(especially if each type of card is scaled up in numbers to balance things out)
GreenStar 12 Jan, 2022 @ 5:28pm 
Very sad at the fact that the game doesn't work in VR :steamsad:
i tried creating a deck and nothing happened... :steamsalty:
Lt. Ruben 7 Dec, 2021 @ 10:53pm 
Are there rules how many or how few cards in total you can have in your deck? This is very important. There is a reason, most card games have a min and max deck size. The bigger the deck, the less reliable. Deck builder games like dominion even have mechanics to thin out your deck and make it stronger that way. Being able to play a thin optimized deck from the start would be a problem.
So are there min and max sizes so far?
Willoway 27 Sep, 2021 @ 6:35pm 
Oh the Castle Wars flash game was so awesome! This brings back good memories.
Minipomme 4 Sep, 2021 @ 9:37am 
Great game! Super well animated and scripted! A 4 player version would be really nice too!
Searanger  [author] 2 Sep, 2021 @ 6:26pm 
@IceMaverick - Cards are auto reshuffled into the deck so it is impossible to run out of cards. Also since there is no discard pile and cards are automatically shuffled back in there is always the chance of drawing cards more or less often just due to random luck.
IceMaverick 27 Aug, 2021 @ 4:30pm 
The game's rules don't mention what happens when you reach the end of your deck. Does it re-shuffle? Do you deck out? Trying to figure out the theory behind deck optimization.

Hey folks! I've seen this mod is very well scripted and I was wondering if you might want to collaborate on the project I'm working on right now? Its a trading card game and i was wondering about the ability to automate some of the game here on TTS? You can DM me if you are interested. Also I dont expect help for free and would be happy to pay $$$

Essence, Evolution 20 Aug, 2021 @ 7:58pm 
Amazing scripting for a mod. This could practically be a standalone game, and on par, if not better than most of the DLC on TTS. Thank you for the mod and keep up the great work!
magicoz.k 15 Aug, 2021 @ 1:31am 
fun but i need rulebook
Perpetua 19 Jul, 2021 @ 10:03pm 
Really well made game
Willow 10 Jul, 2021 @ 11:21pm 
Fun game, but only host seems to be able to view and create decks, as well as see resources.
Both players are in the correct color slots, both can lock in and play the game, however only the host is able to create or alter decks and see resources, other player just has to ask host to give them decks and tell them what the resources are.
