    I like that this game is based on Clear the Dungeon which in turn uses elements from Gridcannon to create a community effort of lonely gamers that own a deck of playing cards.

      There's a lot of games that could be called regicide at this point lawl. There's a product that is sold (basically themed deck of playing cards) called Regicide so probably need more unique names.

    • @kosterix123

      Regicide is a normal reaction,
      until you realize that there are at least five different game rulesets all called regicide. There's also one called Headcannon.
      It blows up royals, from a distance.
      Think of it as a 2-d version of execution...
      Which is so far the most impressive (to me).

    Hi. Very nice design, some very interesting mechanics there. It seems a lot of people have issues with reusing the discards. May I suggest discarding to the bottom. That way if you keep a high card, you have to dig down to it. This should force players to use low cards more, and add some tactical choices.

    Since you get to keep a card, this seems like a hard game to lose. The fun part about Clear the Dungeon is that, in most cases, you don’t know if you’re going to win until you reach the final round. This one feels like the ‘keep a card’ acts as a fail safe.

    • @roofkat
      @roofkat  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Although it was based on Clear The Dungeon, this game ended up being quite different - probably easier if you know what you're doing yeah! However, if you play the version without jokers or aces, it should still provide a decent challenge, especially if you're trying to get as high a score as possible.

    I am on the process of thinking some additional rules for giving the chance to the royals to fight back.The only thing is that you may need an extra deck of cards and two dices:
    Imagine this: You take the 4 jacks,the 4 queens and the 2 jokers from the extra deck. The Jacks are Royal guards and the Queens are Royal Mages! As for the Jokers are your spies! Every time you trigger an attack to one of the royals you roll the dice.If you get a double then the Royal gets a chance to call reinforcements! So you draw a card from the small deck of 10 cards that you made!(4Js, 4Qs and 2Joks).If you draw a Jack(Guard) you add 2 extra points in the royal and if you draw a Queen(Mage)then you add 3. If the overall points that you have(without the trigger card) are less than the points accumulated by the royal then you get damage!
    Damage points:As long as you get damage you roll a dice and you get as many damage as the number of the dice.Max health lets say 20!
    If you die you lose(obviously!!)
    As for the jokers: When a Joker appears in the extra deck(Lets call it "War deck") then you reroll the pair of dice and you adding the number divided by two to your points! If you get a double then the Royal that you have attacked automatically dies whatever the dice!(It can be 1 and 1!) I call this rule "The rogue assassin" because your spy turns into a rogue assasin(obviously!!)
    But we are not done yet.
    If in the "War deck" appears a Guard for the same suit as the Royal that you have attacked, then my friend you are in a really bad situation! Why's that?? Because this Guard is actually a Royal Knight and it adds 5 points to the Royal's overall!(Let me see you fighting the Royal now!)Don't forget!A draw favors the Royal!!
    But wait....
    What about a Queen(Mage) with the same suit as The Royal that you have attacked.....
    Then my friend you are officially doomed because this is not a usual Mage! This is the royal Wizard(or Wizardess if you prefer!)There is only one way to win now!...
    You roll one dice and you draw two additional cards .If the total of the two dice and the two cards are above 20 then you managed to kill the the Royal Wizard! You survived and the Royal dies automatically and goes to the graveyard with alla the cards attached to it except the one you choose to go to the discard.
    Please if you read all that and you think that something is missing from the rules let me know!
    This comment will be updated with some corrections and modifications!!

    • @Vg88-k
      @Vg88-k 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually the reroll in the Joker case is useless because you already have enough points to fight as long as you have triggered the attack....I will think of something else with the Joker

    Hi. Sorry I'm late. I've been a solo board gamer for 25+ years and just started watching these games with standard playing cards. Yours is as good as most out there and definitely worth trying. Glad you added the bit at the end because being able to calculate a score you can try and beat is always a plus. You probably know that the trigger element is used in Grid Cannon.
    As I like complex board games, I find all the playing card games a rather simple and unexciting. This is obviously because of the simplicity of standard playing cards.
    Off topic. Languages interest me. I taught myself German completely from scratch, to a standard high enough to work in a German speaking Tech Support role. Anyway...I digress. My question is What do the B, V and H stand for. I know in German that the B is Bube.
    I've liked and subbed. Thank you for uploading this.

    • @roofkat
      @roofkat  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey mdsc, thanks for watching the video!
      It's a Dutch set of cards, so the B V and H are
      B = "Boer", which means Farmer, in place of the english J
      V = "Vrouw", which means woman or wife, in place of the english Q
      H = "Heer", which is either a fancy way of saying man, but also translates to lord, which is probably what this comes from, replacing the english K
      Hope that helps :)

    Interesting!
    I'm gonna try this with the royals having an attack back via dice roll causing some cards to go to graveyard every other turn and see how that goes. Jokers the exception. Access to the reserve pile can be applied if draw card deck is empty and royals still need defeated.
    Beyond that, I think the reserve pile should have cards placed underneath.
    I wonder how your game would do as player vs player. 🙂

  • @taxcafe71

    Hello, when you say we need to ‘play all three” of our draw pile cards, I’m assuming discarding is not considered ‘playing’? Is the game over if I’m not able to play my 3 face up cards? Also, once I play my first (or second) Royal defeating card, is it too late to discard that royal defeating card if I realize I’ve made a mistake? 😂 I’m pretty sure it’s game over with either scenario, but I thought I’d ask. Fun game, thanks to you and Ramon! Syma

    Hi there!! I do love your games although I have a suggestion here, I think the idea of "u can choose to either put the used cards on or under the discard pile" making the game too easy, no offense here, so I suggest only put the card on top of the discard pile will make the game more challenge so now players will have to find ways to get rid of em some how. Furthermore I think the idea of reusability is good, still I find it too boring after I got a hand on some high cards, my suggestion is what if u add some restriction such as "the cards that once went to discard pile will be able to reused only once" or "U can only put the trigger cards to discard pile"or so u think suitable, I am pretty sure u will come up with something better than my idea, I think these might spice ur game up a little. For ur record I do love ur game, all these comment have no grudge or any thing if u find my choice of words irritating forgive my lack of language skill, english is not my mother language.

      @@roofkat thanks for the reply. I’ve indeed already tried those, well for the first “only put the cards on top of discard pile wether they r high or low” makes u think a bit more, and doesn’t make the game unbeatable, second “the cards that once went to discard pile can only used one more time” for this I put the used card crossed like the 9 last cards in the deck, will make u think more wether to put it in the discard pile to save or used it right away, this will make the game more thinkful, also I added a lil rule that if I used the aces as tricker cards I can revived them once more, spoiling myself here hehe😋. Finally the “u can put only the tricker cards in the discard pile” doesn’t go as good as the second rule, and if I used those 3 together it was a lil too hard for me, so I suggest only 1st and 2nd rule apply together here, and all these will make u use more card and consider what to use and what to keep I don’t know how to describe it so i suggest u try it and pls let me know how u think about it.

  • @kosterix123
    @kosterix123 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    5:10 9 diamonds is not higher than 9 of spades.
    So either you cheated or the rule should be "trigger card must not be lower".
    9:00 then your setup is incorrect - you should first remove the jokers and aces.
    In headcannon, Ace is discard all cards tied to a royal, and joker is move 1 card around to another royal AND trigger it. Must match suit of course.
    The "normal rules" of your game are pretty much in flux, i.e. everyone is tinkering with its own variation, and no one version has come on top.
    In your version for example you could come up with a distribution of 3 kings, which would limit your options a lot, or all 3 of a same suit. Then good luck finding a card of a matching suit in time.
    I dunno, these variants all lack tension.

    • @roofkat
      @roofkat  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Kosterix.
      At 5:10, I explain that the trigger card needs to be higher than at least one of the previously played cards. Because the cards laid down are a 4 and a 9, the value of the trigger card needs to be 5 or above.
      around 09:00 I explain that if you use a joker or ace in your combination, you cannot retain them in your discard pile, which is something you can do with other cards.
      If the video was not clear for you, perhaps the page I made here will make more sense: roofkat.itch.io/royalexecution

    How many jokers do you need in the game. Is it 4 or just 2?
    My deck has 4 jokers. If i separate the royals, the remaining deck will have 44 cards. Which means that if the deck is almost cleared i'll have 6 cards left on the deck because 44 isn't divisible to 3. Doesn't that mean that my very last hand will have 6 cards instead of 3? Or doesn't it mean that i only need 2 jokers so that the deck will have 42 instead of 44? Because 42 is divisible to 3.

    Nice game like the Joker jailbreaker, to make harder i think the buying could be like in klondike. You see the 3 cards but you have to use the first to use the second, and use de second to use the third. AND you ar forced to put the cards on the board if a move is possible, if isn't possible you put the card on de the reserv. like:
    On board:
    Q ♥ > 6 > none
    K ♠ > 10 > none
    K ♥ > none
    3 buyed:
    (first) As ♠
    (second) 9 ♣
    (third) 6 ♦
    - In this case, I'm forced to put the As on the K♥, because 1+6= 7 ande 1+10=11
    -then, the 9 i cant put on the 6 or 10
    - ending putting the 6 on the 6 ( if the 9 is on 10) or in the reserv (if the 9 is on 6)
