Stumbling onto this 3 years later, but I love it. I've been designing games lately with the standard deck constraint, and I hadn't heard of most of these. Thanks!

[@highpineapple]

About time someone showed me the actual way to play scoundrel. You, sir, have earned a sub.

[@VeselkoKelava]

You have my thanks 😁

[@Bsnsobscuregames]

Great... now my list of things to try grows ever longer...

[@VeselkoKelava]

Yeah, you should do something about that 😁

[@BladedEdge123]

Interesting lists and a good backup for travel purposes. I am always a fan of games what can be played in the backseat of a car.

[@RolandTemplar]

Never expected that Cards could have more uses

[@mute_cebu_]

These recommendations are so good and timely. I was looking up solitaire card game and wanted more info on Shooting Party, but your video popped up and gave me so many more ideas!

Merry Christmas

[@bernardokp]

Great video Veselko, thanks for doing it. Comments:
1) A playthrough of Portia etc would be great!
2) In Shooting party, you got to remove 6 to 10
3) Other great games: Bowling Solitaire and The Bogey

[@demeyahu231]

Wow! This is literally what i was looking for. Thank you very very much Veselko!
Would you please review other combat/rpg games that are played with standard playing cards? (eg combat games listed at pagat)

[@VeselkoKelava]

Well, I can't make any promises, but I'll have a look 👍

[@urielalbertosanchezm]

Now I can use my Zombie poker cards to play a dungeon yei!!!!

[@bassistomaster]

Scroundle is similar to the game card crawl (or the game was inspired by the card)

[@smchalk3535]

Thanks!

[@satorii1]

I am kinda confused with the 3rd game, how does the 7 of diamonds have zombies if it matches 5 of diamonds?

[@RolandTemplar]

Can u make a second part plz?

[@arjexerjex4286]

What is the benefit for the run action and what do you do if you strike the Titan?

[@VeselkoKelava]

Run let's you do another action in the same turn. When you strike, you put a marker on that spot, then draw 8 cards from titan's deck and remove the highest 4 from the game. Continue playing as normal. If you strike all 3 spots, you win.

[@Beanmachine91]

draw a joker in scounderal and base results on even and odd depending on the d20 roll.

[@kaiserrat70]

The first game confuses me, each weapon is ATTATCHED to the monster? When you had a 4 and there was a 4+3 wouldnt you have lost 3 health?

[@VeselkoKelava]

no, the weapon was 4 and the monster is 3, so no damage as long as the monster is lower than weapon. I had a 4 monster monster on the weapon already, but that monster is already killed, so it does no damage. You only keep it on the weapon, because each new monster you fight has to be lower. So with a 4 and 3 monsters on the weapon, I can only fight monster lower than 3. But if I fight a 2 monster, I wouldn't get any damage, either.

[@kaiserrat70]

@@VeselkoKelava Another question, you had a 3 on the 4 no damage I get that but you had to take that 6 if you REALLY wanted to keep the potion so why fight it bare handed when you couldve used the weapon

[@VeselkoKelava]

@@kaiserrat70 you can't use the weapon. If you put a monster on the weapon, then you can only fight a lower monster. I can fight a 2, but 6 has to be barehanded.

[@archangle1172]

I was trying to find more information on 4 the one called zapinac can anyone help me

[@arjexerjex4286]

What is glory for ?

[@VeselkoKelava]

It's just a score, you don't really need it, but sometimes you can use it to get rid of a low card

[@ganimedes1046]

The first game Is called Donsol and you find more about the original rules on TH-cam

[@VeselkoKelava]

No, the first game is Scoundrel. It came out two years before Donsol.

[@ganimedes1046]

@@VeselkoKelava wow, that makes sense. Sorry for that

[@worab1]

[@jutscrowned5222]

is this a joke.. Your trying to use a deck of cards by playing trading card games.. This isn't Yugioh or Pokemon... and you didn't even put solitare.... waste of time

[@VeselkoKelava]

How sad
