Brainstorm - Card Game

The task ist to design, formulate and refine a non-digital card based game system. I think the module is a great way to learn basic game-techniques. This are some random thoughts i wrote down.

I'd like to make a "grid-based" game. My initially thought was to make something with chain-reactions like in a puzzle game (Dr. Mario, Zuma).

• Goal: Grind opponents library
• Reinforcements: Combos
• Performance indicator: Combostreaks

Setup:

• Each player has a 5x2 grid of cards.
• Round-based
• At the beginning of a round, the players can switch cards.
• Cards function as "Attack-Cards" and simultaneously as "Power-Up", which can be sacrificed to activate them. The drawback, or respectively the cost, is the loss of the used card.
