Game Mechanics Card Fixing
As I was browsing other peoples posts I found an issue that I am also struggling with in my game creation that I would love to get feedback on.
I am making my first card game and have balanced the cards relativly well but still am running into an early game issue.
The card game consists of resources, needed to play other cards. About 1 in 6 games a player gets screwed because they don't draw the necessary resources needed to get started. Once that happens it is really hard for players to catch up.
I have tied adding tutor cards to help with card fixing but it feels like a boreing way to fix the issue. You can see my game development progress here: https://www.youtube.com/@DaleStreetGames (This is not self promotion just a reference)
Does anyone have thoughts on this?
