I've been working on an art project for a number of months, and finally finished it up this weekend.
It's a deck of illustrated cards, using colors instead of suits, and "tangle familes" instead of numbers/ranks. Including a picture of the full set here, but linking to a query on my site that will show them all.
Another in my #52cards series, still in my greens.
For anyone interested, the pre-alpha of digital #Crowns is now playable! With both multiplayer matchmaking and playing vs CPU. Much easier to try and learn the mechanics that way!
Note: It's experiencing several updates a day (and bugs) while we're adding new functions and features, so sometimes it might not work for a few minutes or an hour or so.

#Crowns web version slowly getting functional. the queen is bugging out but once sorted we'll move on to adding multiplayer so we can do some actual live testing! 😁

new card backs! the card backs were my biggest frustration. finally managed to actually visualize my idea in a meaningful way!

Changing name of my game from #Crowns to #TinnyWar - changing the color theme from red/black to white/black. Changing the style to minimalist. Added suits back to the cards.
It will now come in a tin mint box instead of a tuck box. Hence the Tinny.
Rules were updated a few days ago changing Ace to be almost like it was but with a slight but powerful modification.

trying a new design. leaning into scifi instead of medieval style.
opinion? though?

a new prototype arrived of my game! still a few fixes needed like fixing the bleed and adding a 2-player icon, and updating the url. but otherwise i'm pretty happy with it!
