It might not be much in the scheme of things, but for a game that I released for free and have done absolutely zero marketing for and has spread simply from word of mouth, I'm pretty flattered to see the 1000th download. (This doesn't account for sharing between people or other sites like BGG.)

Absolutely honoured to have received the "Best Analogue Game Runner Up" award for Battle of Tarot at the IMIRT Irish Game Awards this Friday at the FÍS Games Summit.

It means so much that this card game that came to me in a dream a couple years ago has actually grabbed people's attention.

If you haven't played it yet, you can download the ruleset for free at battleoftarot.com

Learning a new program! This time it's Spine!

Still just getting started with some tutorials on how to set everything up, but looking forward to animating one of the characters for Battle of Tarot.

I finally got around to putting together a Learn to Play video for BATTLE of TAROT.

Video is 5 min and breaks down the basics of how to play the tarot-based card battler for 2 players.

You can pick up the rulebook for free over at battleoftarot(dot)com.

It's not final art, but just wanted to share the Battle of Tarot key art sketch I was able to squeeze into my schedule the past couple days for a pitch deck.

I'm getting really excited to make this game!

Battle of Tarot: The Tower Falls key art. A person with bindle stares away from the viewer and looks up at a tall medieval tower. A mob has gathered in front of it with torches, pitchforks, and spears. Behind the tower a collage of 3 characters can be seen. A person resembling the tarot's Magician archetype, a man in armour holding a sword on his shoulder, and a large profile of a menacing looking king.

With only word of mouth, my card game Battle of Tarot is on the way to 1000 downloads. That may not be much in the scheme of things, but it makes me happy that people enjoy it enough to share with people they know.
