Temerity Card Game

Been a while since I posted.

Continuing from the last post: It was very challenging to get people to look at my algorithm considering the industry (in crypto) is saturated with scams. I eventually got an opportunity to pitch the algorithm with a front end that I developed. It broadcasted signals in real time. I wrote a script to take the results from my local machine and send them to a remote server. It then processed them and displayed the results live with charts and gauges.

The firm hired me but unfortunately ran into financial difficulties and we both politely parted ways. I learnt a lot, but since 2016 I have been mostly focusing on card games. Well mostly different mechanics and experimenting with everything.

On March 2019 I decided to finally go for it and reset back to a blank of piece of paper to work on a card game. I think this is all I wish to do now, card games/board games.. I have a huge passion for strategy games. Although trading was a big part of my life I really enjoy creating. As a kid I used to make games and so on.

Last month I finished the card game. It took me 14 months.

The game is called Temerity and it is a structured deck of 90 cards. There are only 5 characters in the deck. They each have a rank 1 to 4 (a couple of rank 5s) and each belong to an element (or they are a repeater card).

I wanted to make a game that was just about strategy. It's a quick game, lasting about 3 to 9 turns each. You play cards in your hand and the objective is to destroy the remaining card(s) in your opponent's hand. So your cards are your life too.

I'll post some more later though.
