    I had this on in the background while I was making lunch in the kitchen, and I actually thought, "the mad man, he's finally learning how to count".

    This reminds me of a very similar game, Solitairica, a rougelike that came out in 2016 that was actually really good, but never got any attention. If anybody here tries this game and enjoys the RPG solitaire thing, then I'd highly recommend checking Solitairica out too.

    Man this feels like a different take on Solitairica, a game that I truly enjoyed. I actually think Solitairica looked better and felt cleaner and more streamlined/familiar. That said, this is 100% a game I need and will fit in just fine in my collection. Thanks for the video, my dude!

      The base mechanic is called "golf solitaire" and we adapted it into this combat form with the addition of extra cards and charging up your actions with the playing cards and the ability to manipulate the tableau with your active abilities.

    What was the mushroom boar creature called? The cam covered it up. Just curious. Oknm. "Fungal Boar". You can see it whenever they resolve an attack.
    Don't know how I feel about his "deathmetalrocks" pose whenever he casts Iron Skin. Like it was a holdover from a grittier game they wanted to make, but scrapped.

    Is it just me or is NL trending toward not paying attention to what he's doing in games? There's a lot less attention being paid to what's going on and prioritizing just _doing something_. I think this is fine in a gameplay context, but in a "tries", it seems like it'd be more beneficial to extract some of the underlying information?
    But I guess it's irrelevant on any Steam game since you get 2 hours to refund it vs a 30 minute try, but not even stopping to read something and going from "in normal, heath persists in chapters" to "health persists in difficult chapters" just seems like going way too fast.
    It's gone from "are you colorblind" in Streets of Rogue, to "I don't care about fake lore", to just a demonstrated lack of interest in taking half a second.
