Book of Beasts

 
👀🔥🃏 Novel CCG rules explained - interactive workshop with gamedevsOct 21, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsDon't forget to get the game on Steam for free to play alongside this live workshop. With Book of Beasts we have created an indie collectible card game CCG that reimagines the rules a strategic card game can work with. We have added a shared game board with spatial features where both players place their cards drawn from their decks. However, this is pretty hard to understand for new players. We have received the feedback that we should redesign the onboarding sequence of the game with a more accessible, interactive tutorial. In this 1-hour workshop, we want to introduce the game, its rules and then show an interactive game tutorial that we have prototyped in Figma. We hope we can collaboratively create a better onboarding to give more players a chance to enjoy Book of Beasts.Book of Beasts starts 2021: leaderboards, avatars, world mapDec 31, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings summoners! We are excited to share what we are working on for our next releases of Book of Beasts. During the last weeks we have carefully collected your valuable feedback and have worked on concepts for the next features in Book of Beasts, which we will release over the course of the upcoming months of 2021. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38830435/b311d619bc8781a9129c9913a2428bf1d898d78b.png Avatars As a first step in customising your player experience you will be able to choose from a first set of summoner portraits that will become your avatar in battle. Of course this is just the beginning and we will add more summoners along our journey together. Introducing more characters will allow us to tell more about the world of Book of Beasts and its stories. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38830435/da63ec23447c774e049a110dade99fb77991f341.png World Map Talking about the world of Book of Beasts: we’re especially excited to start uncovering the land in which Book of Beasts takes place. In the game, it will be possible to battle new AI summoners and unlock them so you can choose their portrait as your own avatar. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38830435/2d491b563a4804b016458f14a28ce4fd5d23fe43.png Leaderboards A leaderboard to compare your experience with other summoners has been an early request. While we are collecting all wins in the background already, we have been working on a concept to show how you are doing in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38830435/220e9dfef6d9494fff0cbae909cccd94c3a096a2.png And of course we are working on many more improvements to make Book of Beasts a delight!

Book of Beasts, our forthcoming collectible card game, fuses board games with collectible card games and offers swift battles at its core. It's approachable for a wide audience, and then still hard to master if you want to really master the meta game and to shine at deck building. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38830435/e50642033123cb74e867f90e3ff33ed6cb215672.gif Different sophisticated decks Game designer Andi and e-sports pro Eduism discuss different card decks that the community and our game design wizards have put together. It's valuable that you listen to their experienced advice. Play-test decks against e-sports professional Eduism Then, we'll try out the decks in online games with the players that already have the time-limted demo installed. How was is inspired by tabletop games? “Book of Beasts” brings together the best of both worlds – of board games and collectible card games. In the game, collected cards become tiles on a shared battlefield so every card can be turned against you. This unique twist makes heavy use of the tabletop space on which visually striking Beast Cards are placed by connecting gems. Spell Cards modify game rules during battles and offer a strategic and tactical spin to more advanced players. Beast Cards and Spell Cards can be used in deck building to craft winning decks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38830435/3835f7a1d93bace00c8f77c3295de65cc1fe8abf.gif #DigitalTabletopFest👹 🔴 Beat the Devs — exclusive live demo with "Book of Beasts"Oct 2, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGet the demo for a limited time during the festival only and challenge us, the makers of the game.

You are only permitted a maximum of 2 of each card in your deck. Find out how you can make your deck even better with new cards. Each type of Gem (Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Spirit) has different advantages. Combine them with matching Turn Spells and Battle Spells for maximum points. Balance: The relationship between Beast Cards and Spell Cards is crucial to your strategy. Experiment and find the right balance for your strategy. STRATEGIES BLOCKING: Block your opponents from forming combinations by using the blank edges on your Beast Cards. This prevents your opponents from making high-scoring Beast Card connections. MANA POOLS: Mana Pools can be unlocked when they are placed smartly. But be careful – your opponent can also unlock them! OPPONENT’S HAND: Become a true Book of Beasts master by analysing and taking into account the opponent’s cards in your own turn.
