    Nice job. When I was a kid, we tried to merge our two favorite things: Magic: The Gathering and chess, combined into one ridiculous hybrid game. It takes a game that’s normally one of perfect information and adds in the indeterminism of the random draw, which makes for a nice change of pace.

    Cool project! I used to work with a guy who played serious chess and he knew all these fun variants—we would always try to come up with even whackier ones. Adding action cards mid-game definitely takes the cake for chaos, though!
