I managed to bumble through importing a tarot deck into the game but once I get into the multiplayer screen it's all too unclear how this is supposed to work. I was hoping for something where I would be able to specify the rules of the game so that gameplay could be automated somewhat. How to set that up is sort of unclear. Maybe looking at what other people did for their custom games might shed some light on the situation, but the crash course for custom games didn't talk at all about how rules worked. Still, it's a lot easier to get a deck of cards into this than it is in Tabletop Simulator, so that's something at least.2 found this helpful
"Card Game Simulator" is not strictly a game in itself. Instead of being a game, "Card Game Simulator" is a software application that works more like a construction kit for making card games that you could then possibly, theoretically play with this... maybe. The key problem is that this is trying to solve a problem that doesn't really exist. Also, an "anything goes" card game builder like this is a massively complex undertaking and the resultant quality of this attempt is underwhelming, with elements that almost look like they came out of Windows 95. It's clunky, with no automation or anything, importing your own cards takes a ridiculous amount of time. It's just not worth all the bother. As a construction kit more than a game, it's more appropriate to see this as a software app. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 mi…1 found this helpful

Great Game but look at that kitty, whoever pass by can pet it and give it a thumbs up. Have a nice day :3 ／＞ フ | _ _ l ／` ミ＿xノ / | / ヽ ﾉ │ | | | ／￣| | | | | (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__)
I wish I could give a neutral rating. Card Game Simulator is objectively bad at what it sets out to do compared to other card game simulators and as such I could not get it to do very basic things I needed from it. It also had really poor controls and dynamics, at least the last time I booted it up. It could have changed by now. However, it is infinitely cheaper given that it is free and is clearly a labour of love from the probably lone developer who tirelessly updates and improves upon this simulator. The progress made since day 1 cannot be understated and I have no doubt that one day, perhaps years from now, this will be a viable alternative to the leading card game simulators. I can't rightly reccomend this simulator in its current state to anyone, but I have immense respect for the dedication of the developer to sticking to this project even when it would be so much easier to give up.
Great Sim
