Egyptian Ratslap - Card Game

⠀

"Egyptian Ratslap - Card Game" is the PC version of the card game nobody ever asked for. And, bonus points, the "developer" accidentally uploaded one of his homework videos to the Steam marketing page instead of a gameplay video. Funny, but irrelevant to the game. At least we know what the developer thinks about revolution era US political positions. What do you do in the game? Ratslap is, I guess you should think of this as a much more complicated version of the card matching game, "Snap". In Snap, all you do is turn cards over, look for a pair, then slap the cards. Ratslap is much more complex... the game plays out the same way, turning over cards. The objective is to win all the cards in the deck. The big differences are two concurrent goal states... the most obvious being the same "Snap" mechanic where you look for doubles, but there's also combos like "sandwich" where you get a pair, but with a different card in the middle, and so on. The second goal condition in play is when a face card turns over, this becomes a challenge for the next player who has to also turn over a face card or they lose (and the player who played the face card wins the pile)... of course if t…

Egyptian Ratslap - Card Game is an absolute gem for card game enthusiasts and casual gamers alike. The game masterfully combines the thrill of slap jack with additional rules that add layers of strategy and excitement. The user interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for new players to jump right in and start having fun. The graphics, though simple, are charming and functional, providing a nostalgic feel reminiscent of traditional card games played on a wooden table. One of the standout features is the game's pacing. Matches are quick yet intensely engaging, perfect for both short play sessions and longer gaming marathons. The slap mechanism is particularly satisfying, providing a rush of adrenaline every time you successfully slap a pile. In terms of replayability, Egyptian Ratslap excels. The variability in game outcomes keeps each match fresh and challenging. Whether you're playing against AI or with friends, the game maintains a high level of enjoyment. Overall, this game is a must-have for anyone looking to enjoy a classic card game with a modern twist. Highly recommended!

After playing the game for 7 minutes, I am definitely on team Jefferson!

I find it awesome that you released your game. You've taken a larger step than most are capable of doing. On to the gripes. 1. Fullscreen/Resolution options are a must. I may be more visually challenged than most, but having to squint real close at the screen to see the cards really hurts the accessibility of your game. 2. Having to move my mouse from one SMALL BUTTON to the other (across the screen) is pretty jarring. Especially for a reaction-based game like ERS. 3. I think you shouldn't have the cards in the pile be placed perfectly on top of each other. Counting the opponents' cards is one thing, but having to keep perfect memory of the cards being placed in the pile is a bit too much to keep track of. I'd say you should create an offset that shows the 4 players' cards being played from their perspective so you could at least partially see the last for cards that were played. 4. I didn't like having to wait my turn to play my card (not a very important critique, but more of a meta thing). When I'd play this card game IRL with my friends, if you played out of turn, your card was burned. But here is the nuance to being able to play whenever you want, you can actually play a car…
