Heart Power
This is a solitaire game that I initially developed with a physical deck of playing cards. I wanted to create something that could be quick to play, but have a tactical feel to it.
The Hearts of the People
You are the spirit of an oppressed population. You have come to recognize three distinct but interconnected pillars of oppression that you must resist.
- Authority (Clubs): with roots entwined in both religion and law, seeks to control our thoughts and actions.
- Work (Spades): entraps us by occupying our waking time and draining our energy.
- Money (Diamonds): the apex of the trinity, designed to divide us into winners and losers and think in zero-sum terms.
To play, push your Hearts to resist incoming cards from the three pillars. By matching or exceeding an enemy card's value, you remove it from play. Failing to do so means the enemy will become rooted in Culture, and thus harder to defeat.
Your Ace, King, Queen, and Jack are special cards; take note of their abilities when you draw them. They are key to resisting this three-way front.
Since a deck of cards only has 13 Heart cards in it, you will need to replenish your ranks. This means "spending" the defeated enemy cards using a card-matching mini game.
This is a development release, so please feel free to leave feedback and definitely let me know about any bugs you encounter!
