Show HN: Faction Fiasco – single-player card battler, 100 unhinged characters

2•arowe•1h ago

Built this solo over the past year. You build a deck from 100+ cards - Karen-zilla, Nigerian Scamurai, Dumpster Fire Angel, Florida Man - and fight AI opponents across a 3-episode campaign.

Can't die from low player count. Free account required to play.

Stack: Laravel + Vue 3 + TypeScript.

Would love feedback on whether the first game makes sense without hand-holding.

Bleh AI card art. One of the best part of card games is the ability to showcase high quality illustrators.

Thank you for the feedback. Long-term I'd like to able to hire designers, but for demo purposes it wasn't feasible.

Does not work on DDG+Android, never get past the "please install" screen with Chrome and Safari prompts

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. I hadn't tried on DDG yet, and the PWA is a bit of a stop-gap until it becomes an actual app.
