I don't think y'all understand how hyped I am for this game. It's been two years building and testing, and I think we've created a killer campaign. If you enjoy... Tarot Magic the Gathering TTRPGs Or all of the above, The Beckoning Dream is gonna melt your face off.

It was such a pleasure working w Dylan on his episode. He's a natural CfB writer, I'd love to see more of his work in the hobby.

Dueling! It's the bread and butter of conflict resolution in the world of Ritual Deck. Someone in your face? Duel them. Someone hiding something from you? Duel them. I knew I wanted dueling to be one of the primary actions a player could do in my game, or else how could I call it a Yu-Gi-Oh game?

So, that meant duels had to be quick and engaging. My solution was that duels would be focused on a single card versus a single card and the winner is whoever was stronger (or a successful die roll haha). This also gave a higher level of creative freedom in actually building the card!

Anyhow, this Wednesday, I'll be on stream with Tony going through Dueling and a few of the other cool mechanics in Ritual Deck. There's a lot more to discuss!!

Of course that presented a problem. Dueling is something that is a one versus one kinda deal, and I wanted my game to have more than two players. What would everyone else do while dueling? I did NOT want to have the "let's just scroll until it's my turn" problem that's in other games...

I also didn't want a single duel to take up the entire session. Games of Yu-Gi-Oh can take a bit! The game is certainly inspired by anime, but I didn't need whole sessions devoted to charging the spirit bomb, so to speak.
