Aldebaran (the Follower) is a duelling card game where you discover card synergies to beat enemy rulers between the moon's phases.
Compete against other rulers while protecting your own with cards playable during specific phases of the moon. Earn and spend Gold, your main resource, to play powerful cards against an enemy's tower or ruler. You can also shore up your defences or discard cards to accumulate resources. Victory relies on careful health and card management, picking the right risks, and a sprinkle of luck.
Aldebaran draws inspiration from the rich contributions to astronomy from ancient Arab astronomers, with every card named after Arabic star names assigned by the International Astronomical Union.
Here's how Aldebaran looks right now:
Extensive playtesting with the game on its 15th iteration after balance changes and additional improvements.
While early feedback has been positive, I'm still in the process of ironing out minor balance issues.
I will be looking for artists with experience in Arab-inspired illustrations for the cards.
I'm also seeking a publisher to help with marketing, producing, and distributing the card game.
