There once was a beautiful princess, all alone in a castle in the clouds.

So! For anyone who cares! My playable demo has been tested a few times with small groups.

Mostly 1-1, we got in a 3 person group and one of 4 too.

The core mechanics are super solid! The only thing I’m worried about now is the win condition being too loose and not rewarding enough?

As it is, you save up 100 candies to get to the boss, then fight and you win!

But is that good enough?

I’ve got a concept for the cards themselves too but it’s a massive amount of art so it’s quite an undertaking… idk how I expect to do this all…

Sorry for my long testing notes, I’m just deep in dev mode and need an outlet sometimes

I really hope this ends up being good

RGB updates

I ran into a semi-major issue in testing where the tank and mage decks are both stronger than the fighter deck. Bunny’s special ability just doesn’t work the way I intended it to, so I need to rework it.

Kalani (mage deck) the other hand works *too* well and creates an infinite loop that I need to patch out.

I guess this is why we test! Going to do some edits and print a new copy✨

Update for Racquelle’s costume!

And a concept for her out of transformation.

Her necklace is a present from her two gay vampire dads. She isn’t a vampire, but is a practicing carnivore and has the option to convert at any time if she chooses.

These are some images from my other Tomboy Witch Twilight Marie (おてんば魔女トワイライトマリー) paper doll book.

Messing with Kalani’s costume. Originally liked the pants idea but now I think it’s a bit too plain.

Her civilian form will wear pants instead. This is perfectly modest imo.

I need to redo her deck a bit though since her time twister-esque ability is way overpowered 😭

Civilian concepts for Bunny and Freia and an updated concept for Freia’s design.

Concept for Ishika out of her Magical girl transformation.

When you hit 0 health or bellow in game you de-transform and wait a turn to heal. If the whole team is out at once you lose.

Ideally the player cards would have these civilian forms on the opposite side to illustrate that!

Prelim testing went well so I’m gonna focus more on art!

Thank you everyone for the likes and kind words! 💕

Magical girl club deck building card game concepts thus far

RGB - Freia (formerly Frieda), Bunny, and Kalani

The ranger, fighter, and mage decks

MYK - Ishika (formerly China), Racquelle, and Josie

The Cleric, Tank, and Bard decks

I didn’t expect to make their outfits so distinct originally but they developed personalities and backgrounds as I went.

Enemy card concepts: water, fire, and wood

The Neo Holy British Empire, who cried a river to drown the whole world in a bid to recolonize.

Atomic Fire Sauce Number 7, a hot sauce rumored to be made from the fruit of the tree of life. It packs quite a punch- and kick!

Zombie Delinquents, a local gang who discovered the secret to eternal life. They spend most of their time stapling each other back together… but learning to fight would probably be a better investment right?
