Gamble Rumble

Trick your opponents with mind game strategy in this fast-paced card game!

Origins of the project

Gamble Rumble is a student project made at ISART DIGITAL with the help of 5 game designers and 3 gameplay programmers. The goal of the project is to make a free-to-play mobile game including in-game purchases. As game designers, we had to present a viable economic system and monetize some of our game mechanics through microtransactions.

Concept of the game

After a long brainstorming, we finally decide to make a multiplayer fast-paced battling card game.

It is a game where the player only has two cards in his hand: an attack card and a defense card. You can play both of them. A card attack will attack your opponent. If nothing is blocking your attack card, you will earn a number of coins equivalent to the number displayed on the card. This number represents the power of the card. Defense cards can block any attack card, no matter how powerful the attack card can be. With each turn, both players have to play their two cards on a 3×3 grid board. It is a game about guessing the actions of your opponent and trying to counter his cards.

On the board, there are also powerups appearing randomly on a card slot called stands. These stands are bonus effects that can be mixed with the appropriate card. They can improve your card’s power, make you earn more money, or switch your card’s type…

Last but not least, you can reroll your cards and your stands with the money you collect. But be cautious, to win the game, you have to finish it with more coins than your opponent. Spending your coins for rerolls is a risky strategy!
