I have been developing homebrew rules and additions with a physical version of this game at work with some coworkers for the past 3 days since I watched Riffle Shuffle & Roll's [Video]... And have been interested in maybe creating a full Belatro-style sim to play within as I LOVE the physicality of the game irl and the way Belatro translates that physicality into the virtual medium is great. But this version of the game you have here really showed me the fun of having it be snappy and fast when it comes to gameplay loop.
Fun fact, Ive been collecting decks of cards since high-school,... stacking up more than 30 various collected decks, the added face cards and other mechanics have been really fun when I can implement them so clearly and easily with different color or styled cards haha.
So I must ask, why are Aces LOW in this version of the game when they are supposed to be of the highest rank (14) according to the official rules of the game?
Hey there! This was a really fun idea for a game. I came across it from the YouTube channel “Riffle Shuffle & Roll” and upon further searching landed here on your itch.io page. I’m a hobbyist game developer in my free time and think it would be a lot of fun to try implementing my own version and maybe even add some tweaks along the way. Is that something you would be okay with?

This is pretty cool! Did the creators of the game just invent the rules, or did they also make a game? The Train Jam sounds super fun.
Im so happy I found this!

I actually also heard from this game on the Riffle Shuffle channel. I immediately fell in love with it and just released my Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.klemensforster.rascalsgambit

Because I messed up the implementation. Or maybe I wanted to make an easy mode?
(I definetely messed up the implementation)

Would you like to chat and maybe work together on something? My username is the same on discord.
Is there any way to download this game? There seems to be no equivalent to it listed on Steam.
I made this game in 2012 when I finished highschool. That’s 13 years ago! I am now a full time game developer, I’ve been for the last 8+ years!
I could remake this… I don’t promise anything, but I will try 😅
If this cost like 10$ I'd buy it 999%.
You can get it for less than 2$ on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.klemensforster.rascalsgambit
That would be awesome. I'd be willing to financially support the final product if it ever comes to pass.
I've just completed my version of it for Android. Other platforms planned. Support is very much appreciated: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.klemensforster.rascalsgambit
Just bought it and tried it. I love it!!!
Thank you so much 😍
That's incredible feedback!
Android would be cool, would be a good fit.
Totally agree, I'd happily pay a few bucks for a no-BS, offline Android version.
Actually, a couple bucks. Check out my version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.klemensforster.rascalsgambit
Legend, thanks! Perhaps a couple of freedom bucks, but that's a "few" dollaridoos ;) regardless, a fair price that I've just paid - thanks a lot!
Done: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.klemensforster.rascalsgambit
Nice, ima buy this soon. Just need to rack up another 20 Playstore Points to get 1€ off, currently at 80.
Looking forward to hearing your feedback, once you had the chance to try it!
That would be absolutely awesome!
Been obsessed with playing this game. Unfortunately sometimes hearts don't heal you for some reason.
Still, it was the best version I could find. I'd love to have a mobile app of this.
Base rules, you can only heal from 1 source of hearts per room, you can try and sneak the heart into the next room if you can leave it for last.
I see, thanks for the explanation :)
This is really cool.
Bug report: I know I shouldn’t do that, but the game hangs when I runs from the last room.
Would love to get this as an android game!
You can! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.klemensforster.rascalsgambit
Ah, so you've modified the rules. In your version, Ace is worth 1 rather than 14.
Hmm... they wrote "e.g.", so maybe that wasn't a hard requirement after all.
