The Cardgame

[Guest]

Is it possible to make a cardgame with custom icons such as a red capsule, the KSP logo or the planet Kerbin and sell it via KSP Store? I would buy it.

I don't know if this suggestion should be there.

Hmm...

Starting 4 as the Aces. Kings, Queens, Jacks of every suit as planetary bodies. Mun/Minmus as the 2 Jokers.

Suits could be Red Capsule, Red Kerbal, Black Mainsail, Black Mun.

Ace of Capsules Jeb, Ace of Kerbals Val, Ace of Mainsails Bill, Ace of Muns Bob. Fits PERFECTLY.

This could be a thing that I would buy.

I would have said

Ace = Jebediah

King = Bob

Queen = Valentina

Jack = Bill

2 through 9 could be the 7 planets + the sun

The joker? I dunno, the KSP logo?

I know that leaves out the moons but, you could put the moons on the appropriate number cards with their planet.

Changing the suits is not a good idea, it makes it hard to follow. It should stick with Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs

Agreed, except the jokers could be easter eggs, maybe the magic boulder or something... and if number cards are to be astronomical bodies, we need nine bodies. How about 7 planets plus the Mun and Minmus?

Well, I wanted to be gender neutral on the matter. And KSP is more than the Kerbals, there is the rocketry to think of too. And I think having the starters as the four aces fits perfectly.

Ok, I may have misunderstood. I thought you wanted a standard 52 card deck with a KSP theme. You can't get away from Jack, Queen, King and Ace, unless you just wanted them decorative or you are building a custom card game like Uno. I certainly wouldn't want to play a card game where I had to relearn the hierarchy because they didn't use the normal card names. Look at other examples like, these, or these, or these.

I honestly think that The aces should be something like the starter 4 kerbals like I stated. Then something like the planetary bodies for K,Q,J (16 planets/moons without the sun.) Then something like Pods and Probe cores as 2-10 of Capsules. Kerbals of note (Gene Kerman, Werner-Von Kerman, etc.) as 2-10 Kerbal suit. Science experiments and notable science locations for the 2-10 Muns suit. And finally notable engines for the mainsail 2-10 suit.
