Gameplay

In this game, the player will progress by playing cards, dragging them from their hand to a card slot in the main arena. This action will cost a certain amount of the player's resources, but may help them in some other way.

These cards may also be used to harm the opposing nation - your opponent - helping you reach your main goal: Getting the opponent's stability to 0. When either the player or the opponent reaches 0 Stability, the match will end.

Card Types

In Deck Of Civilization, you will maintain and protect your Civilization by playing a few card types, which contribute towards your victory in different ways. You may find:

• Politics Cards - Cards that help you manage or obtain resources that are crucial to the gameplay

• Attack Cards - Cards that harm your opponent by reducing their stability or removing some of their resources

• Trap Cards - Cards that reduce or retaliate an attack from your opponent

• Lucky Cards - Bonus Cards that cost nothing and reward you with some extra resources

• Disaster Cards - Important Card that prevents you from winning. Must be played to secure the win condition by choosing one of 3 options, each costing some of your resources

Platform

Currently available for:

• ​Windows PC

• MacOS

• Linux

Please follow the installation instructions below:

1. Windows PC

   1. Run the executable file (.exe) to start the game app. 

      1. Windows Defender might block it on some computers. If that's the case, click on "Run Anyway" to override the warning.

2. MacOS

   1. Extract the application file (.app) from the compressed file (.zip).

   2. Run the extracted file. By default, macOS's Gatekeeper will block the app due to a lack of notarization (This behavior is expected since I don't have an Apple Developer ID).  You can circumvent this by:

      1. Navigate to "System Preferences" / "Settings" and access the "Security & Privacy" section.

      2. In the "General" tab, you should see a warning: "Deck Of Civilization was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer".

      3. Click the button next to the warning, labeled "Open Anyway".

      4. Enter your password if you are prompted.

   3. IMPORTANT: You may need to repeat this process when there's a macOS update.

3. Linux

   1. Extract the application file from the compressed file (.zip).

   2. Run the extracted file.
