Torah Timeline - a Torah Card Game
DISCLAIMER: The web version technically works but it takes a few seconds to load and is a bit laggy. Download on Windows/Mac for a better experience.
This is a prototype - feedback welcome.
Objective - Have the majority of Sages in the Timeline once it's full.
Setup - You vs AI. Shared deck. Each player starts with 3 cards.
- A Sage card is a card depicting a figure from one of these eras: Tanna, Amora, Gaon, Rishon, or Acharon.
- Tanach cards contain special actions
Each player has a Beit Midrash grid (3 slots). The Timeline grid (5 slots) is shared by both you and the AI. Each Timeline slot is for one of each of the above-mentioned eras
Game Loop - Each turn you perform 2 Actions. Actions are one of:
- Place a card in the Timeline
- Place a Sage card on the Beit Midrash (BM)
- Challenge an opponent's card
- Replace a Timeline card
- Play a Tanach card
- Draw a card
Place Sage cards in the Beit Midrash (up to 3). Each Sage in your BM gives you 1 Torah Token per turn.
You can use one of your own Sage cards (from your hand or in the BM) to "challenge" an opponent's Sage card in their BM. The card with higher era value, shown by the number of the bottom of the card, gives the card owner tokens.
For example, if a Tanna challenges another Tanna, it's a draw, and no tokens are awarded. If a Tanna challenges an Amora, the player with the Tanna wins, and is awarded 1 Torah token. (5 - 4 = 1)
In all cases, both cards are put in the discard pile after a challenge is complete.
You can replace an AI card in the Timeline if your Beit Midrash has 3 cards in it and one of those cards matches the era of the card you want to replace. Click a card in your Beit Midrash to see if the Timeline option is available, and you can use that card to replace the AI's card in the Timeline.
Click a Tanach card to use it. Nothing will happen if you cannot play the card.
Click the deck to draw a card. Once all cards are drawn from the deck, the Olam Haba (discard) pile is shuffled and becomes the new deck.
