Welcome, Card Player
Udacha (oo-DAH-cha) is a Russian word meaning "Fortune," as in "good luck" or "to seek one's fortune."
Udacha is an original Expansible Card Game (ECG: the genre where you build your deck from the available card library before the game starts, but the variant where you don't buy cards in randomly organized booster packs).
While Udacha is a two-player competitive experience and you are trying to "win," the game portrays a story, like a complete fantasy novel, rather than a single violent clash.
What are some distinctive features of Udacha?
Rather than trying to kill your opponent, you are racing them to a victory condition: your Heroes must complete three "Quests" before your foe's Heroes do! But as they quest, they will learn dangerous Secrets about their foes, which may come back to bite them!
Rather than limiting your cards with "mana" or a similar resource, most cards can be played at any point in the game, but the most powerful cards are still a risk in deckbuilding, as they may indirectly slow down your "questing" process.
What's the plan for Udacha?
I want to eventually make multiple Editions of Udacha with various fantastic themes, but to start, I've focused on Anglinn, a fictional version of part of medieval England. Think of it as the Robin Hood story, if a witch and a dragon and their followers also set up camp in the nearby wilderness.
My goal is to make a digital version of Udacha: Anglinn playable on this site, accessible without limits to Patreon subscribers.
