Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I'm actually developing a card-based game like Clash Royale for android, and I'm actually struggled because I don't know how many cards I should design, what do u guys think would be an optimal number of cards to design ?

Thank you…

Danko

Not a Writing question. Moving thread to the Game Design forum.

So 42 is the answer. It always is.

True. It is the answer to The Question (life, the universe, and everything).

Regular playing card decks have 52 (not including any optional jokers/wild cards), and tarot decks have 78 cards.

Play testing. Lots of play testing. Or you can just go for 42. It works every time.
