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…

From wikipedia:

“Clash Royale first launched with 42 cards, there were 14 cards for each of the three rarities that existed at that time: Common, Rare, and Epic.”

So 42 is the answer. It always is.

@undefined thank you very much ?

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

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.
