The Hands of the Devil

The idea for this game is to create a game that is a mix between physical and digital gameplay. Two players will fight it out in a card fighting game where you need to strategically select the right card to beat the opponent. Both players do not know what card the other player has selected until they have both locked in their decision. The player with the highest scoring card will win the round. To win the game one player must have three wins in one of the three different categories or three of the same color in one category.

The players will each draw 5 cards from the deck and must not show the other player. They will pick one of these 5 cards to play by placing it on the card scanner. Once placed onto the scanner the game will reveal both players' cards digitally and will decide which player has won based on the category or strength. Once a winner of the round has been decided both players must place that card onto the discard pile and pick one new card from the deck so both players have 5 cards again.

This game will be developed using  Unreal Engine 5 as it will provide me with the newest features. I will also be using software called NFC Tools/ NFC Tools KBC so I can get the data from the physical cards into the game. My main focus will be on creating the game mechanics and then later on improving the art for the game. I will also focus on creating all the physical equipment as it will be important for playtests.
