Hi! We’re YUNQUE Games, a tiny studio from Uruguay, looking for our first players and playtesters.

Naipe Cimarrón is a free strategy card game where Uruguayan wildlife fights over territory, from the countryside to the city. Pick a people (rabbits that multiply, capybaras that improvise, foxes that strike, armadillos that endure), gather Vigor and fight for a six-slot table.

In your browser, nothing to install:

    I’m adding this as a separate comment, but I do have to agree with some of the other commenters that there is a lot of AI trash in the game right now. I know it’s an alpha version and you are a small studio, and personally I think it’s fair to leverage it to get a working prototype up, but I think replacing the AI assets/code wherever they’re used needs to be the priority as a next step for the game.

    The game play loop is interesting and the theme is really cool and unique so if you can transition to real art instead of AI I think the project has legs, good luck!

      @noodles Fair point, and thanks for saying it straight after actually playing. The AI art got us to a playable prototype with no budget; replacing it with real art is on our roadmap as the project grows. Glad the loop and the theme landed for you.

        Take a pencil and paper, and you have free art in 5 minutes.

        The excuse of using AI for prototyping is just like the “art” you used: worthless.

            Most people can doodle. A doodle, no matter how bad it is, is better than “AI” slop.

            But keep on defending crap, that’s a very smart stance.

              Keep pretending there’s only one truth and that everything you consider simple is simple to others. Doesn’t come off pretentious at all. You sound very smart indeed.

                I am pretty sure that most people either have the ability to doodle, or know someone who does.

                You’re just not having a point anymore but you want to keep on arguing for your ego’s sake.
