Post Description

I’ve been experimenting with a lightweight browser card game that runs instantly.

You can play it without logging in, but there’s an optional wallet connection (MetaMask) for saving progress and tying things together longer term.

The idea is to keep the barrier to entry as low as possible, while still supporting deeper identity/ownership if people want it.

It’s still early and a bit rough. The mechanics are simple, but the presentation leans into a glitchy / abstract style, which I’m not sure helps or hurts usability.

Curious what people think — especially around clarity, difficulty, and whether you’d come back to it.
