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:

Pixel art of a rabbit, a capybara, a fox and an armadillo dressed as gauchos, playing cards around a wooden table at sunset. Glowing card slots line the table and a die is mid-roll in the middle. Behind them, a dirt road leaves the countryside, with horses and a windmill, and turns into a city street with old buildings and lamps.

@noodles Thanks, that's exactly the kind of feedback we need. There is a guided first match: pick a deck, play the bot, and it walks you through the first turn. There's also a "How to play, 1 min" button on the side of the table. But you're right, none of that is visible from the main menu, so we'll add it there. Where were you when you started looking for it?

    I found the "How to play" button a couple rounds in. I didn't notice "Choose deck and opponent" until after I started a quick match, then I tried story mode, switched to a computer instead of mobile, won a round in story mode.

    A couple more notes: -On mobile with a full field, some of the card information seems to get covered up. -Also on mobile, the 'x' button to get out of the collections tab doesn't seem to work. On computer UI generally seems better and fully functional so far.

    There is also a lot of residual Spanish in the English version of the game. I'm a bit torn on this--I think for card names it's cool and keeps everything appropriately Uruguayan-themed, but for things like the card flavor in the 'collections' menu it might be better translated. So far I've only found actual game-rule text in Spanish in the "Truco Cimarron" section, which seems to be a different game anyway. Also, a fair amount of the 'story' text seems to be idiomatic and isn't translated very well to English. It is technically correct but doesn't make a lot of sense; I switched to Spanish and it was a lot more understandable.
