Hello World! Over the past two months weve been working on an head-to-head card game thats best described as Blackjack meets Scrabble. It mixes Blackjack rules with a crossword game board. Were a small team of two, based in South Australia and have been collaborating with a Game Designer in Berlin. Were super excited to announce that the game will be launching on the 21st of December. Please check out the screenshots below and let us know what you think. Stay tuned for updates on Rise Games and Blackjack Buddies - e.g. links to social media pages and video trailer coming soon. Cheers, Phil, Ben and Antti Description -------------------- Blackjack Buddies is a completely new way to play the classic game of Blackjack with your friends over iMessage. Play with friends, family or other fools to find out who is the smartest. Make epic combos with blackjacks all across the board to score amazing points. ***** Blackjack Buddies Highlights ***** Play over iMessage - easy to challenge friends Innovative take on a classic game - combining best parts of blackjack and crossword Make a 21 in any direction - connect and build on existing cards on the board Use more cards to make a 21 to score higher points - a challenge even for the most experienced players Plan your moves well to score combos and to hit 2X multiplier for suited blackjacks Swap up to 5 cards to gamble for the big win! Hot seat multiplayer built into the app - play the game with anyone in the local pass-and-play mode.
Thanks! The game also comes with a Pass n' Play mode that you can play outside of iMessage as a regular game. In a future update we'll introduce the ability to challenge other players within the main app, similar to games like Words with Friends.
