Too bad there aren't more people in the 21st century who care about sidescrolling shooters....
One of the disadvantages in being a developer from a country where there isn't much of a development community and not a lot of connection to the modern market for games, is that you may well spend a lot of time, money, and effort developing a highly-polished game in the style of games you love--and then discover that publishers elsewhere aren't all that interested in your title because, well, it is so retro.

Correctemundo. However, I hadn't considered equal value, maybe that exception should leave the choice to the player, so in that lucky instance they can choose the chain.
I haven't tried this game with sets of more than 12 cards. I bet with 24 or 32 cards it'd be crazy.
Robert: you were the anonymous on my blog? Cool. Yeah you can apply card counting to this, amazing how much depth you get from three mechanics.
