The Island of D2 is a free fantasy adventure card game:
This is my goal for this game:
a. “a ONE player fantasy adventure card game”
Still my favourite theme. This time I want to add the freedom of movement for more adventure feeling. Sadly I must drop the ‘role playing’ part of this game because I (still) can’t
combine the gameplay.
b. “No bookkeeping, no token, NO DICE, just you and the cards and an adventure.”
Yes, as compact as always ! And without the dice, I want to do something different. This idea has shown up before when I designed Island Of D, but couldn’t adjust it to the game.
Now, I make the game based on this idea (hand management)
c.“Not just luck factor, but a game about choices”.
Always the hardest part. Many people tell me that Island Of D is (still) a dice-fest, not enough strategy. Hmmm… I think I have made an improvement here, at least they can’t say
that IOD2 is a dicefest, because I use no dice hehehe Just kidding, folks, as always your feedback is a great welcome !
In my experience, IOD2 has more strategy and if you play well the winning percentage should be around 20%.
d.“Fun”
One of the hardest goal, and differ from one person to the other.
Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.
The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.
Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.

Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
Just kidding, folks, as always your feedback is a great welcome !
