Cardly: Shuffle Star
The browser version is just a demo. Please download the full game below.
Install Addons in the customisation menu. You must then win them in a Wager game.
Shuffle Star
A mini tarot-like game where you and Cardly build your hands and see what fortune Cardly delivers. Play for fun, or interpret your cards as a playful divination spread.
Gameplay
First, you will build a hand for yourself and give cards to Cardly, creating a mini “Cardly spread.”
- Draw 3 cards from the deck.
- Look at one of these cards. You may choose to keep it or discard it back into the deck.
- Give one of the other 2 hidden cards to Cardly (face-down).
- Shuffle any remaining cards back into the draw pile.
- Repeat until only 2 cards remain. Give 1 card to yourself and 1 card to Cardly.
Rules:
- You cannot give the card you looked at to Cardly.
- If you see the same card twice while drawing, you must keep it.
- By the end, you and Cardly each have 4 cards.
Cardly’s Effect
Smile (Joker): Swap the top cards from both hands.
Blank (Jack): Discard the top card from your hand.
Star (King): Lucky Day! Reveal one hidden card from each hand. Choose whether to swap them or not.
Retrograde (Queen): The stars weren’t aligned. Restart the deal.
Any Suit: This card becomes part of your hand.
