Oh.. that's sound nice.
Gooseka, Chokkinna, and Parplin (plus Janken the Great) to Alex could be like Master Shifu, Master Tigress, Master Viper,etc to Po in Kung Fu Panda.
I was also going to make Gooseka, Chokkinna, and Parplin into anthro animals. Gooseka was going to be a bulldog given his rugged face looks like a fist, Chokkinna were to be a rabbit, her ears being like two fingers upwards and her hair styled like the other two fingers and thumb and I think I was going to make Parplin a parrot, whose plumage being like five fingers.
There are so many type of card plays.
May be one or two of them could be incorporated to Alex Kidd's lore.
I know that rock-paper-scissors is one that Alex Kidd's famous tropes but that dosen't mean we have to limit the games around that.
I was sort of inspired by
Triple Triad but what I have in mind is a lot different to it.
I wanted to give the impression of going into a saloon with lots of sordid sorts looking at you and playing cards with tough guys. A card game that requires strategy to play but still has a degree of blind luck, like Poker.
The cards consist of a pretty picture and three symbols above it. These symbols being ✊, ✋ and ✌️. These symbols vary in arrangements, some with two of the same symbols, some with blank instead of symbols. (For example ✌️✌️✋, ✋✊✌️ or ✌️✌️
_.) For collectors value, the cards may have a 5-star rank but the ranks and pictures aren't important, it's the symbols.
There are two ways to play with these cards:
1v1Both players prepare their decks by ×5, 15 being the minimal and draw cards to have five cards in each hands. Players take a turn to place a card on a 5×2 field where each player takes up a row. When one card is placed, the ✊✋✌️symbols correspond to the symbols on the cards on both the opposing side and the neighbouring cards. Cards whose symbols are beaten by another card's symbol are put aside as "exhausted". The player with the least exhausted cards win.
1v3All four players agree on a number of cards to play with, While 1 each can be a minimum, 3 would be ideal and more cards for more rounds. The cards are held, not put aside as decks. The round begins with players choosing a single card in their hand and place it face down. When all players have placed a face down card then the second phase begins, all players turn their cards over to see how the symbols on their cards match to the three other cards on the table. Each player win or lose points per other cards that round. All four cards and put aside for the next round, which is selecting another card from hand. Player with the highest points win.
Remake and reboot are different things though so who knows someday we'll have a proper reboot of Alex Kidd.
Perhaps. Heck my card game alone could serve as a spin-off game itself. I might do that if I ever make an "Alex Kidd: RPBG".
